@narendramodi Ji, Let’s officially declare Netaji Subhas Bose as the First Prime Minister of undivided India #AzadHindGovernment. Hope, one day all MPs from WB will raise this demand inside the parliament.

Kolkata’s iconic Howrah Bridge shines in the colours of the Tricolour on the eve of International Yoga Day 2026.

A symbol of India’s enduring spirit and unity, the illuminated landmark stands as a reminder of the timeless wisdom of yoga that continues to inspire millions across the world.

As the nation prepares to celebrate International Yoga Day, the message is clear: one nation, one spirit, united through wellness, harmony and self-discovery.

Who is Ahmed Hassan Imran?

He is not just a former Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from West Bengal, representing the Trinamool Congress but also a founding member and the head of the West Bengal chapter of SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India), an organization later banned by the Indian government. After SIMI’s ban, many of its members went on to form the Popular Front of India (PFI), which was also subsequently outlawed.

Imran has also been accused of involvement in the 2013 Canning–Naliakhali violence, where more than 100 Hindu homes were set on fire by mobs allegedly led by his followers and others.

In addition to his political activities, Imran served as the India correspondent for Naya Diganta, a Bangladeshi newspaper known to be the mouthpiece of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh.

According to intelligence reports, Ahmed Hassan Imran made frequent visits to Bangladesh after 1977, where he reportedly maintained contact with JMB (Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh) terrorists. In 2001, he attended a seminar on Islamic philosophy organized by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in Howrah. During the event, the son of notorious JMB leader Golam Azam declared that Islam is superior to any nation-state. A year earlier, Imran’s magazine Kalom had hosted another seminar, which was attended by Jamaat operatives Abul Kasem Ali and Abu Jafar.

These associations raise serious questions about his ideological leanings and affiliations.

Notwithstanding Mamata Banerjee has appointed Ahmed Hassan Imran as the Chairman of the West Bengal Minorities Commission. All this for Muslim votes.

Dr @swapan55 inherits a Bengal wrecked by financial ruin (₹8 lac crore debt), anti-corporate policies (7,000 companies have taken flight), and insane mismanagement (₹5,800 crore for Minority Affairs versus ₹80 crore for Science & Tech).

But if anyone can, he can. Best wishes.

When completed, the Siliguri-Delhi bullet train will be a game changer for North Bengal. The quick completion of the project is a challenge for the West Bengal government & it is our determination to meet it successfully. The bullet train will have a big multiplier effect & will spur the demand for a similar link from Kolkata. Thank you @AshwiniVaishnaw & @narendramodi for this show of faith in W.Bengal. @SuvenduWB

[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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UAE comes at a critical moment, with West Asia facing unprecedented instability and global energy markets under severe stress.

The outcomes of the visit are significant for India’s long-term energy security:

• Assurances on uninterrupted crude oil and LNG supplies despite regional disruptions
• Strengthening of the India-UAE strategic energy partnership
• Greater cooperation on strategic petroleum reserves and supply-chain resilience
• Expanded engagement in renewable energy, green hydrogen and petrochemicals
• Reinforcement of India’s position as a trusted strategic partner in the Gulf

At a time when several countries are battling fuel shortages, inflation and supply uncertainty, India has managed relative stability because of Prime Minister Modi’s proactive diplomacy, diversification of energy sourcing and strong ties with key Gulf nations.

The visit also underlines India’s growing geopolitical stature. The UAE’s decision to accord special honours and high-level engagement to Prime Minister Modi reflects the depth of trust between the two nations.

For India, this is not just diplomacy. It is about securing energy access for 140 crore Indians, protecting economic stability and insulating citizens from the worst consequences of global conflict.

Seems her black clothing did not impress the Bar Council of India they have asked the Bar Council of West Bengal to clarify

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

This is totally false.

Not an iota of truth in this.

There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel.

We remain committed to improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Ease of Living’ for our people.

An article I wrote in @ttindia on the recent Assembly election in West Bengal based on my experience as a candidate.

