#WATCH | Digha: West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari says, "The Railway Board has granted approval; the District Magistrate is present here. The Railway Minister and I have met with the District Magistrate and even held a conference on this matter. Land needs to be acquired for the double railway line from Nandakumar to Digha; the Railway Board has been repeatedly requesting this. After all, the Vande Bharat train should run from Digha, shouldn't it? And for that, a double railway line is essential. They have been asking for the land for eight years now, but the previous government failed to provide it. Regarding the Nandigram railway project, 74 acres are now in hand, and the work is complete; we are also addressing the need for the remaining six acres...The priority is to establish the double railway line from Nandakumar to Digha; without it, how can the Vande Bharat train operate from here? Every other coastal city is connected to the rest of the country; Digha remains the exception solely due to the negative attitude of the previous government."
FROM MY MOST RELIABLE SOURCES:
TMC was trying to give conspiracy angle to point out fingers at credibility of @ECISVEEP raising doubts over 4000 EVMs burnt in West Bengal building fire. BUT REAL STORY SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT!
Connect Dots:
• The 3rd, 8th and 9th floors were the worst affected, with reports suggesting that the fire originated on the 3rd floor.
What was on 3rd floor?
• The 3rd floor housed the South 24 Parganas Zilla Parishad office, where JAHANGIR KHAN, right hand man of Abhishek Banerjee is reported to have operated from.
No. It wasn't only 'for' Jahangir Khan. 8th & 9th floor are more 'special'.
• The 8th floor housed the School Education Department, Mid-Day Meal-related records, the Horticulture Department and other offices that have faced allegations of irregularities.
The alleged Corruption of Mamata Bano Gang leaders is already under ED & CBI investigation. Now स्वाहा 🔥
And now comes the top on 'priority'... 9th floor.
• Reports suggest that the 9th floor contained not only EVMs but also records linked to an important election petition concerning the Diamond Harbour constituency, where Abhishek Banerjee won by nearly 7 lakh votes. That case is also under litigation.
NOW THINK- Despite these aspects, public discussion has largely been 'divertes' to EVMs despite VVPAT being safe, while other potentially significant dimensions of the incident have received absolutely no attention.
U may be naive to believe it was an 'accident', I'm not. The West Bengal government has reportedly raised the possibility of internal sabotage & I would like to request CM .@SuvenduWB Da to focus on this angle during investigation. Truth must come out.
Jahangir Khan of the ‘Pushpa’ infamy being paraded on the streets by cops, he is seen apologising to the public. Dressed in shorts, he is shamed in public, Calcutta HC has criticised this parading of accused.
A guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying, "Free to good home, you want it you take it."
For three days, the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it.
He eventually decided that people were rather skeptical about such a good deal, so he changed the sign to read, "Fridge for sale, $50."
The next day, someone stole it.
Mamata removes Debangshu Bhattacharya from all posts who composed 'Khela Hobe' song for Mamata
He used to say he used to follow "Mamataism"
In 2021, he said "Mamata will become PM in 2024 and Modi will become Gujarat Leader of Opposition"
Now, he is also criticising TMC.
Massive khela in Bengal 😂🔥
Five U.S. intelligence sources tell CNN that Iran has begun collapsing tunnels and rigging entrances with explosive mines to secure its near weapons-grade uranium stockpile. The roughly half-ton cache of highly enriched material is now far more difficult and dangerous to access.
Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?
Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?
This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.
Here is why Meenakshi Natarajan chose not to disclose the Telangana case in her affidavit despite being given an opportunity to do so.
The facts are straightforward. A local Mahila Congress leader filed a sexual abuse complaint against her. When no action was taken by the police and no FIR was registered, the complainant approached the court directly. Upon examining the complaint, the court issued summons to Meenakshi Natarajan.
This also answers the oft-repeated defence that there was “no FIR”. An FIR can only be registered by the police. Where the police fail to act, the law provides an alternative remedy through the courts. A court-issued summons is not a trivial matter; it signifies that the court found sufficient grounds to proceed.
