On the auspicious occasion of Eid, I extend my heartfelt greetings to everyone and express my gratitude to all those who gathered at Red Road to celebrate this festival in a spirit of peace and brotherhood. I pray that your Roza is accepted and that the values of compassion and unity continue to guide us.
Eid reminds us of the enduring principles of patience, love, and togetherness that define our shared humanity. Bengal has always upheld this ethos, where communities come together to celebrate each other’s traditions, reinforcing a culture of mutual respect and harmony.
At a time when divisive forces seek to pit one against another, we must remain united. India belongs equally to all its people, and its strength lies in its diversity. I am confident that the people of Bengal will continue to reject hatred and stand in defence of our collective spirit. May peace, good health, and prosperity be with all.
Eid Mubarak.
He came. He saw. He left. That, in its entirety, is the sum total of Mr. Vanish Kumar's much-hyped Bengal visit. The CEC had no answers to the inconvenient questions surrounding the unfair and unlawful deletion of genuine voters from the final electoral rolls, nor could he clarify the fate of the 60 lakh voters arbitrarily placed “under adjudication.” He failed to provide any meaningful recourse or even outline a clear roadmap regarding the publication of supplementary lists and the inclusion of genuine citizens who have been wrongfully excluded. But as history has always shown, no one remains above the Constitution forever.
But those who believe themselves to be above the Constitution inevitably face the long arm of the law. Today, expressing clear displeasure over the functioning of the Election Commission, the Supreme Court of India has issued decisive directions that Appellate Tribunals be constituted, comprising former Chief Justices of High Courts and former High Court judges, to hear appeals against exclusions; supplementary list be appended to the final voter list published on 28 February 2026; and technical disruptions in the ECI portal prior to March 7, 2026 be rectified immediately.
This is nothing short of a stinging rebuke to the Bangla-Birodhi BJP-ECI nexus and a moral victory for the Maa, Mati, Manush of Bengal. In light of these landmark developments, I placed before Smt. Mamata Banerjee our humble appeal to conclude the dharna at Dharmatala, which she graciously accepted. But this is not the end. It is only the beginning. For the next 50 days, we will continue this battle on the streets, in the courts, in the Parliament, and among the people until the Delhi zamindars are uprooted from every single booth in Bengal and thrown out with precisely the contempt and fury they have so thoroughly earned.
Under the compassionate and resolute leadership of Smt. @MamataOfficial, a new dawn of hope and dignity has blossomed for Bengal’s Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste communities.
From a historic increase in the Backward Classes Welfare budget to the Jai Johar and Taposili Bandhu pension schemes that bring security, respect, and a smile to our tribal elders, and the inspiring empowerment of tribal women through thriving Self-Help Groups, our Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkaar has nurtured grassroots development that reaches every corner and every heart in Bengal.
Our commitment to the welfare of the people continues to translate policy vision into tangible development, building a Bengal where our Dalit and Adivasi brothers and sisters advance with dignity, opportunity, security, and shared prosperity.
PEOPLE of WEST BENGAL

When the entire establishment lines up against Bengal, Bengal stands stronger.
Bring it on!

Mahatma Gandhi used to say that the moral worth of a society is revealed in the way it stands beside its most vulnerable.
That principle found clear affirmation in Nandigram, where twenty-three residents referred through Sebaashray underwent free cataract surgeries at Kalyani Eye Care, seventeen identified at Camp 1 and six at Camp 2.
For many, failing vision had meant restricted movement, reduced work, and a gradual withdrawal from daily life. This was not merely a medical procedure; it was the restoration of independence, confidence, and dignity. Healthcare cannot operate in fragments. It cannot stop at diagnosis or end with an announcement. It must guide a person from need to relief, from identification to full recovery.
Sebaashray was conceived with that continuity at its core, so that no citizen remains suspended between illness and care. That responsibility endures, and we remain committed to upholding it with seriousness and resolve.
Sebaashray 2 has been about continuity, ensuring that care does not end at the camp, but moves forward with those who need it.
Through this effort, senior citizens identified at our camps were referred for cataract surgeries and received timely care at trusted institutions.
At Renuka Eye Institute, nine elderly residents referred from the Diamond Harbour camp underwent successful cataract surgeries. Similarly, eighteen people referred from the Bishnupur camp received treatment at Drishti Eye Hospital.
For many of them, this meant regaining clear vision after years, seeing their families distinctly again, moving about independently, and returning to everyday life with renewed confidence.
Good health for every person remains our responsibility.
আজ প্রজাতন্ত্র দিবস উদযাপনের দিনে দেশবাসী হিসেবে প্রতিজ্ঞাবদ্ধ হও
যারা এই দেশের প্রাকৃতিক সম্পদ লুণ্ঠন করে,
যারা দেশের সীমান্ত রক্ষা করতে ব্যর্থ,
এবং যারা ধর্মের নামে দেশের মানুষের মধ্যে বিভাজন সৃষ্টি করতে চায়—
তাদের গণতান্ত্রিক উপায়ে বিতাড়িত করাই হোক আমাদের অঙ্গীকার

