Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed BJP workers at the party headquarters in Delhi following a victory in West Bengal and Assam.
The result marks a shift in the political landscape of eastern India, as the BJP secured a dominant position in a region long held by opposing coalitions.
During the event, Modi celebrated the party's electoral success and the support of the electorate. "People's power has prevailed," Modi said.
The victory in West Bengal is substantial, with the BJP winning more than 190 seats [1] in the 2026 Assembly elections. This outcome represents a sweeping lead for the party in the state, coupled with further success in Assam.
Modi used the platform to outline future policy directions and security priorities. He addressed the issue of illegal immigration and border security. "We will take strict action against 'ghuspaithiyas'," Modi said.
The gathering at the Delhi headquarters served as both a victory rally and a communication hub for the party's grassroots workers. The Prime Minister emphasized the role of the party's workers in achieving these results, a win that reshapes the party's influence in the region.
While some reports indicated the address was scheduled in anticipation of the results, the final speech occurred after the lead was confirmed.
“"People's power has prevailed."”
The BJP's capture of more than 190 seats in West Bengal represents a major strategic breakthrough in a state that has historically resisted the party's platform. By securing a mandate in both West Bengal and Assam, the party strengthens its grip on the eastern corridor, potentially altering the national political balance and providing a mandate for stricter border and immigration enforcement.