The real question, therefore, is not why there was no FIR. The question is: why did Meenakshi Natarajan not disclose the court summons and the pending proceedings in her affidavit, despite being given an opportunity to do so?
Dear @KolkataPolice, is this kind of action allowed?
Just because the person sitting inside the car was one time WB's Yuvraj" and ex-CM's bhaipo; is he entitled to do this kind of nonsense?
Requesting you to kindly take action
No silly.
Nehru was proxy PM, unelected. Sardar Patel was psyched by Gandhi to serve as Nehru’s deputy.
Just as Indians born before 1 April 1970 (when birth and death certificates were mandated) were Indians but had no document to prove they were born in India. They had proxy identities — eg, son/daughter of X, spouse of Y…
Good night.
Chief Ministers have come and gone, but in all my years I have never witnessed this kind of pent-up rage as is now directed at Mamata Banerjee and her nephew.
What they ran was a grotesque hybrid of mafia and gulag.
And the greater shame? The complicity of the media, the educated class, and the so-called elite. They enabled it. They rationalised it. They helped crush dissent.
The vulnerable were extorted. Political opponents, especially those who supported the BJP were hounded, brutalised, and silenced through unspeakable acts. It is unforgivable.
What we are seeing today: eggs thrown, heads tonsured, white sarees draped in chilling symbolism is still a fraction of what Bengal endured.
And yet, the old Indian instinct will be to ‘move on.’
That instinct has cost us dearly before. History is witness: suppressed anger does not dissipate, it ferments.
There must be, there should be consequences.
By law, first and foremost.
But ‘moving on’ is certainly not an option.
Yes, comparing Modi era with Nehru’s is right. Not to do so would be injustice to millions who suffered because of Nehru.
For example, Hindu Bengali refugees. Their children, grandchildren must never forget that their people were abandoned and thrown to the wolves by Jawaharlal Nehru before, during and after Partition.
Nehru despised dark-skinned Hindu Bengali refugees, among them my father, his siblings, their widowed mother and grandmother, fleeing rapacious and murderous Muslim League mobs in East Bengal; he did not want them to seek shelter in India.
Nehru wrote to CM BC Roy, instructing him not to let Hindu Bengali refugees enter West Bengal. Push them back from the border, Nehru said, don’t let them in.
Nehru insisted Hindu Bengalis of East Bengal / East Pakistan were coming to India for free-loading at the expense of Indians. He cut back Central funds for West Bengal to stop the meagre refugee assistance by way of a couple of kilos of inedible worm-infested rotten rice for Hindu Bengalis.
Hindu Bengali refugee women and children separated from their families, or widowed and orphaned in the Noakhali genocide and subsequent Partition Massacre of Hindus, rummaged in garbage bins and pitifully begged for morsels of food.
Hindu Bengali refugee children in rags with dark large sad eyes greedily licked on used banana leaves dumped on the streets by eateries, also known as ‘pice hotels’ in Kolkata parlance, of which there was a profusion in the post-War years. Emaciated babies and rickety children of Hindu Bengali refugees huddled with stray dogs on pavements.
Many Hindu Bengali refugees lived on ‘rice water’ or ‘fan’ (the starchy water that is thrown away after boiling rice) collected from homes of compassionate Bengalis who had little food to share.
In the morning and evening there were pheriwallahs hawking their wares; in the afternoon there were Hindu Bengali refugee women in tattered sarees that barely covered their bodies and naked children with battered and bruised aluminium pots going from house to house, begging for ‘rice water’: “Ma, fan daao Ma…”
Those voices of has hunger were to haunt Hindu Bengali refugees like my parents for long, often till death.
Driven by hate for Hindu Bengali refugees, Nehru ordered horrifyingly, nauseatingly squalid and disease-ridden refugee camps to be named ‘Permanent Liability Camps’ or PLCs — PLC 1, PLC 2… — reminiscent of the ‘Permanent Solution Camps’ of the Nazis.
