"A Modi win implies that India desperately wants change. I have also voted for the party and now, I want this government to deliver its promises and bring about policy reforms, make India safer for women and give them equal rights," Youtso, a 20-year-old student, told IANS.
Pratikshya Gogoi, who lives in Guwahati, said it is natural to expect development and better facilities.
"But along with that, I hope the new government does away with all sorts of reservations - except for the differently-abled in the field of education. Additionally, the resources from our areas should be used for us only," Gogoi, a 23-year-old student, told IANS.
But for Priya Raman, a homemaker, women's safety should be the new government's priority as "everything else will follow".
"Women's safety cannot be ensured by weakened patrolling and check posts without the presence of police personnel. The government should run sensitisation programmes, enforce stricter laws and set up fast track courts, which would ensure better conditions for women," she added.
Raman further stated that only when the new government ensures all this will it stand the test of time.
