West Bengal 2026: PM Modi Calls for 'Badlav' After Win

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Bharatiya Janata Party workers at the party headquarters following a resounding victory in the West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry assembly elections. In his speech, he emphasized the need for 'badlav' (change) rather than 'badla' (revenge), signaling a focus on development and progress.

Landslide Win for BJP

The BJP secured a landslide win in West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry, marking a significant milestone in the party's expansion across India. Modi highlighted that the lotus, the BJP's symbol, is now blooming from Gangotri to Gangasagar, symbolizing the party's reach from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal.

Message of Unity and Development

Modi urged party workers to work tirelessly for the people and avoid any divisive actions. He stressed that the mandate was for positive change and urged everyone to focus on governance and public service. The Prime Minister also thanked the voters for their trust and reiterated his commitment to the welfare of all citizens.

The victory in West Bengal is particularly significant as it marks the BJP's first major breakthrough in the state, which has been a stronghold of the Trinamool Congress. Modi's call for 'badlav' over 'badla' resonated with the crowd, who cheered loudly in response.

In Assam, the BJP retained power with a comfortable majority, while in Puducherry, the party formed the government for the first time. These victories are seen as a boost for the BJP ahead of the 2029 general elections.

The Prime Minister also took a dig at opposition parties, stating that the people have rejected negative politics and voted for development. He emphasized that the BJP's focus remains on good governance, infrastructure, and social welfare schemes.

Party workers celebrated the victory with sweets and slogans, expressing confidence in Modi's leadership. The BJP's win in West Bengal is expected to reshape the political landscape of the region, with implications for national politics as well.
