"During this election, I observed that for a 'Developed Bengal' (Viksit Bengal), the people seek an open field--a level playing ground--to pursue their aspirations. Our daughters desire an open sky--the freedom to soar--and, above all, they seek security. Every citizen, every family, is now determined to move forward with a singular resolve. There has been enough fear; what is needed now is trust--and what is needed now is the BJP," he wrote.

The Prime Minister reiterated that he will not step back from his responsibility and steer the State towards the path of opportunities and development.

"To serve Bengal, and to ensure the safety and security of Bengal--this is my solemn duty. To transform every challenge confronting Bengal into an opportunity is a task that is both my destiny and my responsibility. I will not waver or step back from this responsibility of mine. I give you my assurance: we will all come together to celebrate the joyous occasion of the BJP Chief Minister's swearing-in ceremony in Bengal," he added.

In an X post, PM Modi expressed heartfelt sentiments to the people of the State.

"Throughout the entire election campaign in West Bengal, the immense love and blessings I received from my family members have filled me with new energy. Be it the youth power here or the women's power, our farmer brothers and sisters, workers, or businessmen, everyone is committed to a 'Developed Bengal'. In this letter, I have expressed my feelings towards them," he wrote.

Polling for the second phase of elections is scheduled on April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 4. (ANI)
