Prime minister Manmohan Singh today congratulated Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa for his party's convincing win in the Parliamentary elections. 

Singh spoke to Rajapaksa on phone and congratulated him for his party's convincing win in the elections, a PMO official said.

Rajapaksa's United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) returned to power bagging 117 of 225 seats in the first post-LTTE era parliamentary polls in Sri Lanka against a fractured opposition.

UFPA's closest rival United National Front secured just 46 seats while ex-army chief Sarath Fonseka's Democratic National Alliance failed to touch even a double digit mark.
