Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed BJP workers at the party headquarters following the BJP-Mahayuti alliance's resounding electoral triumph in Maharashtra. He hailed the victory as a decisive endorsement of good governance, social justice, and development, expressing heartfelt gratitude to the people of Maharashtra for trusting BJP's leadership for the third consecutive time.
PM Modi congratulated key leaders from Maharashtra for their role in the party's victory. "I would like to hail Eknath Shinde Ji, Devendra Fadnavis Ji, and Ajit Pawar Ji for their leadership in the victory in the Maharashtra polls," he said, acknowledging their efforts in securing the win.
During his victory speech, the Prime Minister highlighted the by-election results, noting BJP’s strong support in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh, with the NDA gaining momentum in Bihar. He emphasized the nation's growing focus on progress and expressed gratitude to Maharashtra’s voters, youth, women, and farmers. Furthermore, PM Modi saluted the people of Jharkhand, pledging intensified efforts for its rapid development with the dedication of BJP karyakartas.
Lauding Maharashtra for opening its heart once again, PM Modi said, “Maharashtra, the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has once again shown how to confront appeasement politics. This is the biggest victory for any party or pre-poll alliance in the last 50 years. For the third consecutive time, Maharashtra has placed its trust in a BJP-led alliance. Once again, the BJP emerged as the largest party in Maharashtra, which is truly historic. This is a stamp of approval on BJP’s governance model.”
“Maharashtra’s people gave BJP more seats than Congress and its allies combined. This reflected that when it comes to good governance, the country only trusts BJP and NDA. Maharashtra became the sixth state to give BJP three consecutive mandates, following Goa, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. This was the public’s faith in BJP’s model of good governance, and we left no stone unturned to uphold this trust,” he added.
PM Modi highlighted the election’s maha-mantra: "Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain". He said Maharashtra and Haryana sent a clear mandate for unity, rejecting Congress’s attempts to divide SC/ST/OBCs with false promises. Tribals, OBCs, Dalits, and all communities backed BJP-NDA, delivering a strong blow to Congress and INDI alliance’s divisive agenda.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the BJP's efforts to promote and preserve the Marathi language and culture. Unlike Congress, which he said failed to take significant steps despite decades in power, the BJP granted Marathi the status of a classical language. PM Modi emphasized that respect for mother tongues, cultures, and historical heritage is intrinsic to the BJP's character. Highlighting his vision for a 'Viksit Bharat,' PM Modi referred to the 'Panch Praan' he introduced from the ramparts of the Red Fort, which included pride in India's heritage.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that the Indian voter stands firmly with the principle of 'Nation First.' He remarked that citizens across the country reject leaders and parties driven by a 'Kursi First' mentality, i.e. those focused solely on power and personal gains.
Speaking about how this result serves as a mandate against those who want to reinstate Article 370, he reiterated, “This mandate from Maharashtra sends a strong message: the entire nation will adhere to only one Constitution i.e. Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s Constitution. Congress and its allies attempted to revive Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir, but Maharashtra made it clear that such efforts will not succeed. No power in the world can bring back Article 370.”
The PM called out Congress's hypocrisy regarding Veer Savarkar and Balasaheb Ji, stating, “This election has exposed the double standards of the INDI alliance. While Congress allied with a faction of Balasaheb’s party for power, they refused to honor his ideology. I challenged Congress’s allies to get Congress to even speak a word in favor of Balasaheb’s policies, but they couldn’t. Likewise, Congress repeatedly insulted Veer Savarkar. In Maharashtra, they momentarily halted their disrespect to seek votes but failed to recognize his sacrifices. This hypocrisy has revealed their true nature.”
Hitting out at the Congress party, PM Modi said, “In India's politics, the Congress party has now become a ‘parjeevi’, struggling to form governments on its own. In recent elections, they were wiped out in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Haryana, and Maharashtra. Congress's outdated, divisive politics is failing, yet their arrogance remains sky-high.”
Furthermore, PM Modi condemned Congress's fake secularism, remarked, "In its relentless pursuit of power, Congress has torn apart the secular spirit enshrined in our Constitution. The Constitution's framers embraced secularism while respecting Hindu traditions, but Congress has twisted that into a false version of secularism. By sowing the seeds of appeasement, they have betrayed the very essence of our Constitution. They ignored Supreme Court rulings and created mechanisms like the Waqf Board to further their political agenda. This is nothing short of a betrayal of true secularism."
“Congress’s royal family’s hunger for power has distorted the idea of social justice. Once, Indira ji opposed casteism, but today, Congress spreads casteism to satisfy its hunger for power. Congress’s priority is now the family, not the people, which harms democracy,” he added.
Highlighting urban development under BJP-NDA rule, the PM reiterated, “BJP is focused on building global-standard infrastructure, including expanding metro networks, modern electric buses, coastal roads, and airport modernization. We are also committed to cleanliness and to providing new opportunities for youth across various sectors, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and startups. Our goal is to make Indian cities among the best in the world.”
Concluding his speech, PM Modi reinforced ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ stating, "I have always said that we need to bring new youth into politics. Today, NDA candidates without political family ties have earned voter trust, a promising sign." He continued, "Elections come and go, but BJP’s goal is to build a developed India. In just 10 years, we moved from the 10th to the 5th largest economy. Soon, India will be the 3rd largest. United, we will achieve every goal.”
