I am seeing a new India: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday he was seeing a new India the way people voted in the just ended assembly elections.

"Despite the absence of any emotional issue, so many came forward to vote. I am seeing a new India here," Modi told party leaders and activists at the party headquarters on Ashoka Road.

"People are saying 'Give us an opportunity, we will work hard'. This is the foundation of a new India," Modi said. "The election victory is a pious order of the people."

Modi's comments came a day after the BJP swept to power in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and has vowed to form governments in Manipur and Goa too.
