PM Modi Attributes Today’s Win To India’s Democratic And Constitutional Values

The winds of change in Bengal that have swept away the Mamata Banerjee government and embraced the BJP after years of diffidence, was saluted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening. On the occasion, he also made two important promises — strong action against infiltrators and immediate activation of the Central health scheme in the state, over which there have been years of conflict with the state’s Trinamool Congress government.

There were also a couple of predictions – the “fall” of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party that had blocked the women’s quota bill. The two parties, he said, will have to face the “wrath of women”.

In an address to BJP workers at the BJP headquarters this evening, PM Modi said, “A new chapter has been added to the destiny of Bengal from today. Bengal has been freed from fear and is now filled with the confidence of development. Banglay poriborton hoyeche (Change has arrived in Bengal)”.

“I dedicate the credit for the Bharatiya Janata Party’s success in Bengal – this victory – to the people of Bengal… A new sunrise has dawned on the sacred land of Bengal,” he added.

It was also a matter of pride for the BJP that Anga (modern-day Bihar), Banga (Bengal) and Kalinga (Odisha) — the three pillars of ancient India — have chosen the NDA to help take the country forward again, PM Modi said.

“We have set out with the objective of a Developed India. In the fulfilment of the resolution for a Developed India, the rise of the East (Purvoday) holds immense significance,” he added.

The Prime Minister also took a dig at the Opposition parties on the occasion, indicating that while women – angry over the defeat of the quota bill in parliament – had exacted revenge over Banerjee in Bengal, a similar fate awaits all the parties that blocked the bill in parliament last month.

“I had said a few days ago that parties opposing reservation for women will have to face the wrath of women. The sisters and daughters of our nation have now punished the Congress, Trinamool, and the DMK,” he said.(updated on 4th may 2026)
