PM Modi Points to Electoral Wins as Proof of BJP's Growing National Appeal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke at a public event in Kaliabor, Assam on Sunday. He declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party has become the first choice for voters across India. Modi stated that public trust in the BJP has been steadily renewing over the past eighteen months.
Recent Victories Show Saffron Strength
The Prime Minister pointed to several key electoral results. He mentioned the recent civic body polls in Maharashtra. Voters in Mumbai delivered a decisive mandate to the BJP. Mumbai was once considered a stronghold of the Congress party.
"Just two days ago, the people of Maharashtra gave BJP a record mandate in major cities," Modi told the crowd. "This includes Mumbai, one of the world's largest municipal corporations."
Breakthroughs in Kerala and Continued Success in Bihar
Modi also highlighted a significant first for the party in South India. The BJP recently elected its mayor in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. This marks a historic achievement in a state where the party has traditionally faced challenges.
He referenced the elections in Bihar as further evidence. "Even after twenty years, the public gave record votes to BJP in Bihar," Modi said. "We won a record number of seats there."
The Prime Minister connected these victories to a broader national trend. He argued that today's voter prioritizes good governance and development. They also value cultural heritage, which aligns with the BJP's platform.
Audience Reaction and a Message on Congress
The audience in Kaliabor responded with enthusiastic chants praising the BJP. Modi became emotional while discussing how the party's success in Maharashtra resonates with supporters in Assam.
He contrasted the BJP's rise with the decline of the Congress party. Modi stated that these election results carry another clear message. The country is continuously rejecting what he called "Congress's negative politics."
"In Mumbai, the city where Congress was born, it is now the fourth or fifth party," Modi asserted. "In Maharashtra, where Congress ruled for years, the party has completely shrunk. Congress has lost the country's trust."
The Prime Minister's speech framed the recent local election outcomes as part of a sustained saffron surge. He presented them as a national endorsement of his party's vision and governance model.
