Very curious to hear what the govt will say when the "rebel" TMCs and newly joined NCPI MPs are found to be guilty for all the scams that happened in govt departments and offices in the last 15 years.
#Breaking: #WestBengal Finance Minister Dr. Swapan Dasgupta says state government to publish white paper on every department/ministry in the state to expose irregularities.
Govt will also table CAG reports on the state.
Does the C in ISKCON stand for Catering?
Why the hell a religious private cult hired by the government for mid-day food program?
Is this country run by RSS already?
How delulu one must be to even imagine that ISCON will be providing this, the bhog at Mayapur temple, to thousands of below poverty line children across thousands of government schools in Bengal.
ISCKON food is basically God's own Bhog. This is from their Mayapur Temple. Its undoubtedly far better than what's being served currently in schools. Rest with eggs, Govt will indeed take a call. Let's wait, there's no order copy of it either. BJP is very much aware of the criticism.
আমাদের দেশে বড়ো সমস্যা হলো শিশু অপুষ্টি। সেটা উপেক্ষা করে, ধর্মকে কাজে লাগিয়ে ইন্টারন্যাশনাল কর্পোরেটকে দিয়ে নিজেদের এজেন্ডা চালানোর চেষ্টা করছে আরএসএস

No one has asked for segregation. Who asked the government to involve a religious org to provide mid day meal when Bengal has hundreds of MSME org of women who can supply mid day meal? Govt is very much under obligation to remain answerable to the same public who voted for them.
Most people whining about lack of eggs have never run an organization. Veg/Non Veg segregation is a logistical nightmare for a project of this scale.
Also Govt is under no obligation to help you meet your (expensive) protein goals.
If you want eggs/meat please eat them at home.
I want total ban on non veg in Bengal. Saw many urban Bengalis jumping with glee about Iskcon taking over mid day meals, saying why do kids need eggs when they can get sattvic food? Why should only the poor suffer? Eto sattvic khabar shokh jader tader keo niramish gelano hok.
অসাধারণ! ১৪ জন বিজেপি ও ৫৪ জন 'ভালো' তৃণমূলী জেলা পরিষদ সদস্যকে নিয়ে বিনা ভোটাভুটিতে নির্বাচিত হলেন পূর্ব ���েদিনীপুর জেলা পরিষদের বিজেপির সভাধিপতি ও সহ-সভাধিপতি।
"ভক্তরা" আর কোথায় যাবে! শেষমেশ সেই তো তৃণমূল নেতাদের পায়ের তলায় বসেই রাজনীতি করতে হবে! ওদের জন্য সান্ত্বনা পুরস্কার বলতে স্রেফ "নাম বদল"-এর সুখ আর কিছু চুনোপুঁটি নেতাকে ডিম ছুঁড়ে মনের জ্বালা মেটানো। আর হ্যাঁ, সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ কাজ হলো সিপিআই(এম)-কে ট্রোল করা!
নেতাদের কাছে পয়েন্ট বাড়াতে ফেসবুকে ওরা ২৪ ��ণ্টা ট্রোল করার পরিশ্রম করে যাচ্ছে। কিন্তু হায় দুর্ভাগা! ঘুরেফিরে তৃণমূলের সেই নেতারাই আবার ওদের নেতা হয়ে বসছে।
If a corrupt TMC leader needs to face punishment, it should be done legally. Pelting eggs and tomatoes and parading them is dangerous for democracy which this government is turning into a farce.
#WATCH | West Bengal: Locals paraded former Tarakeswar Municipality Chairman and senior TMC leader Sapan Samanta with a garland made of shoes allegedly over corruption allegations. They also made him do sit-ups while holding his ears and pelted eggs and tomatoes at him. (22.06.2026)
The bigger question is, why will a religious organization be a part of any government initiative? West Bengal has hundreds of MSME run by women which could have been entrusted with the responsibility of providing mid day meal under govt. Why an org like ISCON?
The choice of Iskon for mid-day meals in Kolkata is a worrying trend, since they're very clear that they won't serve eggs. Eggs are the cheapest, most complete protein available, and an integral part of our food culture. Is the govt saying that eggs can be thrown but not eaten?
ISKCON is a problematic organization. It's founder believed in very archaic and abhorrent ideologies in regards to race/black African, caste, women empowerment.
Egg or no egg. Such an organization should not be part of any government initiative.
Plus why would a religious organization be part of any government scheme?
This is not the democracy we want. We want the hooligans supported by TMC to be punished legally. Parading them in innerwear, garlanding them with shoes, making them do squats publicly, throwing eggs might look entertaining to some but does nothing to bring justice.
Bengal politics at its worst.
CPI(M) workers were killed for refusing to bow before TMC goons. Today, local TMC leaders are being garlanded with slippers and paraded in public.
Come back, Left. For the return of a civilized political culture, a secular society, and democratic politics, the Left is indispensable.

Forcefully, the government is introducing vegeterianism to children while this same party paraded around with fish in hand during the election campaign. I hope Bengalis will be happy when they will have to say good bye to their beloved chicken roll and biryani during Durga Puja.
As per #BengalFinanceMinister henceforth the #MidDayMeal will be given by #ISCKON. What we were saying since yesterday that not a single #Egg will be delivered! This is a concerted effort to introduce vegetarianism & we are happy that #Qurbani for Muslims have been banned.

People should be really mindful to call harassment as "love." It's not a jilted lover doing things, it's a man with entitlement treating a woman as his property and maligning her character. It's one of millions of crimes that keep happening to women everyday in this country.
A couple and their daughter, whose wedding was scheduled for June 24, died by suicide in #Mysuru district, allegedly due to harassment by a youth
The couple's elder daughter is married and lives in the village. Sources said after Rakshita's marriage was fixed, a man allegedly began pressuring her to marry him.

"Pray for husband?" What if the wife is atheist? Or a woman is only marriage material only if she's "pious", even if the husband is horrible, abusive or unfaithful? Indian judiciary is full of misogynist judges.
A woman is expected to keep her marriage vows, care for her husband physically and emotionally, pray for him and seek his good and in case she does not perform these 'pious' duties towards her husband, then future of their child is 'unsafe' with her, held a Pune Family Court recently.
