Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the “historic mandate” received by the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra and extended congratulations to the JMM-led alliance for its victory in Jharkhand.

In Maharashtra, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance secured a strong majority, reflecting public support for their governance and development agenda. PM Modi expressed gratitude to the people of Maharashtra for reposing faith in the coalition, emphasizing the BJP’s commitment to the state’s growth and prosperity. The victory reinforced the BJP’s influence in the state, underlining its appeal among urban and rural voters alike.

In Jharkhand, the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance triumphed, ending BJP’s tenure in the state. PM Modi congratulated the JMM-led coalition, particularly its leader Hemant Soren, on their success. He highlighted the need for cooperative federalism and assured the Centre’s support for Jharkhand’s progress.

The contrasting results reflect diverse regional sentiments. While Maharashtra voters endorsed the BJP-led coalition’s policies, Jharkhand’s electorate opted for a change, prioritizing local leadership and pressing issues like unemployment and tribal welfare. Both outcomes reaffirm the strength of India’s democratic process, with voters making distinct choices based on their aspirations.

PM Modi’s statements reiterated his respect for the people’s mandate in both states, signaling readiness to work with newly elected governments for the nation’s overall development. The elections highlighted the evolving political dynamics and the importance of addressing state-specific concerns alongside national goals.
