Bengal Elections: 2021 vs 2026

After winning the 2021 polls, when Mamata Banerjee and her TMC launched widespread attacks on Hindus, leading nationalist voices criticised Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for not dismissing Begum and immediately imposing President's Rule in Bengal.

Some of us said that would be counter productive because of two reasons. 1. The system led by the Supreme Court would reinstate her in a week or less. The BJP's image would then be in the gutter. 2. Even if the Bengali Hindu voter was fed up of Mamata Begum, Hindus being Hindus are easily prone to the Sympathy Syndrome. Dismissing the TMC Govt would lead to a huge sympathy wave for Begum, with even nationalists accusing Modi and Amit Shah of dismissing a woman CM in a sneaky manner

But the environment was charged in the wake of the slaughter of BJP cadres. Many leading Hindu voices called us Andh Bhakts, Modi slaves and what not. They shot back: "Why is the BJP not protecting its workers who risked their lives by campaigning for it? BJP is a party of cowards that betrays its own cadres. Unlike you, our support is not blind. We will hold the BJP accountable for ditching Hindus." Etc. Etc.

After the 2021 elections, Modi and Amit Shah realised there was no way to beat Mamata because she had the support of millions of illegal Bangladeshis. The centre had to first delink these illegal voters from the electoral system via SIR. That was done with painstaking effort with the help of the Supreme Court which came on board because Bengal's survival was at stake. If there was any Chanakya Neeti involved, we will never know.

For 5 years, Modi and Amit Shah gave Begum a long rope. Believing she was untouchable, she became more arrogant. Like Rasputin, her crimes became more brazen. Her protege, the Muslim mayor of Kolkata, went to the extent of publicly saying that his target was the 100% Islamisation of Bengal.

It was the SIR exercise, during which neutral officers, including a woman, were attacked by a violent mob led by a Muslim TMC leader, that finally opened the eyes of the sleeping, Sympathy Syndrome prone Hindus. SIR showed them that Bengal under Begum was no longer a normal state but a proto Islamic country, where Bangladeshis ran amok.

It was a long chain of decisions and actions that rescued Bengal from the mouth of jehad. Had Modi and Amit Shah listened to Twitter in 2021, today Bengal would be seeing a repeat of the post poll violence - only on a larger scale.

It's unfortunate that so many Hindutva supporters are ever ready to roast the BJP for its apparent omissions and commissions. In contrast, not a single Christian or Muslim ditches the Thugbandhan no matter how corrupt these parties are.

So here's my advice to Hindus: be only as tolerant as Christians and Muslims. Be only as peaceful as them. Do not link your vote to development or social issues. Your vote should be on the basis of your religion. Your vote should only go to the BJP. Because the only thing standing between India and chaos is the BJP.

This “family” has the audacity to expect the daughter-in-law to obey whatever the patriarch wants her to do . As if, it’s only her duty to sacrifice in order hold the family together.

The mother-in-law actually laughed while his final rites were being performed.

The father-in-law was already plotting how to seize control of nephews party turning his death into an opportunity for power.

And the sister-in-law… her body language couldn’t have been clearer . She was glad he was gone, almost relieved to have him out of her path.

All of them vultures .

Anything else the journalists or anyone else says is balderdash,

Dada is looking and managing even from Up above . #MissYouAjitDada

India should never ever buy F-35s. And it must reduce its arms dependence on the US.

In fact, India must use its media to propogate how easy F-16s were to be shot down during Sindoor and Balakot, even by a MIG-21.

The propaganda must be done so much that for the next three generations, Indians must look down on American arms.

This must be the lesson for the US arms lobby rewarding Pakistan using their state, and for Trump announcing the ceasefire before India like its his achievement.

Just think about this, it is the US that has approached India on behalf of Pakistan for a ceasefire.

India's objective was already achieved on May 7th with the intensive strikes against terrorists killing 70+ and flattening many of their pads. That's the message India wanted to give.

And delivered.

It is due to Pakistan's escalation that India had to retaliate for two more days. Everyday India gave an off-ramp for Pak which it didn't take.

But once India struck their bases hard and destroyed air defences, Pakistan has gone crying to the US to help it stop India.

This must have been done by Pakistan prostituting itself again in US interests for sure, by leaving the bed of China for time being.

And the US steps in, asks India to accept Pak's ceasefire which anyway India wants. And once we agree, it acts like it is the peace broker.

Just imgine if there was just 1 hour for PM Modi to appear on TV and announce the ceasefire himself.

Telling us how badly Pak has been hit, and how India doesn't want this to spiral out, affecting us in the long term. And how the main objectives of imposing serious costs on Pakistan and teaching them a lesson was met.

But the US, especially Trump, did not give the opportunity at all. This is nothing but shameless, courtesyless behavior.

This is a direct snub to India. And I think India must take actions to ensure the US arms lobby that props up Pak pays.

