Earlier Modi said, " I take your blessings. The BJP is going to get a bigger success than in 2019. West Bengal is an important state for us. Congress ruled for 50 years, but people of Eastern India only got poverty despite the states being capable. These states have mineral resources and fertile land. These states also have tourism potential.

I have decided to make these states an engine of growth for Viksit Bharat after the Look Eastpolicy was unveiled.
