Traveling to the holy land of Tarakeswar for Lord MahadevтАЩs Darshan is now smoother and highly convenient, with the launch of the Mahadev Express Bus Services!
Connecting Tarakeswar daily with Kolkata, Bardhaman, Kharagpur, Bankura, and Digha through 5 dedicated daily buses, this service is set to transform travel for pilgrims and residents alike.
It was a pleasure to welcome Hon'ble Union Agriculture Minister; Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji to Kolkata for a comprehensive review of our StateтАЩs Agricultural and Rural Development roadmap.
Our discussions today mark a significant milestone in the journey of West BengalтАЩs transformation. Under the visionary guidance of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, and through our collaborative 'Double Engine' approach, we are committed to accelerating the pace of development across every district.
I am particularly grateful to the Union Government for their unwavering support in strengthening our rural economy. TodayтАЩs decisions including the approval for One Lakh new homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin) and an allocated budget of тВ╣8,508 crore for the effective implementation of Viksit Bharat initiatives will provide a massive impetus to our infrastructure and welfare goals.
Our commitment to our farmers is absolute. With the development of the Malda Clean Plant facility, the modernization of the Chinsurah Rice Research Station into a Centre of Excellence and new projects focused on 'Rice Bowl' value chains, we are laying the groundwork to make West Bengal the 'Seed Hub' of Eastern India. Furthermore, our joint efforts in scaling up the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, accelerating the Digital Agriculture Mission, and promoting natural farming will ensure that the fruits of progress reach the grassroots level.
Together with the Union Government, we are ready to build a new, prosperous and self-reliant Bengal. We are marching forward with renewed vigor to ensure that our State sets new benchmarks in growth and development for the nation.

Patriots,
Soon, the day will come when devotees from across the world will travel to the Republic of Balochistan on Balochistan's own visa and fly with Balochistan's national airline to bow their heads before the sacred shrine of #MaBhavani#HinglajMata. It will be more than a journey it will be a moment of faith, hope, and the reunion of millions with one of our oldest shared spiritual heritages.
Hinglaj Mata Mandir is not just a temple it is a timeless symbol of faith, peace, and the shared civilizational heritage of Balochistan and Bharat. For centuries, this sacred shrine has welcomed devotees with dignity, reminding us that true civilizations are built on respect, compassion, and harmony among all faiths.
While Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Christians continue to face reports of abductions, violence, and persecution in Pakistan, the people of the Republic of Balochistan remain committed to protecting places of worship, safeguarding religious freedom, and ensuring that minorities can live with honor, security, and equal dignity.
A nation's true strength is not measured by the size of its army, but by how it treats its most vulnerable communities and how faithfully it preserves the sacred heritage entrusted to it.
Hinglaj Mata Mandir stands as a message to the world that peace is stronger than hatred, coexistence is stronger than division, and protecting every faith is the foundation of a just and civilized society.
May this sacred place continue to unite hearts across borders and inspire a future built on mutual respect, tolerance, and lasting harmony.

West Bengal will have nothing to do with the Suhrawardys. Nothing in this glorious land should bear their name. Irrespective of which member of the family a road, institution, or public place may have been named after, Bengal owes the Suhrawardy legacy no tribute.
The Congress ecosystem is predictably outraged by the renaming of a road associated with the Suhrawardy name. But what exactly are they defending?
If the reference is to Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Suhrawardy (1884тАУ1946), the record is hardly one that independent India is obliged to celebrate. A distinguished surgeon and former Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, he was also closely associated with the British establishment. In 1932, he was knighted by the Crown for saving the life of Bengal Governor Stanley Jackson after an assassination attempt by revolutionary Bina Das. He later entered politics through the Muslim League and served as its nominee in the Bengal Legislative Assembly, renouncing his knighthood only at the partyтАЩs direction. His daughter subsequently chose Pakistan, where she served as a politician and diplomat.
If the Suhrawardy name is remembered in Bengal today, however, it is above all because of Huseyn Suhrawardy, HassanтАЩs nephew and one of the most controversial political figures of the pre-Partition era. As Premier of Bengal and a leading Muslim League politician, he presided over the province during the horrors of Direct Action Day on August 16, 1946. The Muslim LeagueтАЩs call for Direct Action unleashed unprecedented communal violence in Calcutta, leaving thousands dead, countless families devastated, and Bengal scarred for generations. The carnage became a grim precursor to Partition and earned Huseyn Suhrawardy the enduring epithet of the тАЬButcher of Bengal.тАЭ
His subsequent political journey only reinforced where his loyalties lay. After Partition, Huseyn Suhrawardy moved to Pakistan, rose to the highest levels of power, and went on to serve as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. The broader Suhrawardy familyтАЩs political choices similarly reflected an alignment with Pakistan rather than India.
That is the historical memory associated with the Suhrawardy name in Bengal. No amount of selective revisionism can erase it. Whether one chooses to focus on a British-knighted Muslim League politician or on the man widely held responsible for one of the darkest chapters in BengalтАЩs history before becoming Prime Minister of Pakistan, there is little reason for free India to continue honouring the family in its public spaces.
The decision to rename the road after Shri Gopal Mukherjee, popularly known as Gopal Patha, is not merely an administrative act. It is a correction of a historical anomaly. Free India should honour those who stood with the people of this land, not those associated with colonial privilege, the Muslim League, and the politics that culminated in Partition.
The Congress can protest all it wants. Bengal has moved on. The Suhrawardys belong to history, not to its public spaces.
