Modi also said those who cannot fight the BJP democratically have resorted to murdering the party's workers. "This killing game cannot work in a democracy," he said.

Lauding the people of the country for reposing their faith in the BJP, the prime minister also thanked and praised the Election Commission, security forces, and administration for the peaceful and successful conduct of elections.

These poll results have broadened the outcome of Lok Sabha elections, the prime minister said referring to BJP's success in polls and by-polls across the country.

"BJP is the only national party in which poor, Dalits, deprived see their representation; only BJP understands the need of every section, region. The poll results have endorsed the way we have tackled COVID-19 pandemic," he said.

Amid a festival-like atmosphere with the crowd chanting 'Modi hai to mumkin hai (Modi can make it possible), BJP president J P Nadda earlier said at the event that people of Bihar have put their stamp of approval on Modi's work to deal with COVID-19 and help poor during the pandemic.

Expressing his gratitude, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar 'saluted' people for giving the majority to NDA in Bihar. He also thanked PM Modi for support.

A stellar performance by the BJP enabled the ruling NDA to attain a simple majority in the Bihar assembly notwithstanding a sharp fall in the tally of the JD(U) headed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 74 seats, while the Janata Dal (United) secured 43 seats.

The NDA won an absolute majority in Bihar winning 125 seats, three more than the halfway mark needed for a victory.  The RJD emerged as the single-largest party in the House with 75 seats.
