As the BJP government completed one year in power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the social media platform Twitter to thank the nation that gave him a sweeping mandate.
The counting of votes for the 16th Lok Sabha elections took place on May 16. A single party majority was a first in nearly 30 years.

Credit for this major shift goes to the people of India, who on this day last year gave the most resounding mandate in thirty long years.

I bow to my sisters & brothers of India & congratulate them (perhaps even more) on this memorable day.

I once again express my gratitude to Party colleagues, Karyakartas & volunteers whose untiring efforts created history on 16th May 2014.

The government has planned huge celebrations for its first anniversary. The programme will begin on May 26 – the day the government was sworn it – with a rally in Mathura led by the Prime Minister. Altogether, 250 rallies will be held across India – roughly one for every two constituencies.
