This vote is for the Bengal we love. For its people, its spirit, its shared future.
I urge everyone to vote with courage and conviction. Let your vote firmly reject the harassment people faced in the name of long lines for petty politics.
Central Forces under Amit Shah have become BJP’s PRIVATE ARMY- A gang of licensed thugs unleashed on the people of Bengal.
In Udaynarayanpur, an elderly man went to cast his vote with his son. Too frail to walk unaided, his son tried to help him into the booth. Central Forces pushed and manhandled both. The old man collapsed, was rushed to Amta Hospital and declared dead on arrival.
Since dawn, these Central Forces have been terrorising ordinary citizens- slapping women, assaulting the elderly, attacking even children. This is the SITALKUCHI MENTALITY of 2021: cold-blooded, merciless violence against unarmed civilians. BJP paid a heavy price for the blood of innocents in 2021. They will pay an even heavier price in 2026.
And to the JALLADS roaming Bengal: it doesn’t matter which state you come from. It doesn’t matter whose political patronage shields you. Every single one of you involved in this barbarism will be hunted down and made to face the full force of the law. Your reign of terror will end in total ruin.
Some victories in public life are measured not in headlines, but in the light restored to a child’s eyes.
Through Sebaashray’s commitment, eight-month-old twins Alifa and Rayana Khatun have successfully undergone sight-restoring surgeries at LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, overcoming congenital blindness and embracing a future once thought impossible.
Seeing their world illuminated for the very first time is more than a medical success; it is a reaffirmation that compassionate governance, timely intervention, and an unshakeable commitment to people’s welfare can transform lives in the most profound ways.
Their smiles, and the joy of their family, are reminders of why this journey of service matters. When humanity leads, hope prevails.
Ten lifetimes won't be enough for your Bangla Birodhi Gujarati gang and their stooge Gyanesh Kumar to put even a dent in my DIAMOND HARBOUR MODEL.
Bring everything you have got. I challenge the entire Union of India- Come to Falta. Send your strongest, send one of the godfathers from Delhi. If you have got the nerve, contest in Falta.
To every Trinamool Congress leader, party worker, booth agent, volunteer, supporter, and believer in the Maa-Mati-Manush philosophy 👇
Buy every packet of sobuj aabir you can find. Stockpile it. Hoard it. Because on 4th May, there is going to be a very serious shortage. The entire state will be painted green. Rabindrasangeet will buzz from every corner of Bengal. And yes, we will play a little DJ too.
Get ready. The celebration has already begun in our hearts. The streets just need to catch up.
Joy Bangla! Maa-Mati-Manush Zindabaad!
BJP has been on a losing streak in Bengal. Election after election, they arrive with full force, throw everything they have at this state, and leave empty-handed every single time. This time will be no different. Except for one thing. This time, the people of Bengal will hand them a TRANSFER CERTIFICATE. Permanent. Non-negotiable. Ensuring these migratory birds are never seen in Bengal again after 4th May.
So in the spirit of genuine hospitality, we urge our uninvited Brand Ambassadors, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, to make the most of whatever time remains. Eat the jhalmuri. Enjoy the boat rides on the Ganga that the Yamuna's toxic foam denied you at home. See the sights. Take the photos. Fill the teleprompter with whatever you like.
Because the door is about to slam shut. With the force of an earthquake. One that will be felt all the way to your seat of power in Delhi. Enjoy Bengal while you can, gentlemen. The people are about to show you out.
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!
BJP has waged a war on Bengal.
They have turned the greatest festival of democracy into what can only be described as a military occupation. The Prime Minister. The Home Minister. The entire Modi Cabinet. The senior-most BJP leadership, including Chief Ministers of 16 states. The ED, CBI, NIA, and Income Tax Department. Over 2 lakh Central Force personnel. The Godi Media. The entire Observer apparatus. And above all, a weaponised Election Commission of India.
All of this, for what? To defeat one woman. A woman in plain sarees and chappals, backed by nothing but the love and resolve of 10 crore people. And still, they are failing. Unable to compete politically, they reach for the gutter. The result? Roadside rowdy-romeo language like "Ei Didi", the desperate vocabulary of men who know they have already lost. It is a window into their frustration. All that money, all that muscle, all that machinery, and still no match for the power of the people.
