NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her Cabinet colleagues welcomed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s sweeping victories in the West Bengal and Assam election results, calling them a clear endorsement of public trust and the welfare-driven policies under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Led by BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, along with party workers, also took out a “Bengal Victory March” on Deendayal Upadhyay Marg amid music and celebrations.

Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party leaders extended their congratulations to Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP national president Nitin Nabin, describing the outcome as a “historic mandate.” Chief Minister said the Centre’s development agenda would now benefit West Bengal as well, adding that the state is poised to move forward on a rapid growth trajectory, much like the national capital.

The Chief Minister and her Cabinet colleagues celebrated the victory at the Delhi Secretariat, where the occasion was marked by a light-hearted exchange of traditional Bengali snacks such as jhal muri and rasgulla. She expressed confidence that people across the country would continue to back development, stability, and good governance in the years ahead.

Highlighting key central schemes such as Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Digital India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat, CM Rekha Gupta said these initiatives have brought meaningful changes to people’s lives.

She pointed out that efforts to empower the poor, farmers, women, and youth have accelerated the country’s development journey, while India’s growing stature on the global stage reflects strong and decisive leadership. She also underlined that the BJP’s focus extends beyond electoral success to ensuring balanced and inclusive development across states.

She said significant improvements in infrastructure, connectivity, and employment opportunities—from the Northeast to eastern India—are reflected in the election results.

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