প্রজন্মের পর প্রজন্মের অগণিত কার্যকর্তার প্রচেষ্টা এবং সংগ্রাম ছাড়া পশ্চিমবঙ্গে বিজেপির এই রেকর্ড জয় সম্ভব হতো না। আমি তাঁদের সকলকে অভিবাদন জানাচ্ছি। বছরের পর বছর ধরে, তাঁরা প্রতিকূল পরিস্থিতির সঙ্গে লড়াই করে, মাঠে নেমে কঠোর পরিশ্রম ক��েছেন এবং আমাদের উন্নয়নের এজেন্ডার বিষয়ে কথা বলেছেন। তাঁরাই আমাদের দলের শক্তি।

BJP’s record win in West Bengal would not be possible without the efforts and struggles of countless Karyakartas over generations. I salute them all. For years, they have worked hard on the ground, overcome all sorts of adversities and spoken about our development agenda. They are the strength of our Party.

#BhalobashaBengal | I will support any initiative that benefits our citizens and contributes to the vision of #ViksitBharat. Bengal is deeply rooted in my identity—it’s in my DNA. There is a clear difference between political movements and governance. For me, governance is about education, entrepreneurship, employment, and empowerment—that is what true good governance stands for: @Leander, Ex Tennis Player
