Will the West Bengal Police take any action? The chronology of events is crystal clear. It is evident who was behind this incident and how attacks on elected representatives are systematically orchestrated.
After careful consideration, it has been decided that all committees of the All India Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, as well as all its frontal organisations, shall stand dissolved with immediate effect.
The party will undertake a comprehensive exercise of introspection, performance review and organisational assessment at every level. Based on the findings of this exercise, the organisational structure of the parent body and all frontal organisations will be reconstituted and announced in due course.
The party remains committed to strengthening its organisation and preparing it to meet future challenges with renewed vigour and purpose.
India FAILED YOU, dear Swapna. @Swapna_Barman96
The first Indian heptathlete to win an Asian Games Gold Medal for the nation, Swapna Barman carried India’s flag with pride on the global stage. She later joined the Trinamool Congress with the hope of serving people and was our candidate from Rajganj Assembly Constituency in Jalpaiguri.
Yesterday, @BJP4Bengal GOONS SET FIRE TO HER HOME. Let that sink in.
An athlete who brought glory to the nation is being repaid with violence, intimidation and fear - simply because she chose to stand with the Trinamool Congress.
THIS is the grim reality under @BJP4India’s watch.
THIS is the 'Parivartan' they promised.
The @BJP4India govt must answer. This CANNOT become the new normal. If supporting the Trinamool Congress now means risking your safety, your family and even your home, WHERE ARE WE HEADED, AS A NATION?
If this is how an athlete who brought glory to India is treated for her political choices, the state of democracy should worry EVERY Indian.
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.
We have fought an extremely difficult election where nearly 30 lakh genuine voters were allegedly disenfranchised from the electoral rolls. Throughout this entire process, we witnessed what we believe was deeply partisan conduct by several government agencies as well as the Election Commission of India.
Democratic institutions that are meant to function impartially appeared compromised, raising serious concerns about the fairness, credibility and transparency of the electoral process in West Bengal.
From the counting process to allegations surrounding the handling and movement of EVMs, Mismatch of Control Units, several disturbing incidents have left millions of people questioning whether the true mandate of the people has been respected. I have already demanded the release of CCTV FOOTAGE FROM THE COUNTING CENTRES and a transparent counting of VVPAT slips so that the truth can come before the people and every doubt can be addressed openly and honestly.
Democracy can only survive when electoral institutions inspire trust and confidence among citizens. Unfortunately, what we have witnessed has deeply shaken that trust.
At the same time, reports of post-poll violence, attacks on party offices, intimidation of our party workers and threats against supporters are deeply alarming and unacceptable in a democratic society. Many dedicated Trinamool workers and supporters who fought tirelessly on the ground have allegedly faced targeted attacks and have been forced to flee their homes out of fear and insecurity. No political worker in a democracy should ever have to choose between their safety and their political beliefs.
Keeping the democratic traditions of this great nation above everything else, my colleagues and I in the Trinamool Congress will continue to stand firmly with the people of West Bengal and with every Trinamool worker who fought tooth and nail against what we believe was a compromised electoral machinery.
We will continue to be a strong, vocal and uncompromising opposition both in Delhi and WB.
Under the guidance and leadership of Mamata Banerjee, our fight for democracy, constitutional values and the rights and dignity of the people will continue without fear and without compromise.
I urge every Trinamool supporter and worker to stay strong and united during this difficult time. If anyone has been subjected to post-poll violence, intimidation, or threats, I request them to reach out and share their details with me or DM me. I will do everything within my capacity to ensure their safety and security and pursue every available legal and democratic remedy. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with every Trinamool worker and supporter in this fight to ensure that truth prevails and that both governments now work genuinely in the interests of the people of West Bengal.
Jai Bangla!
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
The fallout from the defeat of the Delimitation Bill in the Lok Sabha is exposing the BJP’s discomfort for all to see.
The Women’s Reservation Act guaranteeing 33 % reservation for women has been in force since 16 April 2026. It was passed unanimously in September 2023.
If the NDA government is serious, it should immediately bring forward the bill to notify one third of the seats. DO IT NOW!
@AITCofficial has not just supported this in principle but exceeded it in reality, with over 41 % women’s representation in Parliament.
The Constitutional 131st Amendment Bill 2026 has been rejected by INDIA. The attempt to expand the Lok Sabha to 850 seats and push delimitation based on the 2011 Census raised serious concerns about fairness and balance.
The NDA government is clearly on borrowed time and the illusion of control is beginning to crumble in plain sight!
The arrest of Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, barely 10 days before the Bengal elections, is not just alarming- It shakes the very idea of a level playing field.
At a time when WB should be moving toward free and fair elections, this kind of action sends a chilling message: If you work with the opposition, you could be next. That’s not democracy- that’s intimidation!
What makes it even harder to ignore is the double standard. Those facing serious corruption allegations seem to find protection the moment they switch sides, while others are swiftly targeted at politically convenient moments. People are not blind to this anymore.
When institutions meant to protect democracy start feeling like tools of pressure, trust begins to erode. On one side, the Election Commission. On the other, agencies like the ED, NIA, CBI stepping in at the most sensitive time. It creates an atmosphere of fear, not fairness.
India has always taken pride in its democracy- loud, messy but free. But today, many are beginning to ask: are we still that country?