There was a time when appeals by Indian Prime Ministers often meant asking citizens to give up or cut down on basic needs, eat less, consume less, tighten belts, sacrifice aspirations because the system could not deliver enough.

From shortages of food and fuel to rationing and restrictions, generations of Indians were told to adjust to scarcity.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal is fundamentally different.

He is not asking Indians to abandon their dreams or live with deprivation. He is urging citizens to act responsibly and consciously in the larger national interest, conserve fuel where possible, use public transport, avoid waste, support domestic resilience, and strengthen India’s economic security in uncertain global times.

This is not an appeal born out of helplessness. It is a call for collective responsibility from a nation that is stronger, more confident, and capable of shaping its own destiny.

There is a difference between asking people to surrender necessities because the nation is weak, and asking people to make prudent choices because the nation is determined to emerge stronger.

One reflected scarcity. The other reflects maturity, resilience, and national confidence.

Bengal’s Civilisational Resurgence: A Historic Mandate for Nationalism and Renewal

This is not just an electoral victory. In this defining moment, it is a civilisational shift, a turning of the tide, a reclamation long awaited.

West Bengal shall now rise once again and reclaim the glory it was denied for decades by cynical, power-hungry politics. What unfolds from this moment is not merely a change in government, but the dawn of a New Bengal, one that firmly rejects crime, corruption, and communalism, and steps confidently into India’s larger march toward development and growth. From infrastructure to industry, from health to education, from farms to factories and above all, in ensuring safety, security, and dignity for women, Bengal is poised for rapid, tangible transformation.

But beyond policy and progress, this victory marks something deeper, the beginning of healing. The soul of Bengal, bruised and diminished by years of corrosive politics, begins its restoration. This is a land that once nurtured the very idea of Indian nationalism. It was in Bengal’s fertile soil and flowing rivers that Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay found his inspiration and gave us Vande Mataram, the immortal ode to Bharat Mata. It was Bengal’s splendour that moved Rabindranath Tagore to compose Jana Gana Mana, the Morning Song of India.

It is here that the idea of Bharat Mata first took shape, first in the 1873 play Bharat Mata by Kiran Chandra Banerjee, and later immortalised in the evocative painting by Abanindranath Tagore in the early 20th century.

And then came the profound articulation of nationalism by Sri Aurobindo in his historic Uttarpara Speech, a moment that transformed political thought into spiritual conviction. His words continue to echo across time:

“Nationalism is not politics but a religion, a creed, a faith… it is the Sanatan Dharma which for us is nationalism…”

This philosophical foundation is not abstract; it is deeply rooted in Bengal’s lived history. This is the land of reformers and revolutionaries, saints and scientists. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar once led pioneering legislative efforts to protect women, a legacy that must now be reclaimed as Bengal confronts the erosion of women’s dignity in recent times.

This is the land of spiritual giants like Ramakrishna Paramahansa and Swami Vivekananda, whose vision transcended boundaries. It is the land that gave us scientific minds such as Jagadish Chandra Bose, Prafulla Chandra Ray, Satyendra Nath Bose of Bose–Einstein fame, Meghnad Saha, and Upendranath Brahmachari, who discovered the cure for Kala-azar.

And it is the land of sacrifice, of revolutionaries who laid down their lives for India’s freedom: Khudiram Bose, Surya Sen (Master Da), Pritilata Waddedar, Binoy Basu, Badal Gupta, Dinesh Gupta, Bagha Jatin, a lineage of courage that is endless and unmatched.

With the BJP’s victory, Bengal witnesses a profound homecoming. Because this is also the land of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, one of India’s tallest nationalist leaders. He ensured that Bengali Hindus retained their rightful place during Partition and stood firm during the horrors unleashed since Direct Action Day. As the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the ideological forerunner of the BJP, he gave the nation a rallying call that still resonates: One Nation, One Flag, One Prime Minister.

It is extremely unfortunate to have a bigot like @RahulGandhi as the leader of opposition. He has nothing but the identity of his family. This bigot should be kicked out of his own party to keep the democracy healthy.
