In a post on X, Sarma said: "This immense blessing of the people was received due to the successful leadership of the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the hard work of our workers.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha congratulated the people of Delhi for choosing the BJP and rejecting the "corrupt" Aam Aadmi Party government. He attributed the victory to Prime Minister Modi's leadership and his commitment to the welfare of the poor.
"We were expecting this result and I had predicted. The people of the country know how our Prime Minister thinks and works for the poor and for all. This AAP government was involved with corruption, and people are aware of it so we also knew this was supposed to happen," Saha told the media.
