American Hindus have congratulated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leader Narendra D. Modi on landslide victory in India’s parliamentary elections.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, commended Modi’s statement that he would rule for all Indians.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, expressed hope that the new Indian government would take India to the next level, bring its past glory back, revive India's stalled economy, and make it an economic powerhouse and major cultural influence.

Rajan Zed further hoped that the new government would skillfully capitalize India’s many strengths to move India forward; end poverty and endemic corruption; bring development to rural areas; successfully handle economic, environmental and social issues; and strengthen India-US relations.

Zed also congratulated multi-lingual India for successfully completing world’s biggest exercise in electoral democracy with about 814 million eligible voters.
