After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the North-Eastern state elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a victory speech, in which he responded to the opposition's controversial slogan 'Mar Ja Modi' (meaning 'Kill Modi') by saying that the people of India were saying 'Mat Ja Modi' (meaning 'Don't go Modi').

The BJP won a significant victory in the North-Eastern state elections, winning a majority of the seats in Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh. The opposition parties had been critical of the BJP's policies and had used the 'Mar Ja Modi' slogan in their election campaign.

Addressing a gathering of BJP workers in New Delhi, PM Modi said, "The opposition parties were saying 'Mar Ja Modi,' but the people of India were saying 'Mat Ja Modi.' They have shown their faith in the BJP and have rejected the negative politics of the opposition."

PM Modi also thanked the people of the North-Eastern states for their support and said that the BJP was committed to the development of the region. He said that the BJP would work towards fulfilling the aspirations of the people and bringing about positive changes in the region.

The Prime Minister's victory speech was well-received by the BJP workers, who cheered and applauded his remarks. The opposition parties, however, criticized PM Modi's remarks and said that he was trying to divert attention from the real issues.

The opposition leaders said that the 'Mar Ja Modi' slogan was used by a small group of people and did not represent the views of the entire opposition. They also accused the BJP of using the slogan to polarize the voters and gain sympathy.

The BJP, on the other hand, denied the allegations and said that the opposition parties were trying to create a controversy. The party's leaders said that the slogan was part of the opposition's negative campaign and that the people of India had rejected it.

Overall, the BJP's victory in the North-Eastern state elections is a significant boost for the party, which has been facing criticism over its policies and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. PM Modi's victory speech was seen as an attempt to rally the party workers and boost morale ahead of the upcoming state and national elections.
