BARBARIC. MONSTROUS. INHUMANE.
This is the JUNGLE RAJ that the @BJP4India has unleashed in Bengal!
In a shocking act of political violence, Sandip Ghosh (Karna) was BRUTALLY ASSAULTED by @BJP4Bengal-backed miscreants and then forced to jump from the third floor of a building. He is now battling for his life with a brain haemorrhage, while those responsible continue to roam free.
The violence did not stop there. In Katwa, BJP-backed goons vandalised and destroyed our party offices, further exposing their politics of intimidation & terror.
These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a disturbing pattern of organised political violence that is pushing Bengal towards lawlessness.
Every such attack raises serious questions about the collapse of law & order under the present administration. WHEN PERPETRATORS ACT WITH SUCH BRAZENNESS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND ESCAPE ACCOUNTABILITY, IT REFLECTS A DANGEROUS FAILURE OF GOVERNANCE.
A Govt that cannot protect its citizens, curb political violence, or uphold the rule of law has FAILED in its most basic duty!
Thank you, Rahul ji, for your concern and constant support. We stand united and resolute in our fight to protect the soul of India, defend its democratic institutions and uphold the values enshrined in our Constitution.
Last year, I travelled across five countries representing India as part of the all-party delegation for Operation Sindoor. I defended my country and stood united against terrorism.
Today, I stand as a victim of political violence and state sponsored terrorism unleashed by those who claim to be the guardians of nationalism.
This is the reality of today’s BJP. If you support them, you are a patriot. If you question them, you become a target. If you stand with them, you are celebrated. If you stand against them, they try to silence you.
I would rather face intimidation while defending democracy than enjoy comfort by surrendering my principles.
Power is temporary. The will of the people is permanent. I will bow only before the people, never before the people in power.
We will continue our fight against those who seek to weaken democracy and divide our nation. INDIA STANDS UNITED and together, we will ensure that the politics of fear, hatred, violence and intimidation is defeated, and that the voice of the people prevails.
To every soldier of the Trinamool Congress family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage, resilience, and relentless fight for justice. Despite an extremely difficult and compromised election, you never gave up hope.
Our candidates and counting agents were forcibly removed in several places, while the counting process was effectively controlled by Central Government employees. After the results, Bengal witnessed shocking post-poll violence despite repeated promises of protection by the Centre. Central forces remained mute spectators as our workers, offices, and homes were attacked and set ablaze.
My deepest condolences to the families of those we lost in this struggle. Bengal has suffered immensely over the past few days, and such scenes are against the very spirit of our land.
But this fight is far from over. We will challenge every illegality, manipulation, and abuse of power through every constitutional and legal avenue available to us. We have full faith in the Hon’ble Supreme Court and in the democratic institutions of this country. In more than 100 seats, our candidates and counting agents were forcibly removed, serious irregularities were reported, and the mandate of the people was undermined. The truth cannot be buried forever, and every injustice faced by the people of Bengal will be raised with strength and determination.
The people of Bengal know who stood beside them through every hardship, and we must continue to do so with patience, unity, and determination. Truth cannot be suppressed forever. We will return stronger.
Stay united. Stay on the ground. Continue serving the people with courage, discipline, and positivity. Our fight will continue with unwavering determination and faith in democracy.
Media will show you BJP winning elections by the 3rd round of the 18 rounds counting but it wont show you this! What happened to your post poll violence stories in Bengal? Bikau Saare!
Students of University of Calcutta were brutally assaulted by BJP-backed miscreants — a deeply disturbing attack on democracy, education, and the voice of Bengal’s youth.
The Prime Minister and the Home Minister speak endlessly about Nari Shakti. They posture on women’s empowerment and perform outrage for the cameras.
But their conduct tells a different story. The Prime Minister publicly mocks a three-time elected woman Chief Minister with “Didi O Didi,” delivered with visible condescension. The Home Minister echoes it with “Ei Didi,” reducing a respected leader to a taunt.
This is the “Poriborton” the BJP seeks to import into Bengal from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It is not change, it is a regression in values. An insult to Bengal. An insult to every woman in this state and across the country.
On 4th May, the people of Bengal will deliver a verdict that cuts through this hypocrisy once and for all. And that response will be decisive enough to remind these ZAMINDARS that respect for women is not a slogan, it is a standard!
It is deeply unfortunate that the Prime Minister chose to mislead the nation rather than address it honestly.
Let me put this on record. Trinamool Congress has always championed higher political representation for women. We have the highest proportion of female elected representatives in both Parliament and the State Legislature. In the Lok Sabha, 37.9% of our elected members are women. In the Rajya Sabha, we have nominated 46% women members.The question of opposing Women's Reservation does not arise and never has.
What we are fundamentally opposed to is the Delimitation exercise that the Modi Government was plotting to push through by using women as a shield for its vested political agenda. What we are fundamentally opposed to is the altering of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution, the division of this nation and the usurpation of power through gerrymandering, by redrawing political contours to hand greater representation to BJP-ruled states at the expense of others. This is an assault on federal democracy. And we will not watch it happen in silence.
If this government was genuinely serious about this noble cause, why did it wait nearly three years after the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill on September 28, 2023? Why rush it through when several states are in election? And why couple it with Delimitation? Trinamool Congress has stood for women for decades. We will continue to. But we will not be lectured on a subject that the ruling dispensation neither understands nor respects.