In fact, I really feel India must do just one more strike on Pak for yesterday's ceasefire violations and throw an egg on Trump's face while declaring ceasefire ourselves after the strike.

#PoshanTracker has transformed nutrition delivery—real-time monitoring, improved outreach, and empowered Anganwadi services. A milestone in building a healthier, nourished India!

#SahiPoshanDeshRoshan #PoshanPakhwada2025 #DigitalIndia

[Smriti Z Irani @smritiirani]

Everything begins with a vision.
When the Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi envisioned digitally connecting every Anganwadi and beneficiary, it wasn’t just a call for technological innovation—it was a call to reimagine service delivery for the most vulnerable. That vision became the foundation of the Poshan Tracker.

What began in 2019 as a bold idea matured into a nationwide digital platform under the leadership of Secretary Indevar Pandey, transforming how nutrition services are monitored and delivered at the grassroots.

Today, as the Poshan Tracker receives national recognition, it stands as a testament to what strategic foresight, administrative will, and collaborative partnerships can achieve.

Gratitude to Team BMGF for their partnership, and to former Additional Secretary Aditi Das Raut, whose belief in the idea and commitment to its execution were instrumental in scaling it across the country.

Above all, we remain deeply thankful to the Prime Minister for championing a governance model that empowers Anganwadi workers, uplifts mothers, and ensures no child is left behind.

The Lancet, an esteemed peer-reviewed journal has featured an insightful article on India’s Poshan Tracker - an innovative, indigenous technological tool developed to be the largest mobile-based nutrition surveillance system in the world. https://t.co/0paT1VUyHN

Poshan Tracker is reshaping nutrition programs by enabling real-time monitoring, thereby enhancing decision-making and bolstering accountability. The Lancet’s article highlights Poshan Tracker’s instrumental role in advancing a data-driven revolution in nutrition service delivery:

🏡 Anganwadi Centres operational for more than 15 days/month: Skyrocketed from 35% in July 2022 to 89% in Sep 2023.

👩‍👧‍👦 Beneficiaries receiving supplementary food: Jumped from 4.1 million to 20.9 million in the same period.

🚸Children’s growth monitoring at AWCs: Increased from 40.1 million to 83.55 million, covering 94% of registered children.

The Lancet article serves as a compelling testimony to Poshan Tracker’s pivotal role in transforming nutrition delivery services, marking a vital stride in India’s spirited fight against malnutrition.

The #PoshanTracker is a game-changing portal that unlocks a new era of nutrition monitoring in India. 📲🍎

With its precision and targeted assistance to children and pregnant women, it is paving the way for a #SuposhitBharat.

[Smriti Irani Office @SmritiIraniOffc]

Minister @smritiirani in an engaging discussion with Mr. @BillGates.

Deliberations were held on creative strategies to maximize the impact of Poshan Abhiyaan, ensuring optimal nutrition for our children & realising PM @NarendraModi ji’s vision of a Suposhit Bharat.

[Smriti Z Irani @smritiirani]

Today, along-with @BillGates and @CB_CII, we proudly unveiled the Logo and Website of the 'Alliance for Global Good - Gender Equity and Equality' in New Delhi. With this, we inch one step closer to achieving Global Goals set during India’s G20 presidency - ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’.

Inspired by Lord Ganesha’s as the harbinger of blessings for intellectual endeavours & earthbound enterprises ; the logo is the symbolic torchbearer of gender equity and equality.

Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, anchored by @FollowCII's Centre for Women Leadership, with @wef as a 'Network Partner' and @investindia as an 'Institutional Partner,' this is an august preface to accomplishments in SDG-aligned global gender equality. In line with PM @narendramodi ji’s vision, I am confident that such alliances have positioned India as the true architect of the ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’.

[Smriti Irani Office @SmritiIraniOffc]

Today, the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the Ministry of Ayush formalised their commitment to ‘Suposhit Bharat’ through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

[Sarbananda Sonowal @sarbanandsonwal]

Glad to join Hon'ble Union Minister Smt @smritiirani ji for the MoU signing of @moayush and @MinistryWCD for Joint Public Health Initiative for "Anaemia control among adolescent girls through Ayurveda interventions under Mission Utkarsh" in New Delhi.

[Smriti Z Irani @smritiirani]

Signed a historic MoU today between the @MinistryWCD and the @moayush, with the goal of enhancing the nutrition of 94,000 adolescent girls in Utkarsh districts.

This visionary initiative, championed by PM @narendramodi ji, bridges traditional and modern medicine. The noteworthy collaboration between ICMR and Ayush marks a crucial step in advancing global healthcare.

Spanning 10,000 Anganwadi Centres across five districts, the project fosters collaborative efforts led by district officials, CDPOs and Anganwadi Workers. This partnership aligns with Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, addressing malnutrition through a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach.

The integration of Ayush systems, supported by @ICMRDELHI evidence, provides a cost-effective solution to tackle anaemia, rendering it a globally significant initiative.
Together, we strive for a healthier future.
