Never Forget. Today was the day, June 25, 1975, when Indira Gandhi declared the #Emergency, and this is how it happened.

Nothing exposes political hypocrisy more brutally than this. Those once branded as the face of corruption, syndicate rule & misgovernance are now welcomed with open arms when the numbers suit. The optics are shameful.

Check this clear message from BJP winning candidate and MLA Swapan Dasgupta.

Be him and any of his party worker can not demand for any chanda or extortion of any form for doing anything from public.

Report if its done by any of parties.

[Swapan Dasgupta @swapan55]

When completed, the Siliguri-Delhi bullet train will be a game changer for North Bengal. The quick completion of the project is a challenge for the West Bengal government & it is our determination to meet it successfully. The bullet train will have a big multiplier effect & will spur the demand for a similar link from Kolkata. Thank you @AshwiniVaishnaw & @narendramodi for this show of faith in W.Bengal. @SuvenduWB

Today's high-level review meeting between Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and the West Bengal Government could prove significant beyond any individual project.

For years, many rail and metro projects have faced challenges involving:

📍 Land acquisition

📍 Utility shifting

📍 Administrative approvals

📍 Inter-agency coordination

The latest review suggests an attempt to create a more structured mechanism to accelerate execution.

Infrastructure announcements create headlines.

Infrastructure delivery creates transformation.

The next few years may determine whether Bengal's ₹1 lakh crore rail pipeline becomes reality.

Bengal’s Game-Changing Deep Sea Port is Back on Track :
After years of delays and false starts, the Bengal government has held fresh high-level talks with Karan Adani. The Tajpur Deep Sea Port (now likely at Dadanpatrabar) is being revived with better land availability. This could be the single most important infrastructure project for Bengal’s economy in the last 50 years. Here’s a full 360° breakdown of what it really means ↓

@MoumitaBMishra There are many unauthorized building built on "Nayanjoli" Land beside old GT Road & main road of Bardhaman town. Identify it & if possible demolish the unauthorized buildings & have a wider Bardhaman town's main road.

[Swapan Dasgupta @swapan55]

I shed no tears for the TMC’s self-destruction. My only hope is that the political culture of the vandals doesn’t start contaminating the W.Bengal BJP. We in the BJP have to be always wary of false friends who are today cosying up to us because they need to wash away their past sins. The detox of Bengal cannot be left incomplete.

Starting tomorrow, Supreme court of India is on a six-week summer vacation and will be operating at just 19% of its capacity. There are 53 million cases pending in Indian courts - 93,143 of them are pending in the Supreme Court.

A judge can go on a vacation, a judiciary cannot.

TMC has destroyed an entire generation beyond repair. Thousands lost their futures to rampant corruption, and now many of them are too old to even sit for the exams. They have family to look after, who'll take accountability, will Mamata Banerjee answer ?
