Deeply saddened by the tragic fire incident in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, which has claimed several precious lives.
My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families as they endure this profound loss. Praying for the speedy recovery of those injured and for strength, courage, and solace to all those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.
सांसद अभिषेक बनर्जी जी पर सोनारपुर में हुआ हमला बेहद निंदनीय है।
एक सांसद पर हमला सिर्फ़ एक व्यक्ति पर हमला नहीं - यह उस जनता पर है जिसने उन्हें चुना, और उस लोकतंत्र पर है जो हम सबकी साझी विरासत है।
यह BJP की बदले की राजनीति का घिनौना रूप है। राजनीतिक मतभेद कभी हिंसा का कारण नहीं बन सकते।
केंद्र और पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार - दोनों दोषियों पर तत्काल कार्रवाई करें, और यह सुनिश्चित करें कि कोई भी जन-प्रतिनिधि, किसी भी दल का हो, अपनी सुरक्षा को लेकर चिंतित न रहे।
अभिषेक जी, मेरी संवेदनाएँ आपके और आपके परिवार के साथ हैं। आप जल्द स्वस्थ हों।
From homes to hawker stalls, the poor are paying the price of political arrogance. Bengal does not believe in bulldozer politics. The land of Tagore and Netaji cannot be ruled through fear, force, and demolition drives against ordinary citizens.
What we are witnessing today is an attack on the dignity of the people of Bengal- daily wage workers, street vendors, small shopkeepers, and struggling families who have built their lives brick by brick. The massive eviction drive around Howrah Station, the unrest and anger erupting on the streets of Tiljala and Park Circus, and the growing desperation among those suddenly stripped of shelter and livelihood expose a government more obsessed with optics than humanity.
A government that demolishes first and listens later has forgotten the very spirit of Bengal. Real progress is measured by how a state treats its weakest citizens, not by how quickly it can erase them.
Bulldozers cannot become the language of governance in a state built on culture, compassion, and resistance to oppression.
Kya huaaa, tera vaadaaaaa??!
Absurd how Mr @SuvenduWB has ALREADY STARTED GOING BACK ON HIS PROMISES to the people of Bengal! Isn't it time to act?
Knock, knock @BJP4Bengal -

HSD (diesel) prices (in Rs per litre):
Delhi 90.67 (+3.00)
Kolkata 95.13 (+3.11) 🤔
Double Engine, Double Jumla 🤡

PEOPLE of WEST BENGAL

BJP + ECI + ED + IT + CBI + NIA + CAPF + Governor + 20 Union Ministers + 10 CMs + Prime Minister + Respected Rashtrapati Ji + Godi Media.
When the entire establishment lines up against Bengal, Bengal stands stronger.
Bring it on!

I am shocked and deeply concerned by the sudden news of the resignation of Shri C. V. Ananda Bose, the Governor of West Bengal.
The reasons behind his resignation are not known to me at this moment. However, given the prevailing circumstances, I would not be surprised if the Governor has been subjected to some pressure from the Union Home Minister to serve certain political interests on the eve of the forthcoming State Assembly elections.
Union Home Minister just informed me that Shri R.N. Ravi is being appointed as Governor of West Bengal. He never consulted with me as per the established convention in this regard.
Such actions undermine the spirit of the Constitution of India and strike at the very foundation of our federal structure. The Centre must respect the principles of cooperative federalism and refrain from taking unilateral decisions that erode democratic conventions and the dignity of States.
প্রবীণ রাজনীতিবিদ মুকুল রায়ের সহসা প্রয়াণের সংবাদে বিচলিত ও মর্মাহত বোধ করছি। তিনি আমার দীর্ঘদিনের রাজনৈতিক সহকর্মী ছিলেন, বহু রাজনৈতিক সংগ্রামের সহযোদ্ধা ছিলেন। তাঁর বিদায়ের খবর আমাকে বেদনাহত করেছে।
প্রয়াত মুকুল রায় তৃণমূল কংগ্রেসের প্রতিষ্ঠা-লগ্ন থেকে দলের জন্য প্রাণপাত করেছেন। তিনি কেন্দ্রীয় মন্ত্রী হয়েছিলেন, দলের সর্বস্তরে তাঁর গ্রহণযোগ্যতা ছিল। পরে তিনি ভিন্ন পথে যান, আবার ফিরেও আসেন। বাংলার রাজনীতিতে তাঁর অবদান এবং সাংগঠনিক দক্ষতার কথা ভোলার নয়। দলমত নির্বিশেষে তাঁর অভাব অনুভব করবে রাজনৈতিক মহল।
এই অভিজ্ঞ নেতা ও সহকর্মীর পরিবার ও অনুরাগীদের প্রতি আমার আন্তরিক সমবেদনা জানাই। শুভ্রাংশুকে বলব, মন শক্ত করো: এই সংকটে আমরা তোমার সঙ্গে আছি।
Shocked again!