It is this unassailable, indomitable power that will carry our Maa-Mati-Manush party to a historic fourth term.
Today, I offered my prayers at the revered Madan Mohan Temple in Cooch Behar.
I sought the Almighty’s blessings for the well-being of the Maa-Mati-Manush of Bengal, for peace, prosperity, and unity to prevail across our land.
I prayed for the strength to continue our fight for the rights and dignity of every individual, and for the resolve to protect the harmony that defines our state.
May we remain united in purpose, guided by compassion and justice, and continue to move forward together with strength and faith.
From my days in student politics to three terms as Chief Minister, I have walked every step of this journey with the people. That has never changed. It never will. There is no greater joy in my life than being among my Maa, Mati, Manush. You are my greatest asset. The inspiration behind everything I do and every battle I fight.
As long as I stand, I will not allow the Bangla-Birodhi Zamindars to inflict misery or suffering on the people of this land. I will fight to protect Bengal, safeguard the rights of those I am elected to serve, secure the future of this beautiful state, and preserve our secular fabric and inclusive ethos against every force that seeks to tear it apart. But I need you beside me, as you have always been.
Place your trust in the Joraphool and secure a resounding victory for Sablu Barman from Mathabhanga, Harihar Das from Sitalkuchi, Avijit De Bhowmick (Hippy) from Cooch Behar Dakshin, Suman Kanjilal from Alipurduar, Birendra Bara from Kalchini, Rajeev Tirkey from Kumargram, Subhash Chandra Roy from Falakata, Jayprakash Toppo from Madarihat, Udayan Guha from Dinhata, Sangita Roy Basunia from Sitai, and every Maa-Mati-Manush candidate across Bengal.
Janasabhas at Cooch Behar Uttar, Cooch Behar Dakshin, Dum Dum, Dum Dum Uttar, and roadshow at Durgapur Paschim were a luminous expression of people's boundless faith in a politics that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. In every face, in every pair of eyes, was written a steely conviction and an indomitable resolve to protect the Bengal we have built together and secure the future we deserve.
Bengal has always been a symbol of peace, unity, and harmony. There is no place for hatred, division, or conspiracy on this soil. There never has been. And no matter how much misinformation is unleashed or confusion manufactured, the people of Bengal will always choose development over destruction, progress over propaganda.
Setting aside every distinction of caste, creed, and religion, I appeal to each and every one of my mothers, brothers, and sisters to vote for the Joraphool and secure a massive, historic victory for Partha Pratim Roy from Cooch Behar Uttar, Sablu Barman from Mathabhanga, Sailen Barma from Natabari, Shib Sankar Paul from Tufanganj, Avijit De Bhowmick from Cooch Behar Dakshin, Harihar Das from Sitalkuchi, Kavi Dutta from Durgapur Paschim, Bratya Basu from Dum Dum, Chandrima Bhattacharya from Dum Dum Uttar, and every Maa-Mati-Manush candidate across Bengal.
Together, we will keep Bengal's unity and culture intact. Together, we will prevail.
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.
Today, the soil of Bengal spoke. At Tarakeswar, Kalna, Monteswar, and Bardhaman Dakshin, I spent time with my people. The warmth I received, the voices that rose in unison, the faces full of resolve, I carry all of it within me. This is not merely an election. This is Bengal's answer to those who wish to divide us, diminish us, and dictate to us from afar.
The people of this state have never surrendered their dignity. They will not begin now. In this Bengal of harmony, of syncretic culture, of centuries of coexistence, the politics of fear and hatred has no ground to stand on. The Bangla-Birodhi forces may conspire. But Maa-Mati-Manush will prevail.
I appeal to every son and daughter of this soil to protect Bengal's language, protect Bengal's culture, protect Bengal's future. Cast your precious vote for Ramendu Singha Roy from Tarakeswar, Becharam Manna from Singur, Dr. Karabi Manna from Haripal, Deboprasad Bag from Kalna, Swapan Debnath from Purbasthali Dakshin, Rabindranath Chatterjee from Katwa, Siddiqullah Chowdhury from Monteswar, Apurba Chowdhury (Achal) from Mangalkot, Rasbihari Halder from Memari, Khokon Das from Bardhaman Dakshin, and every Maa-Mati-Manush candidate standing in this election.
Bengal's democratic spirit is unbreakable. Let us vote to keep it that way.
