PM Modi hails BJP's victory in West Bengal's Falta seat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed the BJP's victory in the re-poll to the Falta Assembly constituency in West Bengal, saying the result indicated the unwavering faith of the people of the state in the ruling party.

The BJP on Sunday swept the re-poll in Falta with a victory margin of more than one lakh votes in the constituency long seen as a citadel of the TMC, whose nominee slipped to the fourth place and forfeited his deposit.

''People of Falta have spoken! Democracy has won and intimidation has lost. Congratulations to Shri Debangshu Panda Ji for winning in Falta by a record margin. It indicates the unwavering faith of the people of West Bengal towards the BJP,'' Modi said in a post on 'X'.

The prime minister said people are seeing the exceptional work of the new West Bengal government across sectors, and thus have decided to further bless the BJP.

''My compliments to all BJP Karyakartas across West Bengal for their outstanding work. We will keep working for West Bengal's progress in the times to come,'' he said.