Sebaashray represents a solemn and unflinching commitment to the health, dignity, and well-being of every resident of Diamond Harbour. In Satgachia, we have had the privilege of providing free spectacles to 2,248 individuals, restoring not merely their vision but also their confidence, independence, and hope for the future.
Eyes are far more than instruments of sight, they are windows to opportunity, clarity, and a brighter tomorrow. Through this initiative, we empower our people to embrace life with renewed optimism and self-respect.
Sebaashray remains steadfast in its mission to deliver accessible, compassionate, and meaningful healthcare to every citizen in need, ensuring that no one is left behind.
On National Girl Child Day, I extend my heartiest love and blessings to every daughter of Bengal and India. They are the future architects of our society.
In Bengal, we don't celebrate the girl child merely on one day; we celebrate her and empower her every single day of the year, at all crossroads of her life. From her birth to her education and self-reliance, at every single turn, our government stands by her as a supportive hand-holder.
This journey begins with Kanyashree, our globally acclaimed and awarded pioneer initiative to promote girls' education and well-being by discouraging their unhealthy early marriage. 1 crore girls over the years have been financially supported by us in this scheme to retain girls in formal educational institutions. Another related scheme, Sabooj Sathi, eases the child's mobility and movement to schools by grant of a bicycle to each student. She also gets support from schemes like Shikshashree, Aikyashree, Medhashree, Taruner Swapna, in addition to getting free textbooks, school uniform, shoes, midday meals, etc as further assistance from our government in her journey along the path of education.
When the girl finally marries, she gets one-time financial assistance under our Rupashree scheme. Then, an adult senior woman is enrolled in the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, which now provides financial independence to 2.21 crore women of Bengal who get direct monthly cash transfer from state government. As the prime anchor of the household, she also gets Swasthya Sathi card, which gives her and her family assured health insurance coverage @ Rs 5 lakh per year.
Today, Bengal’s daughters are excelling in every field, from the laboratories of science to the podiums of international sports. We reaffirm our pledge to provide them with an environment where they can breathe freely, learn fearlessly, and lead boldly.
Jai Hind! Jai Bangla!
On the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, I bow in reverence to one of India’s greatest sons, a fearless patriot whose life was an unbroken pledge to freedom, dignity and national self-respect.
Netaji's call to action awakened a nation from hesitation to courage, from submission to self-belief. In every chapter of his extraordinary life, he reminded us that liberty is not gifted, it is earned through sacrifice, discipline and an unshakeable commitment to justice.
Today, as we remember him, we renew our pledge to uphold the values he lived for. Unity. Courage. Selfless service to the people. His ideals remain our compass and his dream of a strong, self-reliant and dignified India remains our collective responsibility.
Jai Hind.
We wholeheartedly welcome the landmark direction of the Supreme Court to the Election Commission. This much-needed intervention has dealt a decisive blow to the CRUEL, POLITICALLY MOTIVATED and deeply UNJUST SIR process.
The SC has rightly ordered that the names of those arbitrarily slapped with the vague, sinister label of “Logical Discrepancy” must be publicly published. The BJP-ECI combine has been exposed for the BANGLA-BIRODHI ZAMINDARS they are.
It has been clearly directed that the list of unmapped voters must be published, BLA-IIs allowed to attend hearings, hearing venues significantly increased, Madhyamik admit cards accepted as valid ID, and written receipts issued to every summoned voter.
This is a judicial slap across the face of the Election Commission, and the people of Bengal will deliver an even sharper democratic slap to the BJP at the ballot box.

Today, Smt. @MamataOfficial laid the foundation stone for the Mahakal Mahatirtha Temple at Matigara in Siliguri.
From Jagannath Dham to Durga Angan, Didi’s contributions to strengthening Bengal’s cultural economy are undeniable.
This sacred new landmark will stand for generations as a symbol of Bengal’s enduring faith, heritage, and civilisational pride.
Sincere congratulations to Justice Shri Sujoy Paul on his being sworn in as the Hon'ble Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court.
I welcome Justice Paul to this elevated seat of justice.
Honourable CM @MamataOfficial has allegedly that the @BJP4India is conspiring to delete the names of legitimate voters through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, after nearly 4000 Form 7 applications were recovered from the vehicle of a @BJP4Bengal leader in Bankura.
