Does @SuvenduWB want to house-arrest a former Chief Minister?
“Don’t step out. I will make arrangements so you can’t.”
That is not political rhetoric. That is a chilling THREAT from someone who controls the machinery of the state.
A NEW LOW in Indian politics!
@SuvenduWB, while seated in a government office, has brazenly THREATENED me, publicly declaring that he will ensure I cannot even leave my home.
I call upon the Hon’ble President of India, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, and the people of India: Is this the India envisioned by our Constitution?
A sitting Chief Minister, sworn to uphold that very Constitution, openly threatens to curtail the freedom of the Chairperson of the principal opposition party, @AITCofficial.
The words were unambiguous: “I will ensure you cannot leave the house.”
What exactly does that mean? House arrest? Intimidation? Political persecution? Who gave you the authority to decide who gets to move freely in a constitutional democracy?
Perhaps he is confusing me with those known to bow before authoritarianism. That, I must say, is a grave misreading.
This is bigger than Mamata Banerjee. This is about the kind of India @BJP4India wants to create - where political opponents are threatened, dissent is punished, and constitutional rights become privileges granted by those in power.
INDIA IS WITNESSING A DANGEROUS AUTHORITARIAN MOMENT.
And history offers one enduring lesson: power may intimidate for a while, but arrogance eventually answers to the people.
Their arrogance is loud.
Their desperation is louder.
Their days are numbered.
BIZARRE. “Don’t step out into the streets, I will make arrangements so you can’t step out.” The Bengal chief minister issues a warning to 3 time CM @MamataOfficial . Audacious and open threats and intimidation by those with access to state power. In a democracy, governments defeat opponents politically; they do not threaten to imprison them in their homes. Will the media cover what’s going on in Bengal?
All Opposition MPs & Leaders - I am staying night in my district HQ at circuit house which official accommodation for MP . Received call at 9:47 pm from administration asking that I should vacate my room. They are that desperate to keep us out of area !
A woman MP @MahuaMoitra is ordered out of a Circuit House in the middle of the night.
And tomorrow, the BJP leaders will stand before the country and speak about women’s empowerment.
You cannot celebrate Nari Shakti on a stage and use the power of the State to intimidate a woman who challenges you.
That is not authority. That is insecurity @SuvenduWB.
And when a government becomes so insecure that even basic dignity becomes political, it is the government that diminishes itself, not the woman it seeks to humiliate.
Our supporter from Indas PS, Bankura district, West Bengal, Abdul Hafiz was beaten up by BJP goons for visiting nearby school as a part of #SchoolThikKaro campaign. His father was also brutally beaten up.
@WBPolice - Are you still Police of West Bengal or already migrated to becoming Police of @BJP4Bengal? Let us know through your actions, we will accordingly instruct the Cockroaches of Bengal.
@Cockroachisback@abhijeet_dipke
BIRJU KEOT.
His name was not in the FIR.
He was still picked up by the @WBPolice .
He died in custody.
His family alleges brutal police assault.
READ THAT AGAIN.
When the State can take a man into custody despite his name not appearing in the FIR - and he does not come out alive - the question is no longer merely about law & order. It is about the rule of law itself.
Under @BJP4Bengal, allegations of police excesses and political violence are becoming harder to dismiss as isolated incidents.
Who protects the citizen when the police become the source of fear?
How long will we pretend that this is the “Parivartan” people were promised?
#BhoyInBhorshaOut
Today, our Hon'ble Chairperson Smt. @MamataOfficial addressed several important issues.
Under her guidance and leadership, All India Trinamool Congress will continue to serve people, stand by them through thick & thin, and ensure that every party worker remains dedicated to the welfare, progress, and aspirations of the people of Bengal and the nation.
এ কি সেই একই???
