Modi quits Vadodara, retains Varanasi

On the day of the results, Modi had expressed his gratitude to the people of Vadodara for the huge win.

“After filing my nomination, I could spend only 50 minutes with you but you gave me victory by 5.70 lakh margin.  I have checked up and found that only P V Narasimha Rao had won by such a big margin and that was in a bye election. Mine has been recorded in a general election,” he had said.

The Lok Sabha Speaker will process the resignations and after acceptance the vacancies will be intimated to the Election Commission so that bye elections can be held.
