Chirag Paswan, son of the late Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, congratulated PM Modi during the meeting and credited him for the NDA's victory in the Lok Sabha elections. "The credit for this goes to you. It was that willpower that helped in recording such a massive victory in history. It was not a normal thing that NDA kept getting such a big victory under the leadership of the Prime Minister for the third time in a row," said the LJP (Ram Vilas) Chief.
He added that the people of India have complete faith in the Prime Minister. "Because of you, today in front of the world we can proudly say that India has become the fifth-largest economy of the country," Paswan said.
The BJP-led NDA includes the Janata Dal-united JD(U), Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jana Sena Party, Janata Dal-Secular, Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Rashtriya Lok Dal, among others.
