EDITORIAL
‘Aatmnirbhar Bharat’ gets immense
support across the country
T
he people of Bihar have spoken their mind. The people across the country have spoken their mind.
The thumping victory in Bihar was reinforced by many scintillating laurels won in the by-elections
held in different states across the country. The clear and convincing verdict of the people of Bihar
found its echo in the impressive victory across the country. In a clear message, the people have expressed
themselves in one voice voting and supporting BJP and NDA while showing immense faith in the leadership
of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The politics of false propaganda, negative politics and malicious and
manufactured narrative once again were rejected and defeated. In fact, it shows a rising India which is united
and unstoppable even in the face of crisis like Covid-19 pandemic. While even the most developed countries
across the world are still contending with the pandemic, the success of Indian democracy appears astounding
to the world.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has rightly said that Bihar true to its reputation of being the cradle of
democracy has once again given its verdict strengthening the true democratic voices across the country. While
the NDA represented an alliance which promises to take the state forward with its futuristic vision of ‘Aatmnirbhar
Bihar’, the alliance of RJD, Congress and Communist represented divisive and regressive
The BJP has forces based on casteist, dynastic and sectarian nexus. While RJD-Congress believes in

cycle of corruption, violence and anarchy but also paved the way for good governance and
massive people’s
support in the
development in the state. Bihar not only recovered from the ‘Jungle Raj’ of Lalu regime but
country. now looks forward to a promising future making its remarkable achievements on various
parameters of development count on national level. The BJP National President Shri JP
Nadda has rightly said that people have chosen ‘LED Raj’ over ‘Lantern Raj’ and expressed
their unflinching faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
The massive victory in Madhya Pradesh, clean sweep in Gujarat, victories in Uttar Pradesh, Manipur,
Telangana and Karnataka and huge victories in Ladakh Hill Council and in local body polls of Dadra and Nagar
Haveli along with Bihar are indicative of the surging support for BJP across the country. The BJP has gained
from east to west and from north to south proving that the positive approach in politics wins massive people’s
support in the country. The political parties relying on negative politics to the extent of jeopardizing national
interests through false and malicious propaganda are continuously punished by the people making them
bite dust in every election. The leadership provided by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi during Covid-19
pandemic, providing immense relief to poorest of the poor, senior citizens, farmers, migrant labourers, women,
divyangs and other sections of the society during pandemic, huge reform initiatives taken on almost every sector
and keeping the national morale high through bold decisions and massive ‘Seva Hi Sangthan’ programme
launched by millions of BJP Karyakartas to serve the people during pandemic have been unequivocally hailed
by the people across the country. The onward march of nation towards an ‘Aatmnirbhar Bharat’ has received
immense support from the people across the country paving the path for emergence of ‘New India’ which finds
opportunities in challenges and is capable of turning every tide in its favour.

People in Bihar once again

Defying some of the exit polls and assumed anti-incumbency factor, the
people of Bihar reposed their faith in the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi
and NDA government.

Bihar Vidhan Sabha Election Results
the people of Bihar once again reposed their faith
in the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi and NDA
government.
As per the current analysis the women, poor and
deprived section of society played crucial role in
ensuring NDA’s victory in the state. According to the
data released by Election Commission the female
voter turnout was recorded at 59.7 percent, higher
than both overall polling of both 57.05 percent and
54.7 percent male turnout. Of the 38 districts in Bihar,
23 reported higher voter turnout of women than that
of men. In all these 23 districts, NDA did better in
terms of winning seats.
The BJP has gained massively in this election. In
2015, its tally was 53 out of the 157 seats it contested;
in 2020, out of the 110 seats it contested, the BJP has
won 74, taking the NDA to victory. The party’s victory
in Bihar is the result of people’s faith in PM Shri Modi,
and it is now clear that voters of Bihar have rejected
dynasty, casteism and politics of appeasement.
A day after the BJP-led National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) retained power in the Bihar Assembly
elections, Shri Modi addressed party workers in
Delhi. He said the BJP was the only party to increase
its seats, despite being in power for three terms -- the
BJP managed to garner 19.5 per cent votes in this
election. It was the result of a well-targeted ground
work by the party karyakartas that the BJP has
managed to make people relate with development-
oriented politics in the state.
