Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lauded the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s performance in the West Bengal Assembly elections, stating that the mandate reflects public support for governance-driven politics.

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal would be remembered, adding that the results reflect the will of the people.

“The people have given a clear mandate. The BJP remains committed to fulfilling the aspirations of the people and ensuring development and inclusive growth,” he said.

He also credited party workers for the result, noting that the outcome was the result of sustained organisational efforts over the years.

Later, addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters, Modi described the day as “historic” and said the results across states reflect trust in democratic institutions and governance.

“This is a day that reflects trust in democracy and in the politics of performance,” he said.

The Prime Minister congratulated party workers and noted that these were the first Assembly elections under BJP president Nitin Nabin.
