WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), co-chair of the bipartisan U.S. Senate India Caucus, said in a statement: “I offer my congratulations to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Narendra Modi, and I look forward to working with the new Indian government to move the U.S.-India relationship forward.
Once the new government is formed, both the U.S. and India should commit to accomplish some specific actions in the first 100 days to demonstrate that we can work together to get things done. I believe opportunities exist in the areas of defense trade, energy, and foreign direct investment, as well as further efforts to advance the bilateral investment treaty.”

“For the past 13 years, Modi had met every challenge he faced by converting each of them to an opportunity. His integrity, simple lifestyle, hard work, and a keen desire to innovate continuously to better serve his constituents have helped him win the hearts and minds of the people of India. For a person who had to face such insurmountable challenges, including significant personal attacks for more than a decade, Modi has acted like a true statesman. We applaud his historic achievements and victory.
USHA also applauds the resolve of the Indian public to participate in the elections in such large numbers and strengthen India’s democratic culture. In spite of the scorching heat, India recorded the highest percentage of voter turnout since independence.”
