Kolkata, West Bengal: BJP State president Samik Bhattacharya says, "It is just the beginning, it will take some time. This government has been formed for only 1.5 months...."
I saw people saying โBJP walas are fools, they donโt even know the difference between Hassan Suhrawardy and Huseyn Suhrawardy.โ
Bhai, we know. Hassan was the uncle.
Respectable surgeon, first Muslim VC of Calcutta University, road named after him in 1933. His nephew Huseyn was the one who called Direct Action Day, watched (or enabled) the killing of thousands of Hindus in Calcutta in 1946, and later became Pakistanโs PM.
The road carried the family surname. Thatโs the reality.
Now the same people who are screaming about โwrong Suhrawardyโ todayโฆ what were they saying when Nehru in 1948 personally intervened to protect Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy from a massive tax hit?
Wrote letters to the Finance Minister and the Bengal CM on the same day, calling the normal assessment โextraordinaryโ and warning of political fallout.
That Huseyn โ the Direct Action guy โ got special treatment from the top. Then he packed up and left for Pakistan.
And now, when a BJP-led Kolkata corporation finally renames that avenue after Gopal Patha (the guy who actually saved Hindu lives in โ46), these same voices are up in arms. โDonโt touch the name!โ โItโs an academicโs name!โ
Imagine in Germany if there was still a street called after some uncle of Hitler from the early Nazi days and people started defending it saying โNo no, itโs the respectable uncle, not the nephew.โ How long would that last?
Congress and its ecosystem have this weird soft corner for certain families and legacies. Nehru showed it in โ48. Theyโre showing it again in 2026 by throwing a fit over removing one road name.
Gopal Patha gets his due now. Thatโs what rectification looks like. The rest is just old habits dying hard.
#BREAKING | WB Budget 2026 Unveiled: DA Jumped to 38%, New IIT-IIM, AIIMS & Second Kolkata Airport Announced
Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta (@swapan55) announced a DA hike for govt employees from 18% to 38%, along with a Janjati University, VB-GRAMG rollout and a welfare board for tea workers.
Key infrastructure announcements include a deep-sea port at Dadanpatrabarh, a Hooghly bridge between Kalna and Shantipur, new airports in Purulia, Balurghat and Malda, Ayushman Bharat coverage for over 7 crore people, four new medical colleges and major sports infrastructure expansion.
At the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, Chief Minister Shri @SuvenduWB offered a Sashtanga Pranam before the chair once used by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
A son of West Bengal bowing before the man who taught this soil what fearlessness looks like.
That is the difference between those who respect Bengalโs heroes and those who merely use them.

I was at Falta today along with Shri Sunil Bansal for a meeting of booth agents ahead of the repoll on 21st May, a repoll necessitated by the infamous โDiamond Harbour Modelโ, which sought to subvert the democratic will of the people through intimidation, violence and electoral manipulation.
But what we witnessed today was extraordinary.
The road leading to the meeting venue in Falta was awash with BJP flags. Homes, shops and commercial establishments proudly displayed the BJP symbol. The inauguration of the election office turned into a celebration, and the hall was packed with dedicated booth agents who had volunteered to defend democracy at the grassroots.
To many, this may sound routine. But anyone familiar with Diamond Harbourโs political history knows it is anything but ordinary.
I have travelled to Diamond Harbour many times for organisational meetings. Every single time, I was told that the BJP could never win here because the administration would never allow a free and fair election. Hindus were systematically pushed out of the democratic process through fear, intimidation and orchestrated violence.
This time, however, the people have begun to push back.
The BJP has already won several seats across South 24 Parganas, but the task remains unfinished. The criminal ecosystem that sustained the โDiamond Harbour Modelโ must be dismantled completely so that it never raises its head again.
I was also told that Trinamoolโs local candidate, who fancied himself a movie-style strongman with dramatic dialogues, has virtually disappeared after his oversized security cover was withdrawn. Neither Mamata Banerjee nor her delinquent nephew have stepped out to campaign for their favourite goonda.
West Bengal is witnessing a Hindu renaissance of sorts. People are rediscovering and asserting their civilisational identity and Hindutva convictions that had long remained suppressed. Across the state, one can sense the change, celebrations without fear, renewed confidence, positive expectancy and warm smiles.
The decay and exhaustion of Trinamool now feels inevitable.
A joyous moment for every Indian!
Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.
I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.
@MinPres
Don't tell me I did not warn you!
Fake Aadhar factories will keep tumbling out from West Bengal. The first - discovered in a Trinamool Congress office.
via @republic@BanglaRepublic
In supersession of all previous orders and practices, the Government of West Bengal has mandated the singing of National Song of Bharat - Vande Mataram, during School Assembly Prayers before commencement of Classes in all Schools under the School Education Department across West Bengal, effective immediately.
In order to defeat Shri @SuvenduWB da from Nandigram, Trinamool had a dedicated budget of approx 100 crores !!
Shocking claim has been made by AJUP Nandigram candidate Sahidul Haque ! He also said that each voter were secretly handed over cash and Avishek Banerjee must be called in for questioning.

Bengalโs 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 Indiaโs 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 Bengalโs 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 Bengalโs 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:
โNationalism is not politics but a religion, a creed, a faithโฆ it is the Sanatan Dharma which for us is nationalismโฆโ
This philosophical foundation is not abstract; it is deeply rooted in Bengalโs 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 womenโs 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 BoseโEinstein 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 Indiaโs 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 BJPโs victory, Bengal witnesses a profound homecoming. Because this is also the land of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, one of Indiaโs 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.
This victory is also the revival of Bengalโs deep-rooted civilisational and spiritual traditions. Bengal has time and again led revivalist movements within Hinduism. Even reformist currents that emerged here drew deeply from the Vedic and Upanishadic foundations of Sanatana Dharma. Bankimโs Anandamath must be understood in the context of the Sanyasi Rebellion, a movement that stirred Hindu consciousness. Vande Mataram, born from that work, became the very mantra of Indian nationalism.
In 1892, Chandranath Basu authored Hindutva, the first formal articulation of the idea of Hindutva. In 1905, Abanindranath Tagoreโs Bharat Mata gave a visual soul to the nation.
Bengal also gave rise to cultural and spiritual movements that strengthened Hindu identity, the Hindu Mela, akin in spirit to Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations elsewhere; the Bhakti movement as carried forward by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; and the spiritual renaissance ushered in by Rani Rashmoni through the Dakshineswar temple, where Ramakrishna Paramahansa served.
From there emerged Swami Vivekanandaโs global vision, institutionalised through the Ramakrishna Mission and its headquarters at Belur Math.
That continuum extended into the modern era when A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in 1965, rooted in Mayapur, taking Bengalโs spiritual legacy to the world.
That tradition lives on and today, it finds renewed political expression.
This moment marks the return of hope. It liberates Bengal and its people from the grip of fear, lawlessness, and decay. It promises transparent and responsible leadership, encourages peopleโs participation, and seeks to unleash the aspirations of millions.
Together, West Bengal will rise again, not just as a state, but as an idea. A beacon. A force.
This is not the end of a journey, it is the beginning of Bengalโs renaissance. And this time, its rise will be enduring.
