It is unfortunate and deeply concerning that the Prime Minister of India has chosen to politicise a natural disaster without waiting for a proper investigation, especially while people in North Bengal are grappling with the aftermath of devastating floods and landslides.
When the entire local administration and police is engrossed in relief and rescue operations, the BJP leaders chose to go to the affected areas with a large convoy of cars and under security cover of the central forces and that too without any information to local police and administration. How can the state administration , local police or the TMC be blamed for the incident ?
The PM has blamed the TMC and the West Bengal Government outright without a shred of verified evidence, legal inquiry, or administrative report. This is not just a political low, it is a breach of the constitutional ethos the Prime Minister has sworn to uphold. In any democracy, the law must take its own course, and only due process can determine culpability - not a tweet from a political pulpit.
The incident occurred in a constituency where the people themselves have elected a BJP MLA. Yet the Prime Minister sees no contradiction in painting the incident as a reflection of TMC’s so-called “strongmanship.” Such sweeping, unsubstantiated generalisations are not only immature, but also, they are unbecoming of the highest office in the land.
Coming from a Prime Minister who visited Manipur only 964 days after it was engulfed in ethnic violence, the sudden concern for Bengal appears less like empathy and more like opportunistic political theatre.
Yes, we all condemn violence, unequivocally. But this is not the time for partisan chest-thumping. This is a time to help and heal.
It’s also evident that BJP is resorting to the tired North Bengal vs South Bengal narrative, hoping to polarise people ahead of elections. Let us be clear: Bengal is one - emotionally, culturally, and politically.
I urge the Prime Minister: Listen to the elected state government, not just your party colleagues. You are the Prime Minister of India, not just of BJP. Your responsibility lies in nation-building, not narrative-building.
At this critical hour, let us not deepen divides. Let us stand united beyond party lines, to serve the people who need us the most. Let’s leave politics for another day.
During the dawn of human rights and social reform, visionaries who broke the chains of antiquated traditions and reshaped society into a free and civilised order stand as beacons of progress. Among them, Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, one of the foremost architects of Bengal Renaissance, holds a place of singular distinction. Today, on his birth anniversary, I visited Vidyasagar College and offered floral tributes at his feet.
When the barbaric, brutal, and merciless Bangla-Birodhi elements desecrated Vidyasagar’s statue in 2019, it was an affront to the very culture and heritage of Bengal. Today, I paid my humble respects by garlanding the remnants of that vandalised statue.
Vidyasagar, the creator of Barnaparichay, exemplified the principles of righteous living. He demonstrated how one can uphold dignity and integrity without yielding to oppressive forces or fearing harm. On this solemn day, we draw renewed inspiration from his ideals and reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding humanity, justice and democracy.
Today, the long arm of the law has finally caught up. The Hon'ble Calcutta High Court has held the FRRO (Delhi) detention and deportation order unlawful and directed the immediate repatriation of six people, including the pregnant woman from BIRBHUM, who were labelled “BANGLADESHI MIGRANTS” and expelled.
This judgement lays bare a CRUEL and SYSTEMATIC campaign of harassment aimed at Bengalis by the Bangla-Birodhi Zamindars. We will hold the ones responsible to account, in courts, in public debate and at the polls. The people of Bengal will not tolerate XENOPHOBIA, HUMILIATION, or the POLITICS OF EXCLUSION. Come 2026, those who trafficked in fear and persecution will face a decisive verdict from the electorate.
Justice has begun to be served. Our resolve to protect the dignity, rights and language of the people of Bengal remains unshaken.
@abhishekaitc This verdict exposes the cruelty of the Bangla-birodhi agenda. Bengal will never bow to fear or humiliation. In 2026, the people will deliver their own judgement at the ballot box. 🗳️

শুভ মহালয়া।
Mahalaya marks the triumph of light over darkness. On this auspicious day, I extend my heartfelt wishes to all.
As the dawn of Devi Paksha begins, may Maa Durga bless our lives with courage, compassion and hope.
