His remarks come in the backdrop of the BJP's strong performance in the recent Assembly elections, including a landmark victory in West Bengal, where the party significantly expanded its footprint. According to Election Commission data, the BJP secured 206 seats, a sharp jump from 77 seats in the previous Assembly polls.
Addressing party workers during victory celebrations at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the election results reflected the people's preference for stability amid global uncertainty. "While people were voting, a whole host of incidents were unfolding around the world. War sirens were blaring everywhere. An atmosphere of instability and chaos prevailed... Yet, at that moment, the people of India were voting for stability," he said.
Referring to the situation in West Bengal, Modi also highlighted the peaceful conduct of elections. "For the first time, not a single innocent citizen lost their life in election violence... it was not fear, but democracy that triumphed," he said.
He further urged political workers to move forward constructively. "The focus should be on change, not revenge... let's end this endless cycle of violence once and for all," the Prime Minister added.
The BJP's performance in West Bengal marks a significant political shift in a state historically dominated by the Congress, Left parties, and later the TMC.
