Deeply touched Harsha... Thank you... I recall that tour, England in 1990... Will look to start afresh somewhere... Age is just a number, indeed is... #NotFinishedYet

Since my first cricket tour, the booming voice of @lpsahi has been a companion. He never tired, didn't let anything come in the way of a deadline, chased a story till it gave up. To me @ttindia's sports pages meant Lokendra Pratap Sahi. Well done. Be proud. Tough act to follow.

Assuming it's not doctored, how can the @BJP4India ever even be happy taking her support? @swapan55

[Smita Deshmukh🇮🇳 @smitadeshmukh]

How the TMC was preparing their strategy if they had won assembly polls.
A video of TMC's Lok Sabha MP June Malia is gone viral in which she is asking TMC workers to take revenge by assaulting BJP workers: 'On the 5th, you all will play the DJ. The kind of insult they have inflicted on the people, the way they have insulted Didi day after day. Everyone has seen it, right? The young boys and girls who are here, you have seen the last poster they made of Didi, right? We will take revenge for that. From the 5th, we will give it back to them by beating them up.'
Hope @SuvenduWB files a case against her 😡

Timely post @swapan55 . There can be nothing worse than the @BJP4India 's washing machine getting into action. Can't be 'good' #TMC n 'bad' #TMC.

[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.

#SuvenduAdhikari's confidence is nothing short of mind-boggling... Many hours ago he said he was ahead of @MamataOfficial , but would fall behind during certain rounds before surging ahead!! Try beating that... #Electiontresult2026

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

Assembly Election Results 2026 | Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has lost the Bhabanipur seat to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. Banerjee had first won the constituency in 2011, when the All India Trinamool Congress defeated the Left Front to form the government. She retained the seat in 2016 and returned again via a bypoll in 2021.

Earlier in the day, after both leaders reached the counting venue at Sakhawat Memorial Government Girls’ High School on Lord Sinha Road in Kolkata, Banerjee alleged she was attacked and claimed CCTV cameras had been switched off. She also said no party agents were allowed inside the counting centre, after TMC leaders alleged one of their counting agents had been forced out.

Just hope #Calcutta returns to being a safe city for women & big-ticket industries drop anchor in #Bengal ...

[Indrajit @IndrajitGhose6]

@lpsahi Sahi ji, Bengal deserved this. 35 years of CPM rule, industries knocked out. Followed by 15 years of TMC, filled with anti social acts, rape, molestation, turning Bengal into mini Bangladesh. This was in-evitable + the master strategies of BJP, played a huge role.

[Lokendra Pratap Sahi @lpsahi]

@MamataOfficial defeated!!!

[Lokendra Pratap Sahi @lpsahi]

Reality: Right now, @MamataOfficial is well behind #SubhenduA !!!

[Lokendra Pratap Sahi @lpsahi]

Small correction @virsanghvi ... Not just Bengalis, but most of those in #Bengal.

[vir sanghvi @virsanghvi]

Sharp Edge: Mamata Banerjee is a liberal heroine outside of Bengal. But within Bengal there has always been anger over TMC corruption & goondagiri. Mamata’s secularism is seen as opportunism
This election, the Bengali anger finally spilled over .

#WATCH | Kolkata | West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says, "More than 100 seats BJP looted. The Election Commission is the BJP's commission. I complained to the CO and also Manoj Agrawal, but they are not doing anything. Do you think this is a victory? It is an immoral victory, not a moral victory. Whatever the Election Commission has done, along with the Central Forces and the PM & Home Minister, is totally illegal. It is loot, loot, loot. We will bounce back."