And Mr. Prime Minister, the next time you address the nation, have the courage to do so from the Floor of Parliament, where you are subject to scrutiny, challenge and accountability. What you did yesterday was cowardly, hypocritical and fork-tongued. You can feel power slipping through your fingers. And you are prepared to go to any extent to hold on for just a little while longer.
That is all this was.
At Kharagpur, I addressed internal review meetings for Medinipur and Ghatal with the leaders and devoted party workers who are the backbone of Trinamool Congress.
I said to them plainly that the end is in sight, but that is precisely when complacency becomes the greatest danger. We have fought for the people. We have been on the ground, in every lane, every village, every home. That momentum must not slow. Not in these final days. Not when everything is at stake.
Because let us be absolutely clear about what this election is. This is a battle for Bengal's identity, for the dignity, rights, future, and very existence of its people. This is a fight against communal forces that are conspiring, with cold deliberation, to sow disharmony in a land that has always stood for peace and coexistence.
We must remain united. We must carry the message of peace and prosperity to every single home. We must dismantle their designs with the one weapon they cannot counter. The organised, resolute, and unified will of the people. Trinamool Congress is the only political force that has stood firm against BJP's assault, time and again. We have resisted before. We will resist again. We will prevail.
আমরাও নির্বাচন কমিশনকে সোজা কথা সোজাভাবেই বলছি।
এবারের নির্বাচন হতে হবে:
দিল্লির নিয়ন্ত্রণমুক্ত,
রাজনৈতিক পক্ষপাতহীন,
উদ্দেশ্যপ্রণোদিতভাবে কাউকে নিশানা করা থেকে মুক্ত
এবং অবশ্যই দ্বিচারিতামুক্ত।
Our straight-talk to @ECISVEEP.
This time, the Elections must be:
Free from Delhi’s control.
Free from political bias,
Free from selective targeting,
And free from double standards.
BJP has perfected the dirty art of voter roll tampering. They did the warm-up in Delhi and Maharashtra. Now they are playing the real match in Bengal.
In Maharashtra, 43,84,814 voters were added in 5 years, and another 40,81,229 were added in just 5 months. In Delhi: 4,16,648 voters were added in 4 years, and another 3,99,362 were added in just 7 months. I had warned then that the real rigging is not in EVMs, it’s in the electoral rolls. Bengal is now witnessing exactly that.
This video clearly shows cartons filled with fraudulent Form 6 applications being openly submitted at the Chief Electoral Officer’s office, and stacked on the third floor raising serious concerns about an attempt to illegally bring in voters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh into Bengal’s electoral rolls. And it is shocking how the @ECISVEEP has rolled over and allowed this conspiracy. Nowhere in the Election Commission’s rules is bulk submission of Form 6 permitted. The limit is clearly capped at 50 applications per individual. Yet here, thousands of forms are being submitted by just a handful of people- something that is not only a blatant violation of the rules but also strikes at the very foundation of a free and fair electoral process.
We call ourselves the world’s largest democracy, yet the very custodian of our democratic rights is actively facilitating its sabotage. When BJP shouted “Paltano Dorkar”, they actually meant “VOTER ROLLS PALTANO DORKAR”. When they screamed “Poriborton”, they meant a DEMOGRAPHIC PORIBORTON, replacing Bengal’s own electorate with voters brought in from BJP-ruled states.
What we are witnessing is deeply concerning. There are growing indications of a coordinated attempt to interfere with the democratic rights of the people of Bengal - with the BJP at the centre of it and the ECI seemingly looking the other way.
People deserve to know what is happening to their votes. This isn’t a small issue- It goes to the very heart of free and fair elections.
We are receiving credible reports from several districts that large numbers of Form 6 applications (New Voters) are being submitted in a questionable manner. These are not routine additions. There are serious concerns that many of these entries may be linked to individuals who have no real connection to Bengal—people who don’t live here, don’t work here and have no stake in the state.
The video only adds to these concerns. It appears to show thousands of such forms being processed and stacked, raising valid questions about the scale and intent behind this exercise.
We have seen similar concerns being raised in other states during elections. Bengal cannot be allowed to go down that path.
Take a moment to watch this. Ask questions. Because this is not just about politics- it’s about protecting the integrity of our vote. This is the kind of “PARIBORTON” the BJP seeks to impose on Bengal.
The Election Commission must answer.
At today's janasabhas in Manbazar, Purulia and Raipur, Bankura, the people have delivered their verdict with one united voice. There is no place for the authoritarian BJP on this soil. The sound of conch shells and ululation from our mothers and sisters, and the thunderous applause from our brothers, have made one thing abundantly clear. BJP's defeat is certain.
I remain forever indebted to the people of this land. Their overwhelming support and boundless affection are beyond measure. It is their emotion, their warmth, their sincerity, that will carry our Maa-Mati-Manush candidates to victory. Trinamool Congress is the party of the people. Without the people, we are nothing. From the very first day of our founding, service to the people has been the creed we have lived by.
The Bangla-birodhi, Gonotontro-birodhi, Jono-birodhi BJP has never spared a thought for the ordinary citizen. On the contrary, it has worked without rest to strip people of their most sacred rights. Today, the people have taken a solemn pledge to resist this misrule; to elect Smt. Sandhya Rani Tudu from Manbazar and Smt. Thakur Moni Soren from Raipur with a resounding majority.
In defence of Bengal's culture, heritage, and identity, I call upon the people of this state to elect all Trinamool Congress candidates with a massive and decisive mandate.
