<h1>Democratic mandate signals renewed political legitimacy and commitment to public welfare and anti corruption and security.</h1> The Governor said the large electoral mandate reflects public confidence and that free and fair polls and record turnout will drive welfare-focused governance. He emphasised empowerment of youth, women and marginalised groups and cited welfare schemes (Maiyan Samman Yojna, Abua Awas). Reporting on governance priorities, he described eradication of corruption as a major problem, noting arrests of public servants, and summarised counterinsurgency actions including arrests, surrenders and deaths of Naxalite operatives.
