Massive 92.5%+ Voter Surge in Bengal Signals Historic Political Shift and Growing Trust in Modi-Shah Leadership: Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal Bhukhri Kalan
Ludhiana, 24 April 2026: National BJP leader, Advocate Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal Bhukhri Kalan expressed his heartfelt gratitude and deepest respect to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji for their visionary leadership, tireless dedication, and transformative governance which, according to him, continues to inspire confidence not only across Bharat but also beyond its borders.
Grewal stated on his social media platforms, especially on X, that the consistent, transparent and people-centric working style of the Central Government under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi Ji has created a strong sense of trust among citizens. He further stated that the developmental approach, reform-oriented policies and unwavering commitment towards national progress have significantly strengthened the democratic fabric of the country.
Grewal further said that West Bengal today stands at a very decisive and important political moment. He highlighted that the remarkable voter turnout of more than 92.5% in the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, held on 23 April, is not merely a statistical figure, but a powerful reflection of growing public awareness and active democratic participation.
He explained that historical electoral patterns show that such a sharp rise in voter turnout often indicates a strong wave of change at the grassroots level. Referring to past trends, he noted that West Bengal witnessed around 81% voting in 2006, which rose to approximately 84–85% in 2011 marking a major political shift, then stabilised at around 82.3% in 2021, and now witnessing an unprecedented surge beyond 92% in 2026. According to him, this significant rise clearly indicates that something deep and meaningful is unfolding in the state’s political landscape.
Grewal also mentioned that various electoral studies and analytical perspectives suggest that such a strong increase in voter participation often reflects a shift in public sentiment and rising expectations from governance. He said that people are coming out in large numbers not just to vote, but to actively shape their future, which reflects determination, hope, and a strong desire for accountable and effective governance.
He added that with increasing aspirations, growing awareness, and strengthened trust in national leadership, there is a clear and visible demand for development, transparency, stability, and security. In his view, West Bengal appears to be moving towards a new direction where citizens are seeking progress-oriented governance and inclusive growth.
Grewal stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party, under the collective leadership of the national organisation, is emerging as a strong and credible alternative, committed to the vision of progress, stability, and inclusive development.
He also specially acknowledged the contribution and leadership of senior national and organisational leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, stating that their guidance and hard work continue to strengthen the party’s ideological clarity and organisational reach across the country. He appreciated the role of Shri Nitin Nabin, National President, Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri B. L. Santhosh, National General Secretary (Organisation), Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Arun Singh, National General Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Hon’ble Union Minister, Government of India, Shri O. P. Dhankar, National Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party and Shri Vijaypal Singh Tomar, Senior Leader, Bharatiya Janata Party.
He said that this election is not merely about political power, but about stability, integrity, and the future of Bengal. He expressed that the mandate appears to be taking shape in a manner that reflects a growing aspiration for change aligned with the development vision of the respected national leadership.