Let this festive season remind us of the power of unity and the joy of celebrating togetherness.
The Union Government, despite having the support of the Opposition parties and the entire nation, still lacks the courage to reclaim PoJK. It beats its chest with hollow rhetoric, but when it comes to defending India’s sovereignty, protecting our borders and acting firmly against our enemies, it shows no real resolve.
Instead of fulfilling its constitutional responsibility, this government is solely interested in amassing POWER, WEALTH AND CONTROL WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY.
We strongly condemn this authoritarian attitude and oppose the introduction of this DRACONIAN CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BILL. The Government of India, instead of providing relief to the people and working for the genuine development of farmers, workers and the poor, has completely failed to uphold its duty of safeguarding the sovereignty of the nation.
Having failed in its attempt to misuse the EC to implement SIR, the government has now activated another “E” — ED - to bring in laws that target opposition leaders, crush democracy and manipulate the people’s mandate by toppling State Govts.
This government has proven itself to be anti-people, anti-farmer, anti-poor, anti-SC, anti-ST, anti-OBC, anti FEDERAL and above all ANTI INDIA.
One vote to the BJP is nothing less than SELLING THE SOUL OF INDIA. It is selling the Constitution of our country and allowing INDIA to be run as private property in the hands of INCOMPETENT OBSESSIVE TYRANTS!
The INDIA built on the ideals of GANDHI and AMBEDKAR will not surrender its soul to dictators and power-hungry rulers.
One year ago today, the R G Kar tragedy shook the nation’s conscience and left an unhealable scar. The pain endured by the victim’s family still weighs heavily on us.
Determined to ensure such horrors are never repeated, the West Bengal Legislative Assembly unanimously passed the Aparajita Anti-Rape Bill, proposing:
➡️ Harshest punishment for rapists
➡️ Swift, watertight investigations
➡️ Speedy trials to deliver justice without delay
But when it came to protecting India’s daughters, the @narendramodi Govt. chose obstruction over action, raising frivolous objections and sending the Bill back for reconsideration.
Rape is a plague on society. It demands more than lip service and token gestures. It calls for decisive laws and strong deterrence. Yet, those who profit from selective outrage will never walk the talk because for them, women’s safety is just another political prop.
The EC has stated that the voter lists across various states on the basis of which the GENERAL ELECTIONS were held barely a year ago in 2024 are FAULTY and riddled with IRREGULARITIES.
If that is indeed the case, and if the GoI agrees with the EC’s assessment, then the first step towards conducting a genuine SIR and STANDING ON MORAL HIGH GROUND is the
IMMEDIATE DISSOLUTION OF LOK SABHA. If one truly supports the idea of SIR, then as per the EC’s own statement - THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE BEEN BETRAYED.
Also, If the new CEC is truly as competent as claimed, then the SIR should be implemented across the country, not selectively in poll-bound states.
@ECISVEEP AAP CHRONOLOGY SAMAJ LIJIYE:
1️⃣ Dissolve the House!
2️⃣ Conduct SIR across the country!
3️⃣ Go for elections and face the people!
Last year around this time, I had the opportunity to participate in NABOJOWAR Yatra and traveled across West Bengal to understand the issues and challenges faced by people on the ground. Witnessing firsthand the hardships caused by RISING PRICES and the stoppage of MGNREGA dues deeply affected me. In response, @AITCofficial organized statewide protests and took the matter to Delhi to fight for people's rights. Thankfully, this was addressed in February, along with an increase in financial assistance through the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme to help families.
I am profoundly grateful to the people of Bengal for their trust and faith in us. The results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections reflect the anger and frustration of the people, especially regarding the neglect of basic housing rights due to the state-center conflict. We have committed to addressing this by December 31st, and I have already requested the HCM and relevant authorities of GoWB to prioritize this issue.
In light of some pressing medical reasons, I will be taking a short hiatus from the organisation. This time off will be an opportunity for me to humbly explore and understand the needs of our people and community. I trust that GoWB will act swiftly and leave no stone unturned to ensure justice for those in need.
