The Falta AC repoll counting today exposes glaring inconsistencies. By 3:30 pm in the afternoon today all 21 rounds were completed. On 4th May, till the same time, only 2- 4 rounds had taken place. The country deserves an explanation from the ECI.
Although more than 1000 workers from Falta have been forced to flee their homes in the last 10 days the Election Commission continued to turn a blind eye. Party offices were vandalised in broad daylight even when the Model Code of Conduct was in force.
The Election Commission has taken no action. Instead, the CEO, who was allegedly used by the ECI to delete names under the guise of SIR and manipulate the electoral process, was appointed Chief Secretary of the new WB government at a time when the Model Code of Conduct was still in force in Falta and the polling process had not even been completed.
Even more worrying, counting agents of Trinamool and other political parties, except the BJP, were allegedly thrown out of the venue on May 4th by officials and central forces deployed under the Election Commission of India.
This is deeply alarming and strikes at the heart of free and fair elections.
Unless compromised officials are held accountable and an independent CCTV audit of the counting process is conducted, questions over the credibility of the mandate will only grow stronger.
The truth cannot be suppressed forever!
“Complete prohibition.”
The phrase echoes through this circular like a WARNING - not to protect governance, but to ENFORCE SILENCE upon Govt employees across #Bengal.
No speaking to the press.
No writing articles.
No participating in media programs.
No criticism of the Centre or State government.
No expression that may strain relations with Delhi.
Under @BJP4India's remote-controlled governance, SILENCE IS NOW AN ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENT.
This shocking circular is not about discipline, it is about CURTAILING FREE EXPRESSION and SYSTEMATICALLY CHOKING FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS to ensure absolute obedience to the masters sitting in Delhi.
In short: THINK AS YOU ARE TOLD. SPEAK ONLY WHEN PERMITTED.
When a government cannot tolerate criticism, it starts crushing dissent. That is not strength - that is STRANGULATION OF DEMOCRACY!
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.
In Uttaravag Lalpole under Baruipur Purba Assembly Constituency, AITC worker Bijendra Nath Mondal and his family were BRUTALLY ATTACKED in the aftermath of the polls. They were mercilessly beaten up and their home was severely vandalised.
This REIGN OF TERROR unleashed by @BJP4Bengal-backed miscreants exposes the COMPLETE COLLAPSE of democratic values they claim to preach.
Bengal is watching. The people will neither forgive nor forget these HORRIFIC acts of political violence.
তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের প্রাক্তন বিধায়ক এবং ডেবরা বিধানসভার তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের প্রার্থী ভ্রাতৃপ্রতিম শ্রী রাজীব ব্যানার্জীর অর্ধাঙ্গিনী শ্রীমতী অঞ্জনা ব্যানার্জীর আকস্মিক প্রয়াণে আমি গভীরভাবে শোকাহত। আমি তাঁর আত্মার শান্তি কামনা করছি। তাঁর শোকসন্তপ্ত পরিবার-পরিজন ও শুভাকাঙ্খীদের প্রতি আন্তরিক সমবেদনা জানাচ্ছি।
Congratulations to the UDF government led by Chief Minister @vdsatheesan on taking oath in Kerala today. Wishing the new government great success in their service to the people of Kerala
From homes to hawker stalls, the poor are paying the price of political arrogance. Bengal does not believe in bulldozer politics. The land of Tagore and Netaji cannot be ruled through fear, force, and demolition drives against ordinary citizens.
What we are witnessing today is an attack on the dignity of the people of Bengal- daily wage workers, street vendors, small shopkeepers, and struggling families who have built their lives brick by brick. The massive eviction drive around Howrah Station, the unrest and anger erupting on the streets of Tiljala and Park Circus, and the growing desperation among those suddenly stripped of shelter and livelihood expose a government more obsessed with optics than humanity.
A government that demolishes first and listens later has forgotten the very spirit of Bengal. Real progress is measured by how a state treats its weakest citizens, not by how quickly it can erase them.
Bulldozers cannot become the language of governance in a state built on culture, compassion, and resistance to oppression.
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.
THE DEATH COUNT RISES, YET EVERY CRY FOR JUSTICE FALLS ON DEAF EARS.
Our dedicated workers - Somnath Bhattacharya (Saptagram AC, Polba-Dadpur Block) & Tapan Sikdar (Chakdah AC, Chakdah Block) - were BRUTALLY assaulted by @BJP4Bengal-backed goons. Tragically, BOTH succumbed to the severe injuries inflicted upon them.
The grieving families ask a simple but chilling question - does supporting Trinamool Congress in Bengal under @BJP4India’s watch now invite violence, persecution, and death?
Police - inactive.
Courts - silent spectators.
BJP Netas - busy celebrating.
Prime Minister - planning his next foreign tour.
Home Minister - completely missing in action.
And amidst this shameful silence, ordinary people continue to suffer the consequences of BJP’s politics of VIOLENCE, VENGEANCE & UTTER LAWLESSNESS.
Shameful and deeply provocative.
In the Banshihari area of Dakshin Dinajpur, the statues of Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu, the legendary heroes of the Santhal Rebellion, have been vandalised.
This is not mere vandalism. It is a direct attack on Adivasi pride, history and the identity of Bengal’s tribal communities.
The same people who seek votes in the name of tribal welfare remain silent when the icons revered by tribal society are repeatedly disrespected.
Bengal will not tolerate this politics of hatred and insult. Those responsible for this disgraceful act must be identified and punished immediately!

Bengal is already witnessing a DOUBLE ENGINE DISASTER.
In Khejuri’s Jonka GP, West Bhangan Mari area, nearly 10 shops were allegedly set ablaze last night by BJP miscreants, right in front of the police. Entire livelihoods have been reduced to ashes because hatred and intimidation are now being used as political tools.
This is the true face of the politics preached by @AmitShah and @BJP4India - division, fear and targeted violence carried out with complete impunity.
Where are the Central Forces now? Or are they deployed only when it suits the BJP’s political agenda? Is the Home Minister watching in silence while Bengal burns?
If shops can be torched and communities terrorised in broad daylight, what remains of law and order? The message being sent is loud and dangerous - under BJP’s shadow, violence appears protected.
And as they say, the morning shows the day.
Is this how you plan to drive “Bhoi” out? By setting Bengal on fire?
What unfolded in Khejuri’s Nichkasba GP, Hijli Sharif is nothing short of barbaric.
Over 60 shops were torched by BJP-backed miscreants, destroying the livelihoods of innocent people overnight. Hindu-owned shops, Muslim-owned shops, it made no difference. This was not an attack on any one community; it was a calculated assault on Bengal’s social harmony, democratic fabric and the ordinary citizens who simply want to live in peace.
This is the true face of BJP’s politics: hatred, intimidation and destruction.
Bengal will never surrender to such violence. Those responsible for this shameful act must be identified and brought to justice at the earliest.
