Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday advised National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders not to let recent victories in various polls turn them complacent, saying the hard work must carry on.

Briefing the press after the NDA Parliamentary Party meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Kiren Rijiju, said the Prime Minister credited the party’s victories in elections to its people-friendly policies. Newly-elected BJP president Nitin Nabin was also formally welcomed at the meeting.

All these 39 countries are developed countries...This is historic. There has been a very good atmosphere in the country,” Rijiju said.