This is bigger than one arrest. It is about whether our institutions remain independent and whether every citizen, no matter their political belief, can participate without fear.
Because once fear replaces freedom, democracy becomes just a word.
To Amit Shah and the BJP’s power structure- Be in Bengal on the 4th and 5th of May. Come with Gyanesh Kumar and every agency you deploy. Bengal will not be bullied, will not be silenced and will not bow. This is a land that answers pressure with resistance and it will show you exactly what that means!
With her nomination filed today, Smt. @MamataOfficial steps forward with the strength and trust of the people.
This fight is to protect what Bengal stands for, and to ensure that those who try to impose their Bangla-Birodhi politics, stay rejected.
This fight is for democracy!
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.
BJP and its B-team, the ‘Vanish Commission’, are sending Observers to Bengal to alter the election outcome through unfair means. These “Observers” are individuals with special proximity to the BJP; individuals with criminal antecedents; individuals accused in corruption and bribery cases.
But the real “Observers” are the people of Bengal. And they have been watching. They have watched every rupee of Bengal's rightful funds withheld. Every legitimate voter erased. Every constitutional office weaponised against this state. Every attempt to bend Bengal to its knees and force it to beg for what is rightfully its own.
Now, the time has come for the people to respond in the only language the BJP understands. Straight-out rejection. The people of Dhupguri and Kalchini are fully prepared. Every single vote for our candidates Dr. Nirmal Chandra Roy and Shri Birendra Bara will land like a bolt of lightning on a party that mistook Bengal's patience for submission.
Your reckoning is here. Brace for impact.
The migratory birds of BJP fly into Bengal before every election and vanish the moment the results are out. Trinamool Congress, on the other hand, stands with you all 365 days of the year. BJP talks about “Sankalp”. We deliver our “Protigya”. BJP conspires to snatch away your constitutional right to vote. We fight relentlessly to protect your franchise.
BJP forces you to stand in endless queues. We reach your doorstep with a wide range of welfare schemes. BJP believes in the politics of “Dharma”. We believe in the politics of “Karma”. That is, was, and will always be the fundamental difference between us. And it is this difference that will decide the fate of Bengal in the coming elections.
Today, during my janasabhas covering Daspur, Keshiary, and Dantan, and the karmisabha at Nandigram, I clearly felt the pulse of the people. They are seething with anger and waiting for the right moment to democratically bury the BJP under an avalanche of votes.
Come 4th May, the people of Bengal will settle the final score.
If this is the “PARIVARTAN” BJP promises Bengal- abuse, vulgarity and attacks on our Chief Minister- then Bengal rejects it outright. Insulting her is an insult to every Bengali and every woman of this state.
A minion from Uttar Pradesh using such language and facing no consequences exposes BJP’s true character. This is their “DOUBLE ENGINE” model.
Will the @ECISVEEP , @PMOIndia , @HMOIndia@CMOfficeUP act?
BENGAL is watching and the ANSWER will come loud and clear on 4th May!
On the auspicious occasion of Eid, I extend my heartfelt greetings to everyone and express my gratitude to all those who gathered at Red Road to celebrate this festival in a spirit of peace and brotherhood. I pray that your Roza is accepted and that the values of compassion and unity continue to guide us.
Eid reminds us of the enduring principles of patience, love, and togetherness that define our shared humanity. Bengal has always upheld this ethos, where communities come together to celebrate each other’s traditions, reinforcing a culture of mutual respect and harmony.
At a time when divisive forces seek to pit one against another, we must remain united. India belongs equally to all its people, and its strength lies in its diversity. I am confident that the people of Bengal will continue to reject hatred and stand in defence of our collective spirit. May peace, good health, and prosperity be with all.
Eid Mubarak.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating.
On this auspicious occasion, I extend my warmest greetings to all. Eid is a time of reflection, compassion and togetherness, values that strengthen the social fabric of our nation.
May this festival bring peace, prosperity and happiness to every home, and reinforce our shared commitment to harmony, mutual respect and unity.
Today, I place before the people my 10 ‘Protigya’ for Bengal.
My commitments span every pillar of governance, strengthening support for women, youth, farmers, landless agricultural labourers, and the elderly; advancing education and healthcare; ensuring housing and piped drinking water for every household; strengthening administration; and transforming Bengal into the Gateway of trade for Eastern India.
Through these pledges, I reiterate my resolve to sustain the momentum of progress with renewed vigour in the fourth term of my Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkar, and to further strengthen Bengal’s position as one of the leading states of the nation.
Bengal has always led with conviction, knowing the way, going the way and showing the way. Smt. @MamataOfficial’s 10 ‘Protigya’ reflect this very ethos, deeply rooted in the lived realities, needs and aspirations of our people.
From empowering women, youth, farmers and senior citizens with dignity and opportunity, to ensuring a pucca home and piped water for every household; from taking healthcare to the doorstep through Duare Chikitsa to upgrading Government schools with modern infrastructure, this is a vision that seamlessly blends compassion with ambition.
Coupled with a renewed push for industrial growth and stronger administrative efficiency, it charts a future that is both progressive and inclusive. This vision is born not out of abstraction, but from constant engagement with the people. It is now our collective responsibility to translate these commitments into reality by strengthening the hands that have tirelessly worked for Bengal’s welfare.
