This large turnout is extremely commendable.

It is a significant achievement that we were able to complete the polling in a completely peaceful manner, without any untoward incidents anywhere in the state. Special appreciation goes to everyone who worked day and night to successfully execute this massive undertaking, including election officials, the police and central forces who provided security, health workers, volunteers, and others.
