Mumbai: The country has a stable government with full majority for the first time in 30 years with a strong leader like Narendra Modi, the Shiv Sena said here yesterday, praising the BJP victory in the Lok Sabha polls.
“It is like a dream come true after the hellish nightmare. It seems the gods and goddesses worshipped by Indians have all unanimously blessed the people of the country by this election result,” the party said in an editorial in the mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
It felt the victory is bigger than that of the Janata Party-led coalition in 1977 and people are at a loss of words to describe Modi’s achievement, it said.
Describing the outcome akin to a second movement for Independence after 1947, the ‘Saamana’ said: “Modi came like a man, and the country wholeheartedly stood behind that man and supported him through the ballot boxes to free the country... “
Terming the Modi wave as “bigger than the wave following the battle for Ayodhya”, the Shiv Sena said the biggest trees have been uprooted, proving to be a colossal loss to the Congress.
