Rajnath commends people, Modi for victory

On cabinet formation, he said “it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister and we will discuss all these issues after we sit together.”

Praising Advani, Rajnath said “as far as Advaniji is concerned, he is not only our leader but we treat him as our guardian. The party was taken to the heights it has reached today is because of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Advani.”

The BJP chief said that despite getting a majority of its own, the party will form an NDA government with all its allies as part of it.

Rajnath Singh said the party won the election on its agenda of good governance and development even though many parties tried to divert the attention of the people from it.

“No one can win an election like this on negative issues and negative agenda. Our proven track record of good governance helped us get the mandate,” he said.