Yet again, our Prime Minister aggressively displays his cultural insensitivity to great figures of Bengal. Today is the janmatithi of Yugavatara (God's incarnation in our age) Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva. While trying to hail the great saint on this occasion, our PM added an unprecedented and improper prefix to the great saint's name, “Swami”!
As is well known, Sri Ramakrishna was widely revered as Thakur (literally, God). While his ascetic disciples constituted the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission after their Master's demise, and those monks were then called “Swami” as per Indian traditions, the Master, the Acharya, himself continued to be referred to as Thakur. The prefix “Swami” was meant for his disciples in the Ramakrishna Order; but the holy trinity of the Order remained Thakur–Ma–Swamiji. Thakur is Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva, Ma is Ma Sarada, and Swamiji is Swami Vivekananda.
I urge the Prime Minister kindly not to discover new prefixes and suffixes for the great Renaissance figures of Bengal who shaped modern India.
রাজবংশী সমাজের মহান পথপ্রদর্শক, রায়সাহেব ঠাকুর পঞ্চানন বর্মার জন্মবার্ষিকীতে এই প্রবাদপ্রতিম মনীষীকে জানাই আমার বিনম্র শ্রদ্ধা ও প্রণাম।
রাজবংশী সংস্কৃতির বিকাশ এবং ঠাকুর পঞ্চানন বর্মার স্মৃতিকে চিরস্মরণীয় করতে আমাদের সরকার দায়বদ্ধ। তাঁর সম্মানে আমরা অনেকগুলি পদক্ষেপ করেছি।
আমরা কোচবিহারে পঞ্চানন বর্মা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় প্রতিষ্ঠা করেছি এবং তাঁর জন্মস্থান খলিসামারির পুণ্যভূমিতে এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের দ্বিতীয় ক্যাম্পাস চালু করা হয়েছে। তাঁর বাসভবন সংস্কার করে আমরা ‘পঞ্চানন বর্মা সংগ্রহশালা ও গবেষণাকেন্দ্র’ নামে একটি মিউজিয়াম গড়ে তুলেছি এবং সেখানে তাঁর একটি পূর্ণাবয়ব মূর্তি স্থাপন করা হয়েছে। তাঁর জন্মতিথিকে আমরা রাজ্যে সরকারি ছুটি হিসেবে ঘোষণা করেছি।
এ প্রসঙ্গে বলি, রাজবংশী ভাইবোনদের সামগ্রিক উন্নতির লক্ষে আমাদের সরকার নিরলস কাজ করে যাচ্ছে।
কোচবিহারের ঐতিহ্যশালী ''নারায়ণী সেনা'র স্মরণে রাজ্য পুলিশে বিশেষ ‘নারায়ণী’ ব্যাটেলিয়ন গঠন করা হয়েছে।
রাজবংশী ভাষাকে সরকারি ভাষার স্বীকৃতি দেওয়া হয়েছে। এর পাশাপাশি কামতাপুরী, সাঁওতালী, কুরুখ, কুড়মালী, নেপালী, হিন্দি, উর্দু, পাঞ্জাবী ও তেলুগু ভাষাকেও আমরা সরকারি মর্যাদা দিয়েছি। সাদরি ভাষার মানোন্নয়নেও আমাদের বিশেষ উদ্যোগ রয়েছে। রাজবংশী সমাজের কৃষ্টি রক্ষায় আমরা রাজবংশী ডেভেলপমেন্ট বোর্ড, রাজবংশী কালচারাল একাডেমি, রাজবংশী ভাষা একাডেমি এবং কামতাপুরী ভাষা একাডেমি গঠন করেছি। প্রায় ২০০টি রাজবংশী স্কুলকে সরকারি অনুমোদন দেওয়া হয়েছে।
কোচ-রাজবংশী বীরত্বের প্রতীক বীর চিলারায়ের স্মরণে কোচবিহারের বাবুরহাটে তাঁর একটি ১৫ ফুট উঁচু ব্রোঞ্জ মূর্তি স্থাপন করা হয়েছে। তাঁর জন্মদিনে উত্তরবঙ্গে সরকারি ছুটি ঘোষণা করেছে আমাদের সরকার।
কোচ-কামতাপুরী-রাজবংশী ঐতিহ্যের গুরুত্ব বিচার করে সমগ্র কোচবিহার শহরকে ‘হেরিটেজ সিটি’ হিসেবে মর্যাদা দেওয়া হয়েছে।
Election Commission of India is celebrating National Voters' Day today, and what a tragic farce that is! The Commission -- working as His Master's Voice-- is busy now in snatching away people's voting rights, and they have the temerity to celebrate Voters' Day! I am deeply distressed and disturbed by their conduct today.
