Lotus blooming from Gangotri to Gangasagar: PM Modi on BJP's assembly election win

New Delhi, May 04: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the lotus is now blooming from Gangotri to Gangasagar with the BJP's historic victory in West Bengal and asked all parties to work for change, not revenge, and ensure that the state's future trumps over fear. Addressing BJP workers at the party headquarters after the win in assembly elections in West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry, Modi said it was a special day in many ways as it heralds a bright future for the country. It is a day of trust in the great democracy of India, trust in the politics of performance, trust in the resolve of stability, trust in the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat. I bow before the people of West Bengal, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Keralam, he said at the victory celebration event where BJP President Nitin Nabin, Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, among others, were present. Modi said on November 14 last year, when the Bihar election results came in, he told the BJP workers from this very spot that the Ganga flows onward from Bihar all the way to Ganga Sagar (in West Bengal). And today, with victory in West Bengal, from Gangotri (Uttarakhand) to Ganga Sagar (West Bengal), it is nothing but the lotus in full bloom. Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal today, in these states surrounding Mother Ganga, there are BJP-NDA governments, he said. Democracy, not fear, won in this festival of democracy in West Bengal, Modi said. When the BJP has won in Bengal, there should be talk of 'badlav' (change) not 'badla' (revenge), 'bhavishya' (future) not 'bhay' (fear), he said. The Prime Minister said winning and losing are a natural part of democracy and politics, but the people of the five states have shown the world why the country is the mother of democracy. Democracy is not just a system for us; it is the river of traditions in our veins. Today, not only has India's democracy triumphed, but India's Constitution has also triumphed. Our constitutional institutions have triumphed; our democratic processes have triumphed, he said. Modi said the nearly 93 per cent voter turnout in West Bengal has been historic in itself, and new records of voting have also been set in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. He said women's participation in this election has been exceptionally high and this is emerging as the brightest picture of Indian democracy. Today is a historic day, unprecedented. When years of penance transform into attainment, the joy that appears on the face, that joy today I am seeing on the faces of BJP workers across the country, he said. The Prime Minister also congratulated the Election Commission, all its employees, all the personnel involved in the voting process, especially the security forces, for the successful conduct of the assembly elections. History will always remember your contribution to maintaining the dignity of India's democracy, he said.

4 youth undertake Dandvat Yatra to Amarnath Cave

Four young men from central and northern India are on an extraordinary spiritual journey toward the sacred Amarnath Cave, undertaking a rare and physically demanding Dandvat Yatra. The pilgrims Jatinder Rajput, Rohit Ray, and Nayain Jain Sanatani from Madhya Pradesh, along with Amit Rajput from Uttar Pradesh have been travelling for the past nine to ten months, inching their way toward the revered shrine of Baba Barfani with deep spiritual commitment. Carrying their essential belongings on bicycles, the youth advance step by step, chanting devotional slogans in praise of Lord Shiva. Their journey is not merely physical but profoundly spiritual, as they perform Dandvat Yatra a form of pilgrimage where devotees move forward by repeatedly lying flat on the ground in reverence. The three young men from Madhya Pradesh began their journey on September 3, 2025, while Amit Rajput from Uttar Pradesh commenced his pilgrimage earlier, on July 23, 2025. Despite harsh weather conditions, physical exhaustion, and the challenges of long-distance travel, their resolve remains unshaken. Speaking to Greater Kashmir during their passage through NH 44 in Ramban district, the pilgrims emphasised that their mission is to promote Sanatan Dharma and advocate for the protection of cows by seeking their recognition as the national animal. They also shared a message of unity, stating that divisions such as Hindu-Muslim arise from a lack of understanding of ones own faith and its true teachings.

New Delhi, May 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the inauguration of the 'Sacred Exposition of the Holy Relics of the Tathagata' in Leh, and said it offers a valuable opportunity for people from across Ladakh to pay their respects. Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday inaugurated a sacred holy relics exposition of Tathagata Buddha and the 2569th Buddha Purnima celebrations in Leh during his two-day visit to Ladakh.
