Trump Congratulates PM Modi on BJP's "Historic" Election Victory in Bengal and Assam
US President Trump congratulates PM Modi on the BJP's landslide victory ending Mamata Banerjee's 15-year rule.
Donald Trump has congratulated Narendra Modi on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) “historic” election victory in West Bengal and Assam, describing the outcome as decisive and significant. The message was conveyed through a White House statement following recent communication between the two leaders.
According to White House spokesperson Kush Desai, Trump praised Modi’s leadership during a phone call held last month. He reportedly expressed admiration for the Indian Prime Minister and remarked that India is “lucky” to have him leading the country at a crucial time in its political landscape.
The congratulatory message comes after the BJP secured a landslide victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections, winning over a two-thirds majority. The result marked a major political shift in the state, ending the 15-year rule of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress party.

The election outcome is being viewed as a significant milestone for the BJP, which has been expanding its footprint across eastern India. Analysts say the scale of the victory reflects strong voter support and could influence political dynamics ahead of future national and regional elections.
Trump’s remarks highlight the continued engagement between India and the United States, with both countries maintaining close diplomatic ties across political, economic, and strategic domains. The communication between the two leaders also underscores the importance of bilateral relations amid evolving global challenges.
The BJP’s performance in Assam further strengthened its position in the region, consolidating its governance in the northeastern state. With this dual victory, the party has reinforced its national dominance while also setting the stage for policy continuity and political consolidation under Modi’s leadership.
