Historic Victory in Odisha
In his address, PM Modi began with chants of “Jai Jagannath” and highlighted the BJP’s historic victory in Odisha. He noted, “The BJP is going to form a government in Odisha, and even in the Lok Sabha election, Odisha performed beautifully. This will be the first time that the land of Lord Jagannath will have a BJP Chief Minister.” The election results for the Odisha Assembly saw the BJP winning 63 seats and leading in 15 others out of the 147-member Assembly. Similarly, the BJP has won 9 Lok Sabha seats in Odisha and is leading in 10 others.

Commendation for the Election Commission
The Prime Minister commended the Election Commission of India for their efficiency and transparency during the election process. “They carried out such a huge election with so much efficiency in this scorching heat.

He stated, “The NDA has also swept the states – Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh – where Assembly elections were held. The Congress has been wiped out in these states. The BJP for the first time will form the government in Odisha. It has also performed exceptionally in Lok Sabha polls in Odisha.”
Assurance for Development
The Prime Minister assured the people of the states that went to assembly polls that the central government would ensure their development. He praised the leadership of key NDA allies for their stellar performance in Andhra Pradesh and Bihar under TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, respectively.
Recognition of Efforts in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir
PM Modi also recognized the efforts of BJP workers in Kerala, where the party won a seat. He stressed that the record voter turnout in Jammu and Kashmir reflected the people’s defiance against anti-India elements. “In this election, the voters of Jammu and Kashmir have shown unprecedented enthusiasm by voting in record numbers. They have shown the mirror to anti-India elements who defame the country in the world. I bow before the people of the country on this victory,” he said.
Commitment to Fighting Corruption
Finally, PM Modi reaffirmed his commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring India’s progress towards becoming a developed nation. He stated, “We (NDA) will not stop until poverty is eliminated in the country. We will not stop until our defence sector is self-reliant. To make India the world’s third-biggest economy, the NDA government will leave no stone unturned. We must hit hard on corruption if we want to move ahead. But the reality is that fighting against corruption is becoming difficult with time,” but he assured that the action against corruption would continue.
