Kudos to the BJP. Kudos to UDF. Kudos to Vijay.
And a special mention to Prashant Kishore.
West Bengal has indeed turned, it marks a serious milestone in the Modi Shah political journey. It reinforces Narendra Modi’s enduring grip over national sentiment and underlines Amit Shah’s electoral machinery.
At the same time, United Democratic Front’s comfortable victory in Kerala should not go unnoticed. 99 seats is a solid, decisive mandate.
And then there is Vijay.
No traditional political structure. No visible institutional backing. No central levers of power.
Just raw, unfiltered public traction.
Call it a wave, call it a surge, call it instinctive public alignment. Whatever the label, it is hard to ignore. In a system where victories are often attributed to strategy, alliances, or state power, this stands out for its simplicity.
More significantly, this election has delivered outcomes that would have seemed improbable not too long ago.
Mamata Banerjee lost to BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari in Bhabanipur constituency. M. K. Stalin lost to TVK’s VS Babu in Kolathur constituency. Gaurav Gogoi lost in Jorhat constituency to BJP’s Hitendranath Goswami.
That is not just a result. That is a pattern shift.
“Vijay tsunami” will be studied, debated, and perhaps even respected in hindsight.
