This is not a defensive campaign — Abhishek Banerjee is going on the offensive from Medinipur, armed with real data and real delivery. #AbarJitbeBangla
This is precisely why judicial authority was diluted and the Chief Justice of India was removed from the CEC selection panel. If this trajectory continues, it won’t be long before Supreme Court judgments appear politically stamped.
Those sworn to protect the Constitution are now chipping away at its very foundations to serve narrow political ends. A BETRAYAL OF BOTH DUTY AND DEMOCRACY.
What a troubling decline for our institutions!
BJP is the party of goons and thugs, proven once again! Stone-pelting, bottle attack on Smt. @DrShashiPanja's house in Girish Park. Police injured, Minister targeted. This is the real face of @BJP4India, when they can’t win with votes, they attack with stones.
Shameful!
I am pleased to announce that our government intends to constitute soon five new Cultural and Development Boards for the Munda (ST), Kora (ST), Dom (SC), Kumbhakar (OBC) and Sadgope (OBC) communities.
These communities are integral to the vibrant fabric of Bengal. My heartiest congratulations to all of them.
These boards will protect their unique languages and traditions while ensuring better education, healthcare, and jobs. They will safeguard customary rights and bring further socio-economic growth.
Since 2013, we have established many such boards for our weaker communities, ensuring their all-round development.
Our commitment to Ma, Mati, Manush means, we remain dedicated to ensuring no community is left behind. Our goal is simple: to bring a smile to every face through inclusive progress and unwavering support.
Jai Bangla!

পুণ্য হউক, পুণ্য হউক, পুণ্য হউক হে ভগবান॥”
I extend my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to people across the world who cherish and celebrate their mother tongues with pride. Yesterday, on the solemn occasion of Bhasha Dibas, at the Bhasha Smritistambha at Deshapriya Park, I offered floral tributes to the brave souls whose sacrifice ensured that we may speak our mother tongue without fear. Their martyrdom transformed language into a symbol of democratic assertion and cultural self-respect.
I was also privileged to honour eminent personalities from diverse walks of life with the Banga Bibhushan and Banga Bhushan award. Their presence, and the songs and poetry that filled the air, elevated the spirit of the observance into a celebration of Bengal’s creative genius. I was also pleased to confer the Banga Bhushan honour upon Star Jalsha and Zee Bangla in recognition of their significant contribution to Bengal’s cultural landscape.
Bengal, and India, are lands of many languages and cultures. As we love Bangla with devotion, we equally respect Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Kurukh, Kurmali, Rajbanshi, Santali, Kamtapuri, Sadri and every other language spoken across our soil. Each language carries within it the history, memory and aspirations of its people. This unity in diversity is our greatest strength.
It pains me deeply that divisive forces are attempting to malign and target those who speak Bangla, labelling them as “Ghuspaithiya”, subjecting them to humiliation and persecution. Such actions strike at the very heart of constitutional values. We shall never allow Bengal’s culture, heritage or identity to be undermined by intolerance or narrow-minded politics.
Let 21st February renew our collective pledge that no communal or divisive force shall fracture Bengal’s harmony; that no attempt to erode our linguistic pride shall succeed; and that we shall uphold the inclusive and secular ethos that defines us. The glory our mother tongue has bestowed upon us before the world is a legacy we are duty-bound to protect.
Jai Hind. Joy Bangla.
The shirtless protest by members of the Indian Youth Congress at the AI Summit reflects poor judgment. At a forum attended by international leaders and global business figures, such conduct sends the wrong message about our national priorities.
Democracy guarantees the right to protest but it also demands responsibility. When representing India before the world, partisan theatrics must give way to maturity and restraint.
Political differences can be fought relentlessly but never at the expense of the nation’s honour and dignity.

Ah, the beauty of two Indias- in one, a comedian is questioned for talking about the ‘TWO INDIA’ divide. In the other, the same debate becomes the perfect PR for a tour announcement. Democracy does have a sense of humour. Wishing you house full shows and a smashing tour ahead @thevirdas !
