Winning elections is not for sitting on a seat but a responsibility, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday, noting that he has not taken even a 15-minute vacation since taking over the helm of the country.
To loud chants of "Modi, Modi", the prime minister, in his address to the Indian diaspora at Madison Square Garden here, said the people of India and the diaspora have conveyed the strength of democracy through the April-May elections, which saw the Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party sweep to power.
"I will not do anything to make you lower your head. The government you have chosen will not leave anything out," he said to loud cheers from the huge gathering.
