Sri Lankan opposition leader Sajith Premadasa has extended his congratulations to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi following what he described as a “resounding victory” in Bihar. The message was shared late on 14 November through Premadasa’s verified social media account.
In his post, Premadasa praised Modi’s “strong leadership,” crediting him with pioneering “gigantic development efforts” that he said were fostering prosperity for the “aspirational people of Magadha,” a historic region that includes much of present-day Bihar.
The congratulatory note comes amid continued regional political engagement between Sri Lanka and India, where leaders often publicly acknowledge each other’s electoral successes and policy initiatives.
While detailed official results of the Bihar contest were not referenced in the post, Premadasa’s statement reflects the significance of Bihar’s political landscape in Indian national politics and the broader South Asian region.
