Ahead of the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive rally in Barrackpore, energising the crowd with a powerful and emotive speech. Drawing from history to the present, PM Modi invoked Barrackpore’s legacy as the cradle of India’s first war of independence in 1857, positioning it as a symbol of change once again. “Barrackpore paving way for change in Bengal”, he added.

"This very land of Barrackpore gave strength to India’s first war of independence in 1857. Today, it is paving the path for transformation in Bengal," the PM said. He noted the resounding sentiment among the people, adding, "Everywhere, one voice echoes - ‘Paltano Dorkar, Chai BJP Shorkar.’"

Highlighting the unprecedented enthusiasm during the campaign, PM Modi remarked, “Despite the heat and countless rallies, I have not felt even a trace of fatigue in Bengal. The energy of the people here keeps me going.” Calling his roadshows like a pilgrimage, he added, “Among the devotees of Maa Kali, I feel constantly blessed with renewed energy.”

Expressing gratitude, he said, “You have come from far and wide to bless me. I am deeply grateful. I leave with the belief that after May 4, I will return for the swearing-in ceremony of a BJP government.”

The Prime Minister spoke at length about his bond with the people. “For decades, I have travelled across the country as a party karyakarta. I do not see day or night, I find my happiness among the people. You are my family,” he said.

He shared moving anecdotes from the campaign trail, including a young woman who waited from early morning just to meet him. “I regret not being able to meet her, but I am confident I will someday. Her blessings are with me,” he added.

Positioning the election as pivotal not just for Bengal but for eastern India, PM Modi said, “When Ang (Bihar), Bang (Bengal) and Kalinga (Odisha) were strong, India prospered. Today, for India to achieve its development goals, these regions must rise together.” He expressed confidence in a political shift, stating, “Bihar and Odisha have already chosen development. Now it is Bengal’s turn, this time the lotus will bloom here too.”

Contrasting BJP’s vision with the ruling TMC, PM Modi criticised the lack of accountability. “Those who ruled for 15 years have no report card, no roadmap. Their formula is abuse and threats. They have targeted Modi, constitutional institutions and even the armed forces with their derogatory remarks. TMC leaders have also intimidated the people of Bengal,” he said.

He highlighted industrial decline in the Barrackpore belt, pointing to closed jute mills and rising lawlessness. “Where factories once thrived, now bombs and bullets echo. This must change,” he asserted, promising revival through Make in India initiatives.

Outlining key assurances in Barrackpore, PM Modi promised transparent government recruitment, expansion of the creative economy, rural employment guarantees and support for street vendors.

On women’s empowerment, he said, “Daughters’ education, income, healthcare, safety and dignity are our priority.” He also assured implementation of major welfare schemes, including Ayushman Bharat and financial support for women across life stages. Also, he announced that the Ayushman Bharat scheme will be implemented in West Bengal in the very first Cabinet meeting of a BJP government.

Invoking Bengal’s cultural and nationalist legacy, PM Modi said, “Vande Mataram once became the mantra of freedom. In the 21st century, it must become the mantra of Bengal’s development. He added, “The City of Joy must also become the City of the Future in the 21st century. This is the task before us.”

In his closing appeal, he urged voters to choose change: “You have given 70 years to others. Give BJP one chance. Together, we will free Bengal- from violence, corruption, syndicates, infiltration and unemployment.” The rally concluded with a strong call for voter participation, as PM Modi positioned the election as a decisive moment for Bengal’s future and India’s eastern growth story.

World Leaders Congratulate Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on Becoming India’s Longest-Serving Elected Prime Minister
June 09, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi received warm congratulations from world leaders on the eve of his becoming the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India. World leaders from across the globe paid tribute to Prime Minister’s transformative governance, his advocacy for the Global South, and his vision of an inclusive and economically dynamic India.

H.E. Anura Kumara Disanayaka, the President of Sri Lanka, in a letter dated 8 June 2026 addressed to the Prime Minister, conveyed the warm congratulations of the Government and people of Sri Lanka to him, stating: “This milestone is a testament not only to your years in office, but also to the trust and confidence that the people of the world’s largest democracy have repeatedly placed in your leadership.” The President also highlighted India’s remarkable economic and social transformation and noted that Prime Minister Modi’s vision has inspired many beyond India’s borders, including Sri Lanka. Prime Minister Modi visited Sri Lanka from 4–6 April 2025, his fourth visit to the island nation, during which he was conferred the Mitra Vibhushana, Sri Lanka’s highest civilian honour accorded to a foreign dignitary. The visit reaffirmed India’s Neighbourhood First policy, with Sri Lanka among the closest beneficiaries of India’s steadfast partnership, including India’s pivotal support during Sri Lanka’s economic difficulties in 2022.

H.E. James Marape, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, in a personal video message, described Prime Minister Modi as “a role model and an example of leadership”. He also stated - “Lifting over 200 million people out of poverty to good life today is an amazing feat.” Prime Minister Marape expressed Papua New Guinea’s warm friendship and its desire to further consolidate bilateral ties. Prime Minister Modi’s historic visit to Papua New Guinea in May 2023, the first-ever by an Indian Prime Minister, for the Third Forum for India–Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC-III) Summit was a landmark moment in India’s engagement with the Pacific Island nations. The visit underscored India’s role as a committed partner of the Global South.

H.E. Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, congratulated Prime Minister Modi on this occassion, noting that “under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India has evolved as a leading voice on global matters.” She highlighted Prime Minister Modi’s journey from humble beginnings to leading a nation of 1.4 billion people across three terms, and underscored India’s significant achievements in foreign policy, economic growth, infrastructure, and socio-economic development. Prime Minister Modi paid a landmark visit to Trinidad and Tobago from 3–4 July 2025, the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 26 years, coinciding with the 180th anniversary of the arrival of Indian immigrants to Trinidad and Tobago.
