আমি সেই ভারতের স্বপ্ন দেখি যেখানে দ্বেষ হয়ে যাবে নিরুদ্দেশ।

[Mamata Banerjee @MamataOfficial]

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.

Wonderful manifesto.

Why has MGNREGA not been resumed in Bengal despite Supreme Court orders? #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Why has Bengal’s rightful ₹1.96 lakh crore been withheld? #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Holding back Bengal’s funds means holding back its development. #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Global volatility was known. Why were no LPG strategic reserves created? #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

LPG prices rising, supply shrinking. How will poor families cook their meals? #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Promises of becoming a “Vishwaguru”, but why is cooking gas beyond the reach of poor families? #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Democracy is about protecting voters, not removing them. #BoycottBJP

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Deleting voters is not electoral reform, it is an attack on democracy. #BoycottBJP

@abhishekaitc @ECISVEEP পাবলিক ট্রাস্ট ভাঙলে প্রতিষ্ঠান টিকে না। ECI-র উচিত আদালতের নির্দেশ কঠোরভাবে মানা এবং সব প্রক্রিয়া লিখিত ও নথিভুক্ত রাখা।

[Abhishek Banerjee @abhishekaitc]

Is the @ECISVEEP of the view that directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court can be openly FLOUTED? The highest Court of the land has repeatedly emphasised transparency, due process, and adherence to official channels of communication. Yet we are witnessing instructions being circulated over WhatsApp rather than through formal, traceable, and accountable mechanisms.

Even more disturbing are credible reports of Special Roll Observer, C. Murugan, issuing instructions regarding the acceptability of birth certificates directly to Micro Observers in a WhatsApp group, to inflate deletion numbers. Need I remind the ECI of the Supreme Court’s categorical directive that the role of micro-observers must remain strictly assistive? Why, then, is statutory procedure being bypassed, and under whose instructions?

Additionally, Roll Observers are designated district-wise, yet it is seen that login credentials linked to these observers are being accessed from a central location in Kolkata. Login Data is being misused to generate queries and specifically target a certain community at the direction of ECI’s political masters in Delhi. Should this matter be independently examined, it will be established that the tower location and IP address of the login device differ from the actual location of the concerned roll observer.

The Election Commission derives its legitimacy from PUBLIC TRUST, not POLITICAL PATRONAGE. We shall pursue this matter before the highest court of law. Further, any person aligning themselves with or acting at the behest of Zamindars of Delhi will face stringent and uncompromising legal action. Brace yourselves!

নির্বাচনী স্বচ্ছতা চাইলে অফিসিয়াল, ট্রেসেবল চ্যানেল ব্যবহার করুন। গোপন নির্দেশ মানে গোপন উদ্দেশ্য। জনগণ কিন্তু সব দেখছে।

I thank Hon'ble Finance Minister @nsitharaman for so carefully listening to my speech. Though I wish she'd listen as carefully to the people of Bengal when they ask for their MGNREGA, PMAY, PMGSY and JJM dues. The Finance Minister says I 'twisted facts.' Let me untwist them for her.

She's absolutely right, there's no GST on fresh liquid milk. But perhaps she hasn't seen the mother who can't afford fresh milk, who stretches her budget by mixing powdered milk for her infant. That powdered milk? 5% GST. Zero tax on what she can't buy, 5% tax on what she's forced to buy.

She's correct again, textbooks have no GST. But the graph paper a student uses for his/her math assignment? 12% GST. The laboratory notebook for the science practical? 12% GST. The crayons for the drawing class? 12% GST.

On healthcare, she's technically accurate as always; consultation and treatment are GST-free. But the oxygen cylinder that keeps a COVID patient alive? 12% GST. The insulin injection that prevents a diabetic from dying? 5% GST. The anesthesia for the surgery? 12% GST.

And yes, funeral services are exempt. But the agarbatti we light for our departed? 5% GST. EVEN GRIEF HAS A PRICE TAG IN ‘NEW INDIA.’

This, Honourable Finance Minister, is EXACTLY the problem I was highlighting. Until you understand the difference between what's written in the GST Act and what's written on a poor family's grocery bill, you'll keep living in your India while we live in ours. Thank you for proving my point better than I ever could.

[Bikash Karmakar @AITCBikash]

Hilarious and ridiculous speech. Do you go to the market? Do you buy things? Which things are tax-free? Why do you tell so many lies? @nsitharaman

In the depths of my inner turmoil over an insidious process that has shattered lives and echoing the collective anguish, pain, and righteous fury of our people, I have channelled these emotions into a humble verse.

Singur is the very soil where ordinary farmers stood up to extraordinary injustice, where fear was defeated by courage, and where Bengal proved that development cannot be built on dispossession.

And now, Smt. @MamataOfficial returns to this historic land, the leader who stood as a shield between the vulnerable and the mighty, who turned protest into purpose and struggle into governance rooted in justice.

Bengal will never bow to coercion. People’s rights will always come before corporate greed. And the spirit of Singur, fearless, uncompromising, unbreakable, will continue to shape our politics and our future.
