Dressed in traditional Bengali attire, the Prime Minister described the outcome as a “historic day” and “unprecedented” moment, crediting years of dedicated work by karyakartas for the mandate.
Speaking as one among the workers, PM Modi began by saying, “As a karyakarta, I join other BJP workers on this occasion.” He noted the joy visible on the faces of party workers across the country, stating, “Today is a historic day. It is unprecedented. When years of efforts turn into success, the happiness that is seen on the faces of people is the same happiness that I see on the faces of BJP workers across the country today.” He expressed deep gratitude to every BJP karyakarta, saying, “Today, I express gratitude to every BJP worker. You have helped in rewriting history today.”
In a sharp attack at the very outset of his victory speech, the Prime Minister slammed the Congress, declaring, "The Congress has become a gang of 'urban Naxals'." He linked this to the election verdict, underscoring how the results reflected a rejection of such elements and a strong endorsement of the BJP's politics of performance and development.
The Prime Minister used the sacred Ganga as a metaphor for the BJP’s expanding influence. Recalling his remarks after last year’s Bihar results, he said, “Last year, on November 14th, when the Bihar election results were announced, I told you all from this very spot, from the BJP headquarters, that the Ganga flows beyond Bihar to the Gangasagar. And today, with Bengal’s victory, the lotus has bloomed from Gangotri to the Gangasagar. Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and now West Bengal.”