When despite his best efforts Nehru failed to push back the Hindu Bengali refugees to be slaughtered in East Bengal/East Pakistan, Nehru brought his devastating Freight Equalisation Policy which collapsed industry in West Bengal. Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed and the Hindu Bengali was rendered jobless: Those who lost their jobs and businesses began turning on Hindu Bengali refugees just as Nehru had hoped.
Yet Nehru could not break the spirit of the Hindu Bengali refugees who were grateful to Bharat and determined to help rebuild this great nation savaged by invaders and colonisers especially John Company.
Through generations we Hindu Bengali refugees toiled, we built, we paid taxes, we sacrificed for the Nation, our Nation, we succeeded in establishing ourselves as dutiful, law-abiding, loyal citizens of India. Having lost our home and hearth, we had no other home but India.
We Hindu Bengali refugees were hived off to malaria-infested inhospitable Dandakaranya and we cleared forests and made the soil fertile. We were packed off to Andaman and we rebuilt our lives there. When we tried to set up home at Marichjhapi we were slaughtered: the estuaries turned red with our blood.
We grieved, we got up, we overcame that setback.
We lived with dignity and honour, we earned our food, we were not freeloaders. We were poor but we were honest: we had integrity.
Cut to 2026.
So who have proved to be India’s ‘Permanent Liability’ cadging off the state and living on unearned money? Nehru Dynasty.
Mahaa_Urologist wrote in 2021 in NY Times that she knows how to finish Modi
While Modi become India’s longest serving elected PM her own party vanished from Bengal
How she says I won’t die till I finish BJP. Good luck 🤞
TMC leaders seem to be getting quite the public reception these days..😂
Another TMC minister. Another egg therapy session. Another round of ‘Chor! Chor!’ chants..🥚
Inside story...
Amidst the chaos within the TMC, Mamata Banerjee has been advised that if she merges her party with the Congress, it will be difficult for MPs to leave the party.
Because after the merger, TMC MPs will be added to the Congress's total strength. Therefore, if they leave the party later, they will face the risk of having their membership revoked.
This is why there is talk of Mamata Banerjee's plan to merge with the Congress. The Congress wants to make her the national vice-president, while Mamata's desire is reportedly to become the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and a Rajya Sabha member.
However, amid the turmoil within the Kolkata Trinamool Congress (TMC), rebel faction leader Ritabrata Banerjee has completely dismissed all speculation about a merger with the Congress. He categorically stated that his faction has no intention of joining the Congress, but is preparing to establish itself as the true TMC.
R.Banerjee claims that he currently has a strong group of 64 MLAs. He clarified that as far as his Legislative Party is concerned, the talk of joining the Congress is completely baseless.
Referring to both houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), he said that even two-thirds of TMC MPs are not in favor of merging with the Congress.
But timing is everything in politics. The time between the letter reaching the Speaker and the official announcement of the merger will determine whether the MPs' membership will be retained or lost. If the MPs' claim (actually TMC) is filed first, Mamata Banerjee's merger plan could be legally weakened.
Just a few months ago, Mamata Banerjee vowed to destroy the BJP. Today, her own party is fighting for survival.
As per sources, the following demands have reportedly been made by Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee for Merger of TMC with Congress
-A Rajya Sabha seat for Mamata Banerjee
-The post of Congress Vice President for Mamata Banerjee
-The Leader of Opposition post in the Rajya Sabha for Mamata Banerjee
-The Chairman's post of the INDIA Alliance for Mamata Banerjee
-A General Secretary role (similar to K.C. Venugopal's) for Abhishek Banerjee
-80% of the TMC fund (₹1,200 crore) to be used for the Bengal unit
-Full authority for Abhishek Banerjee to run the Bengal unit
-Protection from cases in Bengal for Abhishek Banerjee, TMC MPs, and MLAs.
@AITCofficial The advocate who couldn't win a single case for the Party is advocating again! What audacity and shamelessness! Sir, aaj ki odourless vodka ?
