US President Barack Obama on Monday hailed India’s massive general election and pledged to work closely with the next government in New Delhi.
“India has set an example for the world in holding the largest democratic election in history, a vibrant demonstration of our shared values of diversity and freedom,” Obama said in a statement.
“We look forward to the formation of a new government once election results are announced and to working closely with India´s next administration to make the coming years equally transformative.”