In stead of complying with the Hon'ble Supreme Court's verdict and working as per rules and norms to provide and protect the democratic voting rights of people, ECI is finding newer and newer pretexts in the name of logical discrepancy to harass the people and try to deny them and take away from them their electoral rights! On behalf of BJP, their Master, they are busy in bulldozing the Opposition and destroying the foundation of Indian democracy, and yet they have the guts to celebrate Voters' Day!!
ECI, you are torturing people today in an unprecedented manner.More than 130 persons have died because of your tortures. Can you summon-- the way you are doing-- persons above 85, 90, 95 years of age, and even physically challenged persons to physically appear before you to prove their credentials? The stress caused by this kind of illegal pressure is leading to series of suicides and deaths, and yet you are continuing to do this at the behest of your political masters. You have made it NRC trial for citizens, including particularly those belonging to minorities, scheduled castes and tribes.
Elections are festivals of democracy. But your partisan conduct and unilateral illegalities, dispatch of micro- observers to compound the harassment, your push to people to jaws of death have been destroying our democracy. Today, you have no right to celebrate the Voters' Day!
Despite a clear order from the SC and its own formal communication, the @ECISVEEP has failed to release and publish the list of LOGICAL DISCREPANCIES that it was mandated to publish by the 24th January- today in all Gram Panchayats and municipal wards.
The same software that allegedly assessed and analysed over 7 crore enumeration forms and miraculously detected “logical discrepancies” within one hour on 16 December immediately after the draft rolls were published now seems to have lost its logic, speed, credibility and confidence.
Three obvious questions therefore remains stark and unanswered:
1️⃣ WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ECI TRYING TO HIDE ?
2️⃣ If DISCREPANCIES could be identified in one hour, why does it take days to DISCLOSE them?
3️⃣ Is the @ECISVEEP looking for LOGIC or hiding the DISCREPANCIES?
When BJP’s propaganda ecosystem starts recycling four-month old notifications to whip up fake excitement and glorify the EC, it exposes just one truth : Mr. SIR’s strategy hasn’t JUST FAILED, it has COLLAPSED in full public view.
Despite deploying every weapon at their command- The Union government’s machinery, EC, ED, CBI, IT, Central Forces, a captive media and even convenient pockets of the judiciary - the BJP still knows BENGAL WILL BEAT THEM AGAIN and return with a bigger mandate than 2021.
So here’s my simple question to @BJP4India leaders:
Do you dare accept my challenge or will you keep hiding behind stale propaganda and state power?
Happy to share that under our Student Credit Card Scheme, the number of sanctioned cases has crossed today the landmark figure of 1,00,000.
In this flagship scheme of our Government, the students are provided education loan up to Rs 10 lakh at a very nominal interest rate. The interest subvention/ subsidy amount is entirely borne by the State Government.
The scheme will continue to assist the budding talents in reaching their desired goals.
Wish all our students a very prosperous future!
Time has been sought for a delegation of 10 MPs. They are representatives ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, unlike the CEC and ECs who are hand-picked by the Government of India. These selective leaks portraying the EC as “transparent” and “cordial” are nothing but a manufactured facade.
If the @ECISVEEP is genuinely transparent, why is it scared to face just 10 MPs ? Hold the meeting openly. TELECAST IT LIVE and answer the five straightforward, legitimate questions that the AITC will place before you.
Is the Election Commission willing to prove its transparency or does it only function behind closed doors ?
