On Tuesday, the United States praised India’s parliamentary elections as the largest exercise of democracy in history.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller congratulated the Indian government and voters on successfully completing the mammoth electoral process.
During his daily news conference, Miller stated, “On behalf of the United States, we want to commend the government of India and voters there for successfully completing and participating in such a massive electoral undertaking, and we look forward to seeing final results”.
“I’m also not going to comment on winners and losers in elections as is our case around the world. What is important for us and what we have seen over the past six weeks is the largest exercise of democracy in history, as the Indian people came to the polls”, Miller continued.
The BJP-led NDA won a majority in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, allowing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to establish the government for a third consecutive term.
