Ahead of the vote counting day on May 23, 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday described the Lok Sabha elections as "unique" as he met his Council of Ministers at a meeting convened by BJP chief Amit Shah for thanking them for their work.

The meeting was called by BJP chief Amit Shah to thank the Ministers of the NDA for dedicatedly working for five years and fulfilling the schemes of the government, Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the media while briefing on the deliberations.

PM Narendra Modi while thanking his cabinet colleagues, said all worked very hard to take the government's initiatives to the people and fulfilling them. Terming this election as "unique", PM Modi said that these polls were above politics and were being "fought by the people" of the country, Tomar added.

He said the BJP president also gave his good wishes to all the Ministers in the context of the Lok Sabha election results.
