This election was a clear vote for the BJP, with genuine voters decisively rejecting the TMC.
Now, the TMC and a section of the media are attempting to attribute the BJP’s victory to SIR. But the data tells a very different story.
Of the 207 seats won by the BJP, the victory margin in more than 170 seats exceeded the total non-ASD deletions. In over 130 seats, the winning margin was greater than 20,000 votes, hardly the outcome of any marginal adjustment.
The verdict cuts across social and regional lines:
- The BJP has won 12 seats with more than 40% Muslim population, including 4 where the Muslim population exceeds 50%. All of these are from the Maldah and Murshidabad regions.
- In the Kolkata Urban Area, the BJP has won 35 out of 45 seats, up from just 1 in 2021 and 4 in 2024. Within the KMC region, the BJP has secured 10 out of 16 seats, compared to 0 in 2021 and 2 in 2024.

This is not a narrow or manufactured mandate, it is broad-based, emphatic, and rooted in voter conviction across regions.
The road to 2029 runs through West Bengal.
Watch how brutally the passengers trolled Dipke when he was getting detained
He must have expected the public to cheer for him, but they cheered for delhi police..😂
Understand how propaganda works.
-In the afternoon, @abpanandatv ran fake news claiming that BJP got 909 votes at a booth where there were only 772 registered voters.
-Abhishek Banerjee picked it up.
-Kejriwal and all the other clowns started outrage.
When the facts were checked, it turned out that the booth had 1109 votes.
ABP apologised, but by then, the damage was done.
The fake news is now viral everywhere, from X to Facebook to Instagram. People will remember the fake news, but hardly anyone will see the correction.
This is how propaganda works.
You spread misinformation, let the ecosystem amplify it, issue an apology when caught, and move on.
I don't believe this was a simple mistake by ABP. It looks like a deliberate hit job to create outrage and give the Congress ecosystem more ammunition to attack the Election Commission.
The damage is already done.
Let’s assume that, at this moment, even a single vote in the Rajya Sabha is extremely important.
But what is the price of that one vote?
₹2,30,000 every month?
A Rajya Sabha MP gets ₹2,30,000 a month combining salary, constituency allowance and office allowance:
Salary — ₹1,00,000
Constituency Allowance — ₹70,000
Office Expense Allowance — ₹60,000
And of course, there are several other benefits on top of this. ₹2,30,000.
The idea, surely, is not that this money is paid simply to turn up in Parliament and press YES or NO on a particular bill.
It is rather unsettling to think that someone could receive this amount every single month essentially while waiting for the occasional moment when their vote is needed to support a Bill.
And, presumably, there would be plenty of other ways in which the party would expect that political capital to be used.
People expect more.
They expect their MP to speak against fake news, defend the party’s narrative, speak up for nationalists on issues that matter to the country, and most importantly—be present on the ground.
The expectations are even higher when the MP is a celebrity.
During Durga Puja and Kali Puja, being seen alongside BJP workers in Bengal, among ordinary people, out there in the field—that too is a part of political responsibility.
I hope she will turn up at a few puja pandals without charging an appearance fee.
Because the people who put up the flags, paint the walls and work on the ground deserve that little bit of acknowledgement too.
They like seeing their leaders among them.
Otherwise, the calculation becomes rather strange:
₹2,30,000 + privileges.
And in return—
just one “AYE”?
शहीद भगत सिंह को उनकी जयंती पर कोटि-कोटि नमन।
अपने अदम्य साहस और शौर्य से उन्होंने आजादी के आंदोलन को नई धार दी।
राष्ट्र के सम्मान के लिए सर्वस्व न्योछावर करने का उनका जज्बा भारत के नौजवानों की हिम्मत और हौसले का प्रतीक है।
বোঝা গেলো? পার্থক্যটা!
পার্থক্য ইচ্ছাশক্তির, পার্থক্য সংকল্পের, পার্থক্য মানুষের উন্নয়নের চিন্তায়। যা মমতা ব্যানার্জীর সরকার বিগত ১৫ বছর ধরে করেননি। শুধু ভাইদের লুটরাজ চালাতে মদত দিয়েছেন।
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव शुभकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
समस्त देशवासियों को गणेश चतुर्थी के पावन पर्व की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।
विघ्नहर्ता भगवान श्री गणेश से प्रार्थना है कि उनकी कृपा सभी पर बनी रहे और प्रत्येक परिवार में सुख, शांति एवं समृद्धि का वास हो।
गणपति बप्पा मोरया!
Imagine having the privilege of representing Indian Bengali cinema abroad.
But Bengali Actor Biswajit Chakraborty, when he reached Bangladesh, & when the media asked about his visit, his grand cultural mission is apparently: “I came here to eat beef.”
Rabindranath Tagore, Satyajit Ray, Bankim Chandra, Bengali literature, music, art, shared history—so many things Bengal could be known for.
But no. Beef tourism was apparently the cultural exchange we were waiting for. 😂
What an extraordinary ambassador of Bengali culture. Shameful
WB CM Suvendu Adhikari slams ABP group again.
"You blame BJP. You blame ABVP. You blame me. But how dare you write 'Saffron hooliganism'?"
"Do you even know what Saffron means?"
"It is the color of Swamiji,Swami Pranabananda".
"You'll get reply. You can't do anything".
পাঁচশো সাতাশটি তরতাজা প্রাণের বিনিময়ে যে যুদ্ধে জয় এসেছিল, দর্প হয়েছিল সদ্য পরমানু শক্তিধর দেশের তখমা পাওয়া পাকিস্তানের ; আজ তার সাতাশ বছর পূর্তি।
সেই নির্ভিক বীর বলিদানীদের স্মরন করে সকল দেশবাসীকে জানাই কার্গিল বিজয় দিবসের শুভেচ্ছা ...
জয় হো......

Mamata Banerjee lost her temperament & slapped her own party worker, while he was trying to control the crowd & make way for her. From her actions we can understand how much frustrated she is.
Well done 👏 Debjit Sarkar, BJP Leader
Anyone speaks disrespectfully about Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, silence them with such a fitting response and shut them down.
जब भी राष्ट्रभक्ति, साहस और कर्तव्य के सर्वोच्च प्रतिमानों की चर्चा होगी, कारगिल विजय के अमर नायक, 'परमवीर चक्र' से अलंकृत कैप्टन विक्रम बत्रा का नाम गर्व के साथ स्मरण किया जाएगा।
माँ भारती के वीर सपूत का जीवन और सर्वोच्च बलिदान प्रत्येक भारतीय को 'राष्ट्र प्रथम' के भाव के साथ जीने की प्रेरणा देता है।
आज उनके बलिदान दिवस पर कृतज्ञ राष्ट्र की ओर से विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि।
On the auspicious occasion of the 125th Birth Anniversary of Bharat Mata's brave Son; visionary Statesman and Nationalist; Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, I pay my humble tributes.
His unwavering commitment to national unity and public service will always remain an inspiration.
