Change not revenge, future not fear: Top PM quotes after BJP takes Bengal
Addressing BJP workers in Delhi, Narendra Modi hailed the party's claimed 200-plus victory in West Bengal and appealed for an end to post-poll hostility. He also invoked Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, saying the result would honour his legacy and the efforts that kept Bengal in India.
Amid loud cheers and chants in the national headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed thousands of workers, who gathered after the party ensured a historic victory in West Bengal with a thumping 200-plus majority. While advocating for the welfare of Bengal’s citizens, PM Modi appealed for an end to post-election hostilities, seeking to dismantle what has historically been regarded as an entrenched and inevitable situation in the state's political landscape.
Expressing his gratitude to lakhs of BJP workers and the voters of Bengal who ousted the 15-year-long Trinamool Congress rule, PM Modi said that the BJP's win would ensure a new journey and a ray of hope for Bengal's future, where development will be prioritised for the lakhs of youth and women. He also emphasised that migration, which angered a significant population of Bengal, would stop as the BJP would ensure employment for all.
TOP QUOTES FROM PM'S SPEECH
My clear belief is that from today, the prevailing electoral mindset in Bengal must change. When the BJP has won, the focus should not be on revenge but on change; not on retaliation, but on the future. I appeal to all political party workers to put an end to this endless cycle of violence once and for all. We must rise above issues like who voted for whom or who did not, and instead work together for the service and development of Bengal."
advertisementEven though this evening of May 4 may be setting, a new sunrise has taken place today on the sacred land of Bengal, a dawn that generations have been waiting for. The number of seats won by the BJP is not merely an electoral figure; it is the resounding expression of unwavering faith that has uprooted the politics of fear, appeasement, and violence. From today, a new journey for Bengal’s future begins, one where development, firm trust, and new hopes will move forward together, step by step.
Last year, on November 14th, when the Bihar election results were announced, I told you all from this very spot, from the BJP headquarters, that the Ganga flows from Bihar to Gangasagar. And today, with Bengal's victory, the lotus has bloomed from Gangotri to Gangasagar. Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and now West Bengal. Today, these states, nestled around the Ganga, have the BJP and NDA in power.

Standing on the threshold of this great victory, we also remember Gurudev Tagore... His dream of an environment where the mind is free from fear and the head is held high must also be our resolve. The BJP will create such a fear-free environment in Bengal. This is Modi's guarantee.
Women in Bengal will now enjoy a safe environment, youth will find employment, and migration will stop. The Ayushman Bharat scheme will be given the green light in the first cabinet itself, and the strictest action will be taken against infiltrators.
