During a recent address at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the party's historic electoral success in West Bengal, calling for a change in political culture and an end to the cycle of violence that has plagued the state. He stated, 'There should be a change in the political habits of the state,' urging a focus on future ('bhavishya') rather than fear ('bhay'). Modi celebrated the election results as a significant turning point, declaring West Bengal 'bhaymukt' (free of fear) and a reflection of a changing political landscape. He expressed gratitude to voters in West Bengal, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, where the BJP and its allies performed strongly. Modi characterized the West Bengal victory as historic, framing it as part of a larger narrative of the BJP's rise across the Ganga belt, from Uttarakhand to West Bengal. He concluded by asserting that the election results demonstrate India's commitment to democracy and the Constitution.
