If you think Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, or Yogi Adityanath are BJP’s trump cards in Bengal, you are sorely mistaken. The real trump card fighting for BJP from the shadows is the Chief Election Commission. BJP calls the shots, and the Election Commission obediently follows orders.
Hundreds of companies of Central Forces, who would be far more useful in Pahalgam, Delhi, Manipur, or Noida, have been deployed in Bengal. Now they have been specifically instructed to single out Trinamool Congress protectees, including my own family.
Do whatever you want. Target whoever you want. But remember that your stay in Bengal is limited to exactly 19 days. Those Gujarat babus who are threatening our party workers to stay indoors today won’t be seen in Bengal even for an hour after the results are declared.
That’s not a threat. That’s a CHALLENGE.
.@narendramodi is promising the women of Bengal that he will turn the state into a “Double Engine” Sarkar.
But look at the horrifying reality of women in BJP-ruled states. They are forced to give birth on the streets, outside hospital gates, and die in agony, because there are no beds, no doctors, and no basic facilities.
BJP-ruled states top the charts in crimes against women, treating them as sub-humans with zero dignity, zero rights, and zero safety.
This is the “Poriborton” Modi wants to bring to Bengal. Rejecting BJP is no longer just an option. It is a necessity for the survival and dignity of every woman in Bengal.
If this is the “PARIVARTAN” BJP promises Bengal- abuse, vulgarity and attacks on our Chief Minister- then Bengal rejects it outright. Insulting her is an insult to every Bengali and every woman of this state.
A minion from Uttar Pradesh using such language and facing no consequences exposes BJP’s true character. This is their “DOUBLE ENGINE” model.
Will the @ECISVEEP , @PMOIndia , @HMOIndia@CMOfficeUP act?
BENGAL is watching and the ANSWER will come loud and clear on 4th May!
The manner in which the Election Commission has singled out and targeted Bengal is not just unprecedented- It is deeply alarming. Even before the formal notification of elections, more than 50 senior officials including the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DGP, ADGs, IGs, DIGs, District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police have been summarily and arbitrarily removed. This is not administrative action rather this is political interference of the highest order.
The systematic politicisation of institutions meant to remain impartial is a direct assault on the Constitution. At a time when a deeply flawed SIR process is underway and over 200 lives have already been lost, the conduct of the Commission reflects a clear bias and an uncomfortable submission to political interests, continuing to put the people of Bengal at risk.
Supplementary electoral rolls are still not published, in clear disregard of the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s directions, leaving citizens anxious and uncertain. Meanwhile, senior officers from critical agencies like IB, STF and CID are being selectively removed and dispatched out of the state, pointing to a calculated attempt to cripple Bengal’s administrative machinery.
Why is the BJP so desperate? Why this relentless targeting of Bengal and its people? What satisfaction do they derive from forcing citizens, even after 78 years of Independence, to stand in queues and prove their own citizenship?
The contradictions in the Commission’s actions expose its complete collapse of credibility. It claims that removed officers should not be assigned election duties, yet within hours, the same officers are sent out as election observers. The appointment of the Commissioners of Police of Siliguri and Bidhannagar as observers, without even putting replacements in place, left two vital urban centres effectively headless. It was only after this glaring lapse came to light that rushed corrections followed. This is not governance. It reflects chaos, confusion and sheer incompetence being passed off as authority.
This is not incidental, it points to a deliberate design to seize control of West Bengal through coercion and institutional manipulation. What we are witnessing is nothing short of an undeclared emergency and an unpromulgated form of president’s rule driven by political vendetta, not democratic principles.
Having failed to win the trust of Bengal’s people, the BJP is now attempting to capture the state through coercion, intimidation, manipulation and the misuse of institutions.
I stand in complete solidarity with every officer of the Government of West Bengal and their families, who are being targeted simply for serving the state with honesty and commitment. Bengal has never bowed to intimidation and it never will.
Bengal will fight, Bengal will resist and Bengal will decisively defeat every attempt to impose a divisive and destructive agenda on its soil.
I am happy to announce that our Ma-Mati-Manush government has delivered on its promise to all its employees and pensioners, and to lakhs of teachers and non-teaching staff of our educational institutions, as well as employees/ pensioners of our other grant-in-aid instititions like panchayats, municipal bodies, other local bodies etc.
They will start receiving their ROPA 2009 DA arrears from March 2026 onwards as per the modalities detailed out in the Notifications issued by our Finance Department.
