Full text of PM Narendra Modi’s victory speech after North-East Assembly Elections 2018

# Several workers of BJP have sacrificed their lives, our innocent workers were killed only due to ideological differences.

# Left parties killed our several workers. The killings of our workers have been answered by the public of Tripura through their vote. They fought against Maoist ideology. Fear & confusion are the weapons of leftist parties. Let’s observe two minutes silence in a mark of respect to workers who were killed in the Left violence.

# The Left party has received a befitting reply for spreading ‘bhay’ and ‘bhram’ among people in Tripura.

# Targeting Congress, PM Modi said that it has not been able to take the defeat sportingly, adding that people should accept even defeat gracefully.

# BJP chief Amit Shah has been the architect of this victory. Even in the remote North-East truth about BJP and BJP Government has reached the common man. I thank all the voters on behalf of BJP.

# Today, the entire country is painted with saffron. Our party is a party of all colours...from saffron to rainbow. In vastu, the North-East position is very important. According to vastu shastra, North-East is the most auspicious side. I am happy that north east is part of the ‘vikas yatra’. The North-East region has today come forward to lead India on the path to development.

# From being 'no one', BJP has 'won' today. This victory has been achieved with limited resources. No celebrities were used in these elections. Tripura elected team is the youngest team...we have a young team here, they have done wonders.

# When North Eastern people used to harass in Delhi, we sent the first message in 2014 by taking up these matters seriously. Rajnath Singh addressed the issue of violence against North-Eastern students.

Our ministers travelled to the North-East states extensively, we sent more ministers to the regionin the last 4 years than any other government since independence. BJP workers are being targeted and killed in states such as West Bengal, Kerala, even Odisha and now in Karnataka.

# Opposition always says this is vendetta...this is not vendetta, this is ‘mandate’. BJP has risen in every corner of the country due to hard work of the party workers.

# Congress party’s status has gone down even as some people have got elevated. Once, I had told a Congress Chief Minister that the party will soon become a specimen. Congress's popularity was never on a decline as it is today. BJP workers must be alert that it does not allow Congress culture in the party.

# People from North-East always felt that Delhi is far away from them, but with the ‘Doner Ministry’ in place, BJP has brought Delhi to their doorsteps.

Here’s what BJP chief Amit Shah said on BJP’s stellar performance in North East Assembly Elections:

# This ‘vijaya rath’ of BJP will now go to Karnataka. This is the first celebration in new BJP headquarters...this is a historic day for the party.

# BJP has given a fitting answer to the killing of its 9 workers in Tripura. This is the victory of ‘act east policy’ of PM Modi.

# This victory shows people of North-East have excepted ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas.’ This is a victory of politics of performance.

# In all these three states public has given a mandate against the Congress. Voters have rejected Congress.

# We will get even bigger mandate in 2019 Lok Sabha Elections. We will win Karnataka, Kerala & Odisha. This victory is dedicated to those party workers are being killed in Kerala, Karnataka & Odisha.

# This is not our final destination: next is Odisha, Kerala and West Bengal.

BJP utilised massive deployment of money & other resources to influence the elections.

BJP chief Amit Shah on North East Verdict

# It is a day for joy for the BJP. This is a great day for lakhs of BJP workers, win in the North-East is very important for us. This win has many different meanings for us. I congratulate our workers in all the three states.

# We will focus on development of the North-East region. When we won the 2014 elections, PM Modi had mentioned how the Eastern India was neglected...PM started the ‘act east policy’ to bring development into North-East.

# This is a victory of PM Narendra Modi's North-East policy.

# Our workers faced violence from communists in Tripura, many of them were also killed also. But, they gave victory to us.

# Our victory in Tripura is a big one...in 2013, we just had 1% vote share, now we have won elections with over 50% vote share. Our allies in Meghalaya have done well.

# Results of this election will have a cascading effect on Karnataka Assembly Polls. We are preparing for a big win in Karnataka.

# Results of these three states are an indication of the results we will get in Karnataka and then 2019.

# This is a big moral victory for our workers in West Bengal and Kerala.

# Our win in Tripura is historic...Congress did not win a single seat in Tripura or Nagaland.

# Left is not right for any part of India. Tripura has proven that Left is not the right party for India.

# In 2014, Narendra Modi ji had said western side of the nation has developed a lot but the same has not reached the eastern side yet. He immediately started his 'act east policy'. I believe this is the victory of his policies, stamped by the 3 states of the north-east.

# In Tripura, BJP and allies won all 20 tribal seats. All three states are dominated by tribals...and BJP and its allies have won majority of these tribal region seats.

# North-East needs development and peace. 21 states in the country are now NDA, BJP ruled states.

# Manik sarkar was a failed government. No development took place in the last 25 years. CPM will find new excuses as this time Voter-verified paper audit trail were being used.

# Congress has not got full majority in Meghalaya, why did senior Congress leaders went to Meghalaya?

# No win is small for us...our workers fought against the violence of left and today their souls will rest in peace.

# Our golden period is yet to come...we will make our governments in Odisha, West Bengal & Kerala...and we will definitely win Karnataka. These results will boost our confidence for 2019.

# Amit Shah’s jibe on Rahul Gandhi: "perhaps there are elections in Italy"

# 2018 Tripura election will be remembered as an epoch-making one! What my sisters and brothers of Tripura have done is extraordinary. No words will be enough to thank them for the phenomenal support towards BJP Tripura. We will leave no stone unturned in transforming Tripura.

# The victory of BJP Tripura is not an ordinary electoral victory. This journey from ‘Shunya’ to ‘Shikhar’ has been made possible due to a solid development agenda and the strength of our organisation. I bow to every BJP Karyakarta for working assiduously on the ground for years.

# The historic victory in Tripura is as much an ideological one. It is a win for democracy over brute force and intimidation. Today peace and non-violence has prevailed over fear. We will provide Tripura with a good government that the state deserves.

# I express my gratitude to the people of Meghalaya for supporting BJP. The welfare of Meghalaya is of utmost importance for us. I appreciate the BJP Karyakartas for their continued efforts in the state to serve the people.

# Thank you Nagaland for supporting BJP and our valued ally. I assure my sisters and brothers of Nagaland that we will continue to work for the progress and prosperity of Nagaland. I applaud the tireless work of the local BJP unit.

# Time and again, election after election, the people of India are reposing their faith in the positive and development oriented agenda of the NDA. People do not have the time or respect for negative, disruptive and disconnected politics of any kind.

There are many factors and the main factor is the leadership, vision of PM Modi for these states and also Amit Shah's organisational management skills.

PM Modi has set high standards for the party, working members. Over the last few months, party workers have put in a lot of hard work on the ground. Results of these three states will have ramification in national politics.

Congress and Left spread falsehood against BJP and now people have given a fitting answer to them.

Himanta Biswa Sarma, BJP

Tripura has lacked development under the Left Government. So there is revolt in Tripura by people against the current government . CPM has not delivered...it’s behind by minimum 20 years in its development agenda.

Alliance with IPFT could have been suicidal or get huge advantage but Amit Shah was sure it will get good results. Christians have voted in large number for the BJP in these states. Our party is now emerging political party among christians in North-East

If Amit Shah is student of post-graduate, Rahul Gandhi is student of nursery.
