Guruvayur: Having won a massive mandate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said political parties and pundits failed to gauge the public mood ahead of the Lok Sabha election and thanked the electorate for reposing confidence in the saffron party.
In his first public engagement after leading the BJP to a grand victory in the general election, retaining power for a successive term, Modi said he made Kerala his first stop after the win despite having no MP from the state since it was as dear to him as his constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
Terming the just concluded Lok Sabha election to 542 seats as a “festival of democracy,” Modi lauded and thanked the electorate of Kerala for their contribution to it. The country has seen that “people are God” in elections, he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today had darshan at the famous Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple in Kerala. He was accompanied by Kerala Governor P Sadasivam, who arrived bare-chested, during his visit to the temple.
