Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed the outgoing Cabinet ministers a day after the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha Polls were declared and said that the number game was a part of political life, and asked the union ministers to continue the good work. His remark comes as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 240 seats in the 2024 polls.

"We have done good work for the last 10 years. We will continue doing so. Victory and defeat are part of politics. The numbers game will go on," he said as quoted by NDTV.

PM Modi also thanked Union Ministers for giving their best in the past 10 years. "All of you have worked very hard," PM Modi said.

Earlier in the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi submitted his resignation, along with his council of ministers, to President Droupadi Murmu ahead of the formation of the next Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA government. This will pave the way for the dissolution of the 17th Lok Sabha, which ran from 2019 to 2024.

Meanwhile, as PM Modi gears up for third consecutive term, the outpouring of congratulatory messages from global leaders underscores the significance of India's role on the world stage and highlights the strong bilateral relations fostered under his leadership.

The congratulatory messages come in the wake of the mammoth seven-phase Lok Sabha elections, touted as the world's largest democratic exercise, which commenced on April 19 and concluded on Saturday.

While most exit polls had predicted a comfortable victory for the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the official results revealed the BJP securing 240 seats, lower than its 2019 tally of 303. However, the Congress party witnessed significant growth, clinching 99 seats, while the INDIA bloc exceeded the 230 mark, defying earlier predictions and posing formidable competition to NDA's 292 seats.
