"Spoke to Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi and the BJP National President Shri @AmitShah over the phone and congratulated them for @BJP4India led NDA's stupendous victory in these Lok Sabha Elections,” he tweeted.
"This historic victory in the General Elections is the outcome of Modiji's visionary leadership, Amit Shahji's dynamism and the hard work of millions of BJP karyakartas on the ground," he said.
The home minister said Modi is now all set to build a New India.
Riding on a massive Modi wave sweeping through most parts of India, the BJP was set to return to power on Thursday, as it led in 292 seats, while the Congress trailed far behind with 50, according to trends released by the Election Commission for all 542 seats that went to polls.
Singh, who is contesting from the Lucknow seat, himself is leading by over 1.5 lakh votes as per available trends.
