NEW DELHI: “Bihar ke logon ne garda uda diya,” declared Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his first address after National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a historic win in Bihar Assembly Elections on Friday. Hailing “Chhathi Maiyya”, he extended his gratitude to the voters for “rejecting appeasement politics of the opposition”.Highlighting the high voter turnout in the state, especially that of women, PM Modi said that the people had given a new “positive MY formula, and that is Mahila and youth”.NDA emerged victorious in the state, crossing the 200-seat mark and potentially surpassing its 2010 record of 206 seats.
Top quotes from PM Modi’s speech:
- Jai Chhathi Maiya, yeh prachand jeet, atoot vishwas, Bihar ke logo ne bilkul garda uda diya hai.
- Some parties in Bihar had created the appeasement formula of MY. But today’s victory has given a new positive MY formula, and that is Mahila and Youth. Today, Bihar is among those states of the country which have the highest number of youth, and this includes youth from every religion and every caste. Their desire, their aspiration and their dreams have completely destroyed the old communal MY formula of the Jungle Raj people.
- We are the servants of the people. We keep making the people happy with our hard work and we have stolen the hearts of the people. And that is why the entire Bihar has said ‘Phir ek baar NDA Sarkar’.
- When I used to speak about Jungle Raj and Katta Sarkar in Bihar elections, the RJD party raised no objections. But it hurt the people of Congress. Today, I want to reiterate that Katta Sarkar will never return to Bihar…The people of Bihar have voted for Viksit Bihar.
Hailing the victory, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar extended his gratitude to PM Modi along with the voters.“In the Bihar Legislative Assembly Election-2025, the people of the state have given us a thumping majority, expressing their confidence in our government. For this, I offer my salutations to all the esteemed voters of the state, heartfelt thanks, and gratitude,” he said in a post on X.“I extend my salutations to the esteemed Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, along with heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the support received from him. The NDA alliance has demonstrated complete unity in this election and secured a thumping majority. For this resounding victory, I also express thanks and gratitude to all our N.D.A. alliance partners—Shri Chirag Paswan Ji, Shri Jitan Ram Manjhi Ji, and Shri Upendra Kushwaha Ji. With everyone’s support, Bihar will advance even further and join the ranks of the most developed states in the country,” he added.
