Four states, one verdict — and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai wasted no time reading it aloud. On Friday, 9 October 2026, the BJP leader declared that a string of NDA electoral victories — from Rajya Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh to by-election wins in Assam, West Bengal, and Puducherry — amount to a nationwide public endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance agenda.
What Sai is pointing to: four wins, one message
The victories in question are specific and varied. Eight BJP candidates were elected uncontested to the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh — a show of organisational dominance in India's most populous state. Simultaneously, the NDA claimed victory in the Naugaon Lok Sabha constituency in Assam, the Nandigram and Rejinagar assembly segments in West Bengal, and the Thattanchavadi assembly seat in Puducherry.
Taken together, these results span India's northeast, its most politically contested eastern state, a Union Territory in the south, and the Hindi heartland — a geographic spread CM Sai frames as proof of the ruling coalition's pan-India appeal.
Sai's verdict on the INDIA bloc and the opposition
CM Sai's post goes beyond celebration. He uses the results as a direct rebuke of the opposition, writing that the public has 'jhoothe narrative, dushprachar aur nakaratmak rajniti ko sire se nakara' — roundly rejected the opposition's 'false narratives, propaganda and negative politics.' He explicitly calls the results a 'karrara jawab' (stinging reply) to what he terms the INDIA Alliance and 'anti-national forces.'
The language is pointed and deliberate: a BJP chief minister from a state the party won decisively in 2023 is amplifying the national signal these by-election results are meant to send.
Credit to 'Sabka Saath' and BJP's national president
Sai roots the victories in PM Modi's governing mantra — 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas' — and credits the wins to good governance and public welfare. He offers congratulations to BJP national president Nitin Nabin and the party's ground-level workers, whose 'tireless effort, organisational discipline and dedication' he says deserve recognition.
The shout-out to Nitin Nabin is notable: it reinforces the party president's standing as the organisational force behind what the BJP is calling a multi-state mandate moment.
Point of View
However, goes further than results: by explicitly invoking the INDIA Alliance and 'anti-national forces,' he is road-testing political messaging that links local by-elections to the grand national narrative BJP has built around PM Modi. The congratulation to national president Nitin Nabin is also deliberate — it publicly cements Nabin's authority as the organisational steward of these wins. For the opposition, losing ground in Nandigram — historically a flashpoint in Bengal politics — will demand a strategic reckoning.
