Voter turnout figures in Bengal so far make me certain that BJP set for landslide victory: PM Modi
Apr-23-2026

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the people of West Bengal for their massive turnout in the ongoing first phase of assembly elections, and called the vote figures so far indicative of an ‘overwhelming mandate for change’.

Addressing an election rally at Krishnanagar in Nadia district, Prime Minister claimed the BJP has achieved decisive victories whenever people turned up to vote in overwhelming numbers. He further said, ‘Violence was kept at a minimum in the last 50 years of poll history in Bengal. The information I have received so far makes me certain that this is going to be a mandate for a change’. Reports of sporadic violence were received from some pockets of the state during the first few hours of polls in West Bengal.

On his earlier promises of ‘six poll guarantees’ for the state, the PM pledged a fresh set of 10 Modi-ki-guarantees aimed at the uplift and welfare of women and children of Bengal. He said Modi-ki-guarantee automatically means the fulfilment of those guarantees and assured that the granting of citizenship under CAA will receive a fillip after the BJP assumes power in Bengal.
