The ‘pair of 2-boys’ will again fail: PM
The PM said that the "pair of two boys" (Rahul and Akhilesh), which had flopped many times, would repeat the same feat. People cannot expect any development from them.
With the BJP crossing the 300-mark in the Lok Sabha elections, an ecstatic Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said, “India wins yet again”.
Proving the exit polls right, the BJP government marched past the 300-mark of the total 542 seats to elect the 17th Lok Sabha.
The Congress is far behind with just 50 seats, according to the trends.

In 2014, the BJP had won 282 seats while the Congress had to contend with an all-time low of 44 seats as against the 206 it won in 2009.
The BJP is riding high on major gains in West Bengal and Karnataka and what appears to be a clean sweep in Rajasthan.
Taking to Twitter, PM Modi said that a combination of unity, development and trust has resulted in India’s victory.
सबका साथ + सबका विकास + सबका विश्वास = विजयी भारत
Together we grow.
Together we prosper.
Together we will build a strong and inclusive India.
India wins yet again! #VijayiBharat
