The prime minister added that the people of Bihar have responded to ‘sabka saath, sabka vikaas.’

PM Modi praised the determination and dedication of all the NDA workers. He said: “Democracy has once again won in Bihar with the blessings of people.”

“The blessings of the NDA’s good governance again after 15 years in Bihar shows what Bihar’s dreams are, what Bihar’s expectations are,” he added.

The congratulations from several BJP leaders started pouring in on Tuesday even before the Election Commission finished counting the votes, once it became clear that the NDA were within reach of a victory.

Home Minister Amit Shah was the first BJP leader to thank people of Bihar for ‘choosing development, progress’.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that people showed trust in the party’s ‘development for all’ motto.

BJP President JP Nadda tweeted that he “wholeheartedly congratulated and thanked the people of Bihar for today's mandate.”

Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi took to Twitter to thank all Biharis for choosing “development and good governance.”

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tweeted that delivering on promises and performance of BJP under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi is well recognised.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal also tweeted and said that people trust PM Modi's leadership and development-based politics. He also congratulated JP Nadda and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on their hard work.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad posted a series of tweets where he thanked the people of Bihar for “reposing their trust in NDA once again”. He went on to congratulate PM Modi, Nitish Kumar, JP Nadda and the party cadres.

Lok Janshakti Party’s National President Chirag Paswan also declared victory for the BJP and PM Modi. “People of Bihar have expressed confidence in PM Modi. It is clear from the results that there is enthusiasm in the people for the BJP. This is the victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Paswan said.

The JD(U)-led NDA returned to power on Tuesday after winning more than 122 seats, securing a fourth term for Nitish Kumar as the chief minister of the state.
