Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of Maharashtra addressed a victory rally in Mumbai, celebrating the BJP's significant win in West Bengal as a 'maha poribortan' or great transformation. He argued that this victory will help effectively tackle the issue of cross-border infiltration from Bangladesh, which he claims was exacerbated during the tenure of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Fadnavis alleged that infiltrators were aided with documents and spread throughout India, including Maharashtra, leading to job losses for locals and involvement in anti-national activities. He expressed confidence that the defeat of the TMC would mark the end of such infiltration and related terror activities. Fadnavis also praised the BJP's dedicated workers and noted that the party's achievements under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have facilitated development in West Bengal. He concluded by asserting that the elections demonstrated the strength of democracy, as the people responded to the misrule of the TMC.
