On May 5, 2021, Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani praised the largely peaceful assembly elections held in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry, calling it a reflection of the maturity and strength of Indian democracy. He stated that the peaceful polling, particularly in West Bengal—where electoral violence was common in the past—marks a significant victory for democracy and constitutional institutions. Devnani highlighted that the high voter turnout demonstrates increasing trust in the democratic process, with voters exercising their rights without fear. He credited the Election Commission of India for its effective measures, including identifying sensitive polling booths and deploying additional forces, which contributed to a transparent election process. The enthusiastic participation of women and youth was also noted as a positive sign of the new generation's engagement in democracy, reinforcing India's identity as the 'Mother of Democracy.'
