West Bengal voters voting in fear-free environment: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed confidence that the BJP-led NDA will win the upcoming Assembly elections in four states—Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and West Bengal. He also said the alliance will secure victory in the Union Territory of Puducherry. Speaking after inaugurating the 594-km Ganga Expressway connecting Meerut and Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, he noted that voters in West Bengal are exercising their franchise in a fear-free environment this time.

Earlier, PM Modi held a roadshow in Varanasi, passing through several parts of the city before concluding at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where he offered prayers amid Vedic chants.
