The decision of the West Bengal Government to officially commemorate Paschimbanga Divas on 20th June marks an important recognition of a defining chapter in the stateâs history.
For decades, successive Left Front governments and later the Mamata Banerjee government resisted acknowledging 20th June as West Bengalâs Foundation Day, despite its undeniable historical significance. On this day in 1947, elected representatives from the non-Muslim majority districts of undivided Bengal voted in favour of partition and chose to remain part of India. That decision altered the course of history. Without it, the whole of Bengal would have become part of Pakistan.
This outcome was neither inevitable nor accidental. It was achieved through the tireless efforts of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and countless others who stood firm during one of the darkest periods in Bengalâs history. In the aftermath of Direct Action Day and the horrific violence of the Noakhali riots, they fought to ensure that Bengali Hindus would have a secure homeland within India. The birth of West Bengal was the result of a conscious democratic choice backed by immense sacrifice and political courage.
Historical truths cannot be ignored or rewritten to suit changing political narratives. Recognising 20th June is not an act of political partisanship. It is an acknowledgement of the decisions, sacrifices and struggles that shaped modern West Bengal and secured its place within the Indian Union.
For the BJP, the observance of 20th June as West Bengalâs Foundation Day carries significance beyond symbolism. It represents a civilisational and ideological milestone, reaffirming the vision championed by Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and those who fought to preserve Bengalâs cultural identity, democratic values and national belonging. By honouring this day, the state pays tribute to the forces that shaped its destiny and safeguards a historical truth that deserves remembrance by future generations.
Heartiest congratulations, @swapan55 Sir, on your Cabinet appointment.
May this be the beginning of a new chapter of cultural awakening, intellectual excellence, and renewed pride in Bengal's glorious civilizational legacy.

These notorious remarks from #Cockroach JP representative raise serious concerns. Directly challenging the Delhi Police and administration while using provocative rhetoric is irresponsible and only fuels unnecessary confrontation.

Glad to welcome Shri Rabi Lamichhane Ji, Chairman of Nepal's Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and his delegation at BJP HQ under the 'KNOW BJP' initiative.

Also highlighted how under the leadership of Honâble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, development and public welfare remain central to our governance model.
