PM Narendra Modi to visit BJP HQ in Delhi as party leads in West Bengal, Assam

PM Narendra Modi to visit BJP HQ in Delhi as early trends show party leading in West Bengal and Assam elections, dealing a blow to Mamata Banerjee's TMC.

"All Hindus are united in favour of Narendra Modi... After four rounds of counting, the BJP is forming its government. - Suvendu Adhikari"

New Delhi, May 4

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters in New Delhi on Monday evening as early trends show strong gains for the party in West Bengal and Assam.

"Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji will visit BJP HQ, New Delhi today at 6 PM," BJP chief spokesperson Anil Baluni said in a post on X.

In West Bengal, the BJP crossed the majority threshold, dealing a significant blow to Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee's ambition for a fourth consecutive term. The Election Commission (ECI) trends show the BJP leading with 156 seats, while Mamata Banerjee's TMC is trailing behind at 86 seats.

The BJP's ally, the BGPM, is leading in one seat, signalling a promising shift in the state's political landscape.

BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in West Bengal and a key party candidate, expressed confidence, stating, "The BJP will form the government with more than 180 seats."

In a dig at the TMC's poor showing, Adhikari added, "Rone dijiye. Khatam poora khatam."

He also emphasised the unity of the Hindu vote in favor of PM Modi, stating, "All Hindus are united in favour of Narendra Modi... After four rounds of counting, the BJP is forming its government." He highlighted the dominance of the BJP in Hindu-majority areas, though acknowledging the TMC's stronghold in regions like Malda, Murshidabad, and North Dinajpur, where Congress emerged as the preferred choice.

In Assam, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) made significant strides, leading in 87 constituencies early on, with the BJP ahead in 71 seats. The Congress is far behind, securing just 21 seats. The BJP's allies, the Bodoland People's Front (BPF) and the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), are ahead in 9 and 7 seats respectively, ensuring a decisive lead in the state's Assembly election.

Meanwhile, Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangasamy is leading from the Thattanchavady assembly seat by a margin of more than 4336 votes as per the Election Commission (ECI) trends.

Puducherry is expected to witness the return of a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by N Rangaswamy, as early leads from the Election Commission showed the alliance leading on 11 seats in the 30-member Legislative Assembly.

While BJP's victory in Bengal is impressive, I'm a bit worried about the implications for India's secular fabric. The article mentions "unity of the Hindu vote" which sounds exclusionary. We need to ensure that all communities, especially Muslims and other minorities, feel safe and represented in this new government. Strong leadership is good, but inclusive governance is essential.

As a Bengali, I can tell you the mood in Kolkata is electric! Didi's arrogance and the TMC's corruption finally caught up with them. The way they handled the RG Kar medical college case, the teacher recruitment scam, and the minority appeasement—people are fed up. Suvendu Adhikari's "Rone dijiye. Khatam poora khatam" perfectly sums up TMC's situation. Bengal wants development now!

The BJP sweep in Assam is also crucial for national security. With BJP strengthening its hold in the Northeast, we can finally secure the borders and tackle illegal immigration more effectively. Congress is a non-factor there now, which is good for development. But I hope the NDA government focuses on job creation and infrastructure rather than just making political gains.

Amazing results! Modi ji's popularity remains unmatched. But I hope this victory doesn't make the party complacent. Bengal needs concrete action—improving law and order, tackling the syndicate raj, and ensuring farmers get fair prices. The real work starts now. Also, I hope the BJP leadership in Bengal will be more inclusive and not just focus on Hindu votes.
