He assured the people of the state that BJP will work hard to fulfill the aspirations of the state's youth and "serve the state with utmost diligence."
Prime Minister Modi also hailed the BJP's state unit. "I am glad that they reached out to every section of society and explained the Party's development agenda," he said in another tweet.

The Congress was ahead of the BJP in the valley by bagging 157 wards, while saffron party won in 100 wards, they said.
