As the BJP government completed one year in power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the social media platform Twitter to thank the nation that gave him a sweeping mandate.
The counting of votes for the 16th Lok Sabha elections took place on May 16. A single party majority was a first in nearly 30 years.

Credit for this major shift goes to the people of India, who on this day last year gave the most resounding mandate in thirty long years.
