Veteran Indian cricketer-turned-commentator, Ravi Shastri wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his own unique style for BJP's landmark victory in Uttar Pradesh and Modi replied back in typical Shastri fashion.
"Congratulations @BJP4India on the landslide win in UP. The pair of PM @narendramodi & @AmitShah went past 300-mark like a #TracerBullet," tweeted Shastri.

"Thank you. UP polls did not quite go down to the wire. But, at the end of the day democracy is indeed the real winner! :)" replied Modi.
