Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Bharatiya Janata Party workers at the party's Delhi headquarters on Monday evening [1, 2].

The visit follows the announcement of assembly election results in Assam and West Bengal. A victory in these regions would solidify the BJP's influence in eastern India and demonstrate the party's ability to expand its electoral footprint in historically contested territories.

Modi said supporters that the party is poised to win the elections in both states [1, 2]. He credited the party's momentum to the support of the grassroots workforce and positive poll trends observed leading up to the final count [2, 3, 4].

During his interactions with party workers from West Bengal, Modi addressed the political climate in the region. "The mood is favouring the BJP," Modi said [3]. He also used the occasion to take a jab at the Trinamool Congress, the primary opposition in West Bengal [3].

The Prime Minister emphasized that the electoral outcome reflects a broader trend in Indian politics. "People’s faith in democracy and good governance drove the mandate," Modi said [1].

The appearance at the Delhi headquarters was designed to boost morale among party cadres as they awaited the final confirmation of the vote counts [2, 3, 4]. The BJP remains confident that the feedback from the field indicates a strong mandate for its platform in both Assam and West Bengal [2].

“"The mood is favouring the BJP,"”

The Prime Minister's focus on West Bengal and Assam highlights the BJP's strategic effort to penetrate the eastern belt of India. A successful result in West Bengal, in particular, would signal a significant shift in a state long dominated by the Trinamool Congress, potentially altering the national political landscape ahead of future general elections.
