Itahar bore witness to a tidal wave of people, powerful enough to humble any despotic or oppressive force that dares cast a hostile glance at Bengal. This is the unassailable strength of a people united in defence of their democratic voice, their constitutional right to vote, their culture, their identity, and their mother tongue.
Those intoxicated by arrogance, who toy with the lives of ordinary citizens, drive the vulnerable to despair, and wield constitutional bodies as instruments of humiliation and intimidation, will soon be swept away by the overwhelming mandate of ten crore resolute and proud people.
The era of exercising unchecked power without accountability is over. @BJP4India, count your days. The writing is clearly on the wall.
Jotoi Koro Hamla,
Abar Jitbe Bangla!
The Election Commission was asked to bend. Instead, it is willing to crawl. Through SIR, the ECI has given form and legitimacy to BJP’s conspiracy to steal Bengal’s vote and strip people of their constitutional right.
New categories are being invented overnight to justify mass deletion of voters. Citizens who are alive, healthy, and fully accounted for are being marked as “dead.” In doing so, the Commission is questioning our right to vote, our right to belong, our right to dignity, and our right to exist without suspicion.
The intent is to muzzle Bengal’s voice. But what I witnessed in Baruipur today was a thunderous, democratic roar of defiance. Thousands spoke as one, proclaiming, “Jotoi Koro Hamla, Abar Jitbe Bangla.”
Those plotting to unmap Bengal’s people from the electoral roll will soon find themselves unmapped from Bengal’s political landscape. The countdown has begun. Wait and watch.
