Boosting business linkages!
President Nikos Christodoulides and I interacted with leading CEOs in order to add vigour to commercial linkages between India and Cyprus. Sectors like innovation, energy, technology and more offer immense potential. I also talked about India’s reform trajectory in the last decade.

आज म हाम्रा साझा सपना अनि आकांक्षाहरू पूरा गर्न आफ्नो प्राणोत्सर्ग गरेका हाम्रा वीर शहीदहरूप्रति हार्दिक श्रद्धाञ्जली अर्पण गर्न कालेबुङको शहीद पार्क गएँ।
उहाँहरूको साहस अनि समर्पणले हामीलाई हाम्रो क्षेत्रको उत्कृष्ट भविष्य निर्माण गर्न सधैँ उत्प्रेरित गरिरहने छ।
वीर शहीदहरूको बलिदानप्रति सम्मान जनाउँदै जाति र भूमिका लागि उहाँहरूको बलिदान व्यर्थ नजाओस् भनेर निरन्तर अथक काम गर्न म वचनबद्ध छु।
যে পুলিশ হিন্দুদের ঘর এবং দোকান লুটের সময় লুকিয়ে গিয়েছিল, তারা আজ বেরিয়েছে মুখ্যমন্ত্রীর যাতায়াতের পথকে নিষ্কণ্টক করার জন্য।

Today, I visited the heartbreaking site of the tragic fire at Rituraj Hotel in Mechua, Kolkata, where 14 innocent lives were lost, and countless others were injured. The pain of witnessing the aftermath is indescribable.
As the Leader of Opposition, I took stock of the situation on the ground. This tragedy exposes the gross negligence and incompetence of the West Bengal Government and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC). The lack of enforced fire safety measures, unchecked violations, and inadequate infrastructure turned a preventable incident into a catastrophe.
The Fire & Emergency Services Department under Sujit Bose and the KMC under Firhad Hakim, have failed miserably to ensure regular fire safety audits and equip commercial establishments like Rituraj Hotel with basic safety standards.
Where were the mandatory fire exits, sprinklers, or smoke alarms? Why were safety norms blatantly ignored in the heart of Kolkata?
Even more shameful is the abysmal response. A fire of this magnitude in central Kolkata demanded swift, coordinated action, yet the response was delayed and chaotic.
Was the administration paralyzed because the Chief Minister and her coterie were enjoying a 3-day vacation in Digha? The absence and lack of leadership during this crisis is a betrayal of public trust. The WB Government’s apathy and the KMC’s complicity in allowing unsafe structures to operate unchecked are nothing short of criminal.
I demand a high-level, transparent probe to uncover the lapses that led to this tragedy and to hold all responsible accountable, be it negligent officials, complicit inspectors, or the hotel management. The State’s failure to prioritize public safety cannot be swept under the rug by putting the entire blame on the Hotel Management, by treating them as scapegoats.
Bodofa, who became the voice of dignity, identity, and equal rights for the entire tribal community, united the tribal society during his short life and inspired them to fight for their rights through peaceful means.
এ বছরের মাধ্যমিক পরীক্ষায় প্রথম স্থান অধিকার করেছে উত্তর দিনাজপুর জেলার রায়গঞ্জ করোনেশন স্কুলের মেধাবী শিক্ষার্থী, অদৃত সরকার।
এই গৌরবময় সাফল্যের দিনে আমি অদৃতের পরিবারের সঙ্গে টেলিফোনে যোগাযোগ করে আমার আন্তরিক অভিনন্দন ও শুভকামনা জানিয়েছি।
অদৃতের এই কৃতিত্ব শুধু তাঁর ব্যক্তিগত নয়—এটি সমগ্র রাজ্যের গর্ব।
আমার প্রার্থনা, ভবিষ্যতেও সে আরও অনবদ্য সাফল্যের নজির গড়ুক এবং পশ্চিমবঙ্গের মুখ উজ্জ্বল করুক।
অদৃত ও তাঁর পরিবারের প্রতি রইল আমার আন্তরিক শুভেচ্ছা ও আশীর্বাদ।
Today, I addressed the children and youths from Tarijote, Balason Colony, Bari Lachka, New Rangia, Tari Balason Colony,Nengtichhara Jitu, Jyotirmoy Colony, Matigara, Baromohan Singh Jote, Kadamtala, villages Atharakhai Mandal, under the Matigara-Naxalbari Constituency who are undergoing the "Personality Development Program," organised by the Surya Foundation.
Surya Foundation has been dedicated to village development for the past 33 years, working in areas like education, culture, health, self-reliance, and the environment.
In Darjeeling alone, 112 cultural centers and 32 youth clubs are active, helping children and youth develop skills and values. Through Sanskar Kendras, public awareness has grown, and children are learning through activities like science experiments, art and craft, jugaad from junk, painting, map reading, and making clay toys, which are boosting their creativity and reasoning abilities. Yoga and physical activities are improving their physical health as well, and they are practicing good health and hygiene, public speaking and actively participating in various social services.
In today's program 82 participants showcased their talents from singing patriotic songs, dances, to sharing their experiences about the Personality Development Camp.
I am very happy to note and applaud the hard-work, sincerity and dedication displayed by these youths for learning various skills, and I am confident they will go on to do great things in life.
আমাদের পশ্চিমবঙ্গ যাতে পশ্চিম পাকিস্তান না হয়ে যায় সেটা দেখার দায়িত্ব এই রাজ্যের সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠ মানুষের।

Pleased to welcome US @VP@JDVance and his family in New Delhi. We reviewed the fast-paced progress following my visit to the US and meeting with President Trump. We are committed to mutually beneficial cooperation, including in trade, technology, defence, energy and people-to-people exchanges. India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership will be a defining partnership of the 21st Century for a better future of our people and the world.
Leaving for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where I will be attending various meetings and programmes. India values our historic relations with Saudi Arabia. Bilateral ties have gained significant momentum in the last decade. I look forward to participating in the 2nd Meeting of the Strategic Partnership Council. I will also be interacting with the Indian community there.

Landed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This visit will strengthen the friendship between India and Saudi Arabia. Eager to take part in the various programmes today and tomorrow.
I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected.
Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice...they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger.
