Sonia Gandhi congratulates Modi on his victory

Congress president Sonia Gandhi has written to Prime Minister-designate Narendra Bhai Modi, congratulating him on the BJP's victory in the Lok Sabha elections, party sources said Thursday.
They said Gandhi wrote to Modi Tuesday.

Sonia Gandhi and her son and party vice president Rahul Gandhi had not mentioned Modi by name when they addressed the media after the results came out May 16. Sonia Gandhi then congratulated "the new government" while taking responsibility for the party's poor performance.
BJP leaders had taken exception to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi not congratulating Modi soon after the election results came out, saying that he had been felicitated by several world leaders.
