CM hails ‘historic mandate’, says ‘politics of fear, corruption rejected’

New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta Monday welcomed BJP’s sweeping victories in the assembly elections in West Bengal and Assam, calling the results “a clear endorsement of public trust and welfare-driven policies” under PM Modi.

“Under PM’s leadership, every state in the country is turning saffron. Not just Assam’s hat-trick victory, BJP govt has also come to power in Bengal, which has delivered a historic mandate, sweeping and decisive. A clear rejection of corruption, fear and appeasement politics. This is a mandate for BJP, for seva, sushasan and vikas,” CM said.

Gupta, who addressed several back-to-back election rallies and held roadshows in Bengal during the campaign, said, “Central govt’s development agenda will now benefit West Bengal too. The state is poised to move forward on a rapid growth trajectory, much like Delhi.”

Along with her cabinet colleagues Ashish Sood, Parvesh Verma, Kapil Mishra, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, CM celebrated the victory at Delhi Secretariat, where the occasion was marked by a light-hearted exchange of traditional Bengali snacks such as jhalmuri and rasogulla. Gupta expressed confidence that people across the country will continue to back development, stability and good governance in the years ahead.

Calling the verdict more than just a political win, CM said it reflects a broader shift in public sentiment. “Voters have moved beyond empty slogans, divisive narratives and hollow claims of secularism, and are instead choosing to prioritise tangible development, transparency and results-oriented governance. Significant improvements in infrastructure, connectivity and employment opportunities, from the Northeast to eastern India, are reflected in the election results,” said Gupta.

Referring to West Bengal, CM alleged several central schemes had not been fully implemented by the state govt. “With the new mandate, citizens would now be able to benefit directly from these policies, leading to a tangible improvement in their quality of life,” she said.
