As the Lok Sabha elections come to a conclusion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi muses on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) prospects, expressing confidence in their ability to return to power at the Centre and establish a government in Odisha, where simultaneous assembly elections are taking place.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, PM Modi outlines the BJP’s strategic decision not to form an alliance with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), which is led by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, despite their friendly connection. He emphasizes his steadfast devotion to Odisha’s progress, putting the state’s welfare ahead of personal affiliations.
In his discussions with Mr. Patnaik, PM Modi emphasizes the need of cultivating constructive connections among political leaders, arguing that mutual respect is required for efficient government. He reiterates the democratic principle of maintaining cordial relations across party lines while reaffirming his commitment to Odisha’s development.

With hope, PM Modi forecasts a dramatic shift in Odisha’s political landscape following the elections, with a BJP-led administration dedicated to ushering in a new age of progress and prosperity for the state.
Turning his attention to West Bengal, Prime Minister Modi expresses confidence in the BJP’s growing strength and predicts huge electoral gains.
