SILCHAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today that he sensed a "massive Modi government wave" as parts of India voted in the first round of the national election.

"Today voting is taking place in the first phase in some parts of the country. From what we know so far, a massive wave for Modi government is visible," PM Modi said at a rally in Silchar in Assam.

He said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance would win all five seats of Assam, in which voting took place today. The state will vote in two more rounds.
