Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday greeted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as his party is on course of a landslide victory in the Indian national election. PM’s special assistant Mahbubul Hoque Shakil said that the Prime Minister congratulated the Hindu nationalist leader as his party is set to return to power with a landslide victory. Preliminary results showed the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party captured a commanding lead for at least 272 seats in the lower house of Parliament, the majority needed to create a government without forming a coalition with smaller parties, according to UNB.
