The Bharatiya Janata Party boasted “Modi-fied India” (Modimay Bharat). On social media, the saffron party emphatically declared its arrival in West Bengal.
“From the heart to Bengal, the map is not only expanding, it is the faith of a nation determined to move forward. From north to northeast, the color shift is no longer subtle. Bengal is simply the latest chapter in a story that is already well underway. Together we will build Viksit Bharat by 2047,” the BJP wrote on social media, sharing a map of its political activities.
The BJP and its NDA allies currently rule a large number of Indian states. The presence of saffron is especially dominant in the Hindi heartland and western India.
Major BJP strongholds include Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura also have BJP chief ministers.