মমতাদির বাড়ি থেকে বেরোলাম। মিডিয়ার প্রতিনিধিরা দাঁড়াতে বললেন। দাঁড়ালাম। সেই সময় একজন ডিম ছুঁড়ল। অন্যজন ছবি তুলছিল। বাঁচোখটা অল্পের জন্য রক্ষা পেল। পুলিশ ধরল না। জামাই আদর করে পালাতে দিল। আমি ভেতরে গেলাম। মাথা ধুলাম। নেত্রী ও নেতাদের জানালাম। পুলিশে অভিযোগ পাঠালাম। কল্যাণদা সাংবাদিকদের যা বলার বললেন। খবর ও ছবি এলো আজও কজন দুষ্কৃতী ডিম, পাথর নিয়ে মোড়ে দাঁড়িয়ে। আমি বললাম, ওরা যা পারে করুক। গাড়িতে উঠব না। মোড় অবধি হেঁটেই যাব। হেঁটে গেলাম। জয় বাংলা শ্লোগান দিলেন কিছু কর্মী। মোড়ে গুন্ডাগুলো সরে গেল। ওখানে দাঁড়িয়ে আবার সাংবাদিকদের সঙ্গে কথা বললাম। তারপর গাড়িতে উঠেছি।
শুনলাম ডিমছোঁড়া বাঁদরটা নাকি মমতাদির বাড়ি সিআইডি রেডের সময় পুলিশের উইটনেস ছিল। সিজার লিস্টেও নাকি ওরই সই। তাহলে কি ওই বাড়িকে ঘিরে হামলার রেইকি করানো হয়েছিল? Z ক্যাটাগরির নিরাপত্তার প্রাক্তন মুখ্যমন্ত্রীর বাড়ি ঘিরে এসব কী?
আজ যারা আক্রমণ করল, গ্রেপ্তার চাই।
ওই ছেলেটাই উইটনেস হিসেবে ঢুকেছিল কিনা, তদন্ত হোক। যদি তাই হয়, তাহলে মমতাদি নিরাপদ নন। তাঁর বাড়ি ঘিরে কোনো খারাপ পরিকল্পনা চলছে।
আমি ডিম ভালোবাসি। এসব ছ্যাঁচড়ামি করে আমাকে নড়ানো যাবে না।
His mask & his wig both come off - @SudipBAITC told us he was in Apollo Kolkata with a tummy bug when we suddenly saw him on tv in Delhi in Bhupinder Yadav home. Dada pls change your X handle to @SudipBJPBTeam at least. Dont’ use our name.
Big trouble for the BJP’s plan for Kakoli Camp.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi says there is nothing called a separate Group.
Either you join the BJP with 2/3 MP’s or you risk being disqualified.
Traitor TMC lawmakers don’t know law. Constitution 91st Amendment 2003 removed provision for split/ separate bloc. Number of MPs is irrelevant- 2/3 of original political party has to MERGE with another party. All 19 traitors need to resign & contest on BJP ticket.
If this is a reflection of the anger of the people, then why did the BJP Mandal President of ward number 29 of Sonarpur North join the protest against Abhishek Banerjee? Slowly the cat is coming out of the cage. The identities of those who attacked Shri Abhishek Banerjee yesterday are being revealed. And it seems that all of them are active leaders and workers of BJP #EverybodyShare @abhishekaitc@MamataOfficial@AITCofficial@yadavakhilesh@RahulGandhi
STORY | Congress condemns 'attack' on Abhishek Banerjee, slams BJP's politics of 'vendetta'
The Congress on Saturday strongly condemned the "attack" on TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee in West Bengal's Sonarpur and said the deliberate lack of adequate police protection for a prominent opposition leader speaks volumes about the BJP's politics of "vendetta and persecution".

The brutal assault on an elected MP Shri Abhishek Banerjee (@abhishekaitc) is highly condemnable. Mobocracy under any government is a sign of sheer failure of electoral democracy. Protests must be peaceful & legal; law and order must be restored. This is definitely not “Ayiner Sashon”. Democracy is at stake!
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IN BENGAL The Lok Sabha Leader of the second largest Opposition party @AITCofficial went to visit the family of a person murdered by BJP in post poll violence. @abhishekaitc was lynched and attacked by a few BJP supporters. Life at risk. Where are the police ? Why was security withdrawn on the day of counting ? Let the Home Minister answer
