Addressing the legislative party meeting, Sitharaman said, "I congratulate all elected MLAs. I congratulate Devendra Fadnavis to being elected as the leader of the legislative party. The mandate of 14 crore voters in this election is a message for whole India. This was not just a regular assembly election. After Lok Sabha elections, the citizens of the country have given a clear mandate through Haryana elections and then Maharashtra elections. Unexpected and unprecedented victory in Maharashtra is a big message towards the Vikshit Bharat."
