Addressing BJP workers in Bengaluru, Modi said the National Democratic Alliance’s return to power in Puducherry and Assam, along with the BJP’s breakthrough performance in West Bengal, marked a major political shift in the country.
“I have arrived in Bengaluru today at a time when discussions regarding election results are underway across the country. The formation of an NDA government in Puducherry for the second consecutive time, the formation of an NDA government in Assam for the third consecutive time, and in Bengal, the BJP receiving such a massive mandate for the very first time,” Modi said.
Referring to the BJP’s recent victories in Gujarat’s panchayat and local body elections, the Prime Minister said the party had “broken all previous records” in the state.
Modi described Karnataka as a key pillar of the BJP’s growth and organisational strength. “Karnataka has always been a major source of energy for the BJP,” he said, while adding that he could see a “saffron surge” in the southern state.
Stepping up his attack on the Congress, Modi accused the opposition party of refusing to introspect after repeated electoral setbacks.
“The Congress is blaming the whole world for their failure,” he said.Drawing a comparison between the BJP’s rise and the Congress’s shrinking electoral footprint, Modi said the grand old party had witnessed a dramatic decline over the decades.
“We work only for the welfare of the country. But Congress, who had over 400 seats 40 years ago, cannot even touch 100 now,” he said.
Highlighting the BJP’s growth in West Bengal, Modi said the party had expanded rapidly over the past decade.
“A decade back, we had just three MLAs in Bengal. But today, we have over 200 seats there,” he said, calling it evidence of growing public support for the BJP’s politics.
The Prime Minister asserted that voters across the country were increasingly backing governments focused on governance and solutions rather than divisive politics.
“India’s people want solutions and nationalistic politics,” Modi said
