Today at Kalighat, we observed Bijoya Sammilani with the wholehearted participation of party leaders, workers, members of the state administration, the media fraternity, celebrated filmstars, singers, and puja organisers. Though Durga Puja has drawn to a close, its radiant message of the strength of unity, the joy of togetherness, and the enduring bond among people continues to resonate.
In the warm and intimate atmosphere of todayâs gathering, our interactions further reinforced this spirit of solidarity and shared purpose. Your support and trust remain a constant source of inspiration and motivation as we move forward with determination.
On this joyous occasion, I extend my heartfelt greetings to one and all. May Maa Durgaâs blessings guide and illuminate every step of our journey.
With tearful eyes and heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Maa Durga. Yet, Dashami rekindles within us the hope of her return, bringing renewed light and strength.
Today, I had the privilege of meeting our dedicated leaders and party workers, who devote themselves tirelessly, throughout the year, to the holistic development of the people of Bengal. I also took the opportunity to connect with members of the state administration and the media fraternity during the occasion. It was deeply moving to connect with them, inquire after their well-being, and exchange tokens of appreciation at our Bijoya Sammilani.
It is, however, deeply regrettable that while the people of Bengal sought to conclude their most cherished festival in joy, the Bangla-Birodhi Zamindars weaponised the DVC by releasing 1,50,000 cusecs of water from the Maithon and Panchet dams, creating a man-made flood with the intent to harm the state.
Those who believe they can drown the spirit of Bengal are gravely mistaken. With Maa Durgaâs blessings and the strength of our resilient people, it is they, not the people of Bengal, who shall face a solemn Bishorjon in 2026.
Braving waist-deep floodwaters, our Banarhat Block President, Sandip Chetri, displayed extraordinary courage and selflessness, placing himself at risk to personally lead rescue and relief operations.
By reaching out to affected families, coordinating immediate assistance, and ensuring help reached those in need, he exemplified the spirit of committed leadership and solidarity with the people during this unprecedented crisis.
With Smt. @MamataOfficial in attendance, the Durga Puja Carnival once again transformed Red Road into a vibrant canvas of colour, music, and tradition.
The dazzling processions and creative expressions celebrated not only the glory of the Goddess but also Bengalâs cultural soul, uniting people in joy and pride.
