New Delhi, November 14: After the NDA’s landslide victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Bihar has made it clear that it will not support those out on bail and the state has also paved the way for BJP’s victory in West Bengal.
Addressing workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, the Prime Minister launched a scathing attack on the opposition, especially the Congress, saying that this result is the victory of ‘development’ and the defeat of ‘dynasty’ and ‘appeasement politics’.
The Prime Minister began his address with the slogan ‘Jai Chhathi Maiya’. He said that the people of Bihar “raised the storm” by expressing their faith in the dignity of democracy, resolve for development and good governance.
Prime Minister said, “Bihar has declared—another NDA government. Bihar will no longer support those who are out on bail. This mandate sends a clear message that the days of Jungle Raj and the “Katta Sarkar” (government of the oppressed) will never return.”
He said that the confidence with which Bihar has given the NDA its mandate has paved the way for the BJP’s victory in Bengal as well.
Modi said, “Just as the Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal, this victory in Bihar is bringing energy to Bengal. I assure the brothers and sisters of Bengal that the BJP, together with you, will uproot Jungle Raj from West Bengal as well.”
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress and the Grand Alliance, Prime Minister Modi said that the opposition had tried to defame Bihar, but the people had given them a befitting reply. He said that those who called Chhath Puja a “drama” could never respect Bihar’s traditions and culture.
He added, “Those who insulted Chhathi Maiya have not apologized till date. The people of Bihar will never forget this insult.”
Modi alleged that the Congress party has today transformed into a “Muslim-League Maoist Congress.” He said, “The direction in which the Congress leaders are taking the party is rapidly increasing discontent and resentment within the Congress. I fear that another major split in the Congress could occur in the future. The Congress has no positive vision for the country—neither a vision for development nor a model of governance.”
He said that in the assembly elections held in six states after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has not been able to cross the 100-seat mark even once. The number of MLAs elected by the NDA in just one election today is more than the Congress won in six elections.
Taking a dig at the opposition’s “MY” (Muslim-Yadav) appeasement formula, the Prime Minister said that the people of Bihar have completely rejected it and have advanced positive politics by electing a new “MY”—women and youth. He said that Bihar’s young voters have strengthened democracy by overwhelmingly supporting the purification of the voter list.
He said that the people of Bihar have demonstrated their commitment to a developed Bihar by casting a record vote. Bihar has clearly stated that it wants development, not jungle raj. I had requested for a record voter turnout, and Bihar broke all previous records.
The Prime Minister also stated that today’s victory is a triumph of democracy and strengthens public confidence in the Election Commission. He also thanked the people for their support to the BJP in the Nagrota by-elections in Jammu and Kashmir and Nuapada in Odisha.
He said that the BJP’s consistent mandate in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Delhi, and now the landslide victory in Bihar, prove that people are increasingly accepting the NDA’s model of development and good governance. He said that this victory is a mandate for development against dynasty politics.
The Prime Minister told investors from India and the world that Bihar is now ready for investment and is poised to write a new chapter in development. He said that the people of Bihar have played a crucial role in India’s development, and this mandate will accelerate the state’s progress.
The Prime Minister said that Bihar has once again proven through its vote that “lies lose, public trust wins” and that the people know how to respond to any force that attacks democracy.
