Agree. But do not absolve those resigning from Rajya Sabha. TRAITORS ALL. They will come back to Rajya Sabha on BJP tickets, as the composition of the Bengal Assembly has changed. Just wait a few months.
Fair-weather “politicians” who enjoy the fruits of collective success but abandon the collective the moment challenges arise, reveal a horrible MORAL & ETHICAL DEFICIT. Those who have resigned their seats have at least been true to the mandate. But those who seek power without loyalty, office without conviction, and personal advantage without accountability are embarrassingly shameful and disgraceful. Do the right thing : RESIGN YOUR SEAT. Contest on a new symbol. You win on a symbol and a leader but will stay with the party only as long as it wins and want to leave as soon as it loses. You only want the fruits of victory and none of the hardship of defeat. Is this what public life is about ?! NO. IT IS NOT.

Mamata Banerjee had proposed Kolkata Eye in 2011 itself but the Kolkata Port had refused to allocate land
⚓️HOOGHLY RIVERFRONT FACELIFT – KOLKATA EYE & 60-FT DURGA IDOL UNVEILED⚓️ 🎡 Kolkata is officially set to welcome a spectacular new skyline landmark, the Kolkata Eye, alongside a monumental 60-foot permanent Durga idol right on the Howrah ghats. This will be part of a massive riverfront modernization layout spearheaded by the Kolkata Port Trust. 🌉 The state-of-the-art Kolkata Eye observation wheel will soar 250 feet above the Hooghly River near Howrah Station. Featuring 30 to 36 automated, air-conditioned passenger capsules, the structure will offer stunning panoramic views of the twin cities and the iconic Howrah Bridge. Uniquely, a 300-metre floating wooden bridge will link the giant wheel directly to an active commercial entertainment hub. 🔱 The companion landmark features a colossal 60-foot permanent Maa Durga idol erected on the waterfront to celebrate Bengal's rich spiritual heritage. By pairing cultural legacy with world-class engineering, the administration aims to create a low-carbon eco-tourism corridor before the peak festive seasons begin. #KolkataEye #DurgaIdol #RiverfrontDevelopment

This is indeed very suspicious and serious. It further strengthens the strong suspicion of EVM manipulation. It is further strengthened by the fact that ECI is unwilling to allow independent experts to examine the software in them
Replying to @Kamru_Choudhury
4k EVMs from 10 constituencies of S 24 parganas dist destroyed in a fire at the district HQs. The blaze was first noticed on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. How did it reach the 7th and 8th floors without affecting the floors in between #NaradaCM business-standard.com/india-…

इससे पहले कभी किसी ने लोकसभा में अपनी पार्टी के लिए दो-तिहाई बहुमत जुटाने की ऐसी कोशिश नहीं की, जैसी केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री इन दिनों संसद के मानसून सत्र से पहले बेचैनी से कर रहे हैं। स्वयंभू चाणक्य को 17 अप्रैल, 2026 को अपमानित होना पड़ा था, जब NDA आवश्यक दो-तिहाई बहुमत नहीं जुटा पाई और परिसीमन से जुड़ा खतरनाक संविधान संशोधन विधेयक अच्छे अंतर से खारिज हो गया। उस करारी हार से तिलमिलाए हुए, वे अब विपक्षी दलों को तोड़ने और लोकतंत्र का पूरा मजाक बनाने में व्यस्त हैं। लड़ाई जारी है। उनके दुर्भावनापूर्ण मंसूबे सफल नहीं होने चाहिए और सफल नहीं होंगे।

Political vendetta shamelessly timed! EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME as @AITCofficial Chairperson @MamataOfficial was having a meeting today in Delhi with Mrs Sonia Gandhi, CID was forcefully trying to enter the AITC party HQ adjoining residence in Kolkata. First loot vote, now loot files of a political rival. Democracy ? Main entrance overloaded with CRPF.

People become hawkers and street vendors to earn a livelihood and support their families. Today, the lives of these poor people are under threat. Since the formation of the new BJP government, alongside various new initiatives, a harsh drive to evict hawkers has also begun. In protest against this, I have submitted a written representation to the Hon'ble Union Railway Minister. At the same time, I have demanded proper rehabilitation for those affected.

The personal became the political for me in 2024. I joined public life because I passionately believe that the @narendramodi -led @BJP4India is destroying India’s precious democratic spaces and I believed and believe in the Opposition’s constitutional fight against the anti-constitutional, communal minded Modi-led BJP bent on fomenting religious wars. I believed, believe and will ALWAYS believe in the remarkable leadership of @MamataOfficial , an inspiration for all women, indeed all citizens in her unflagging courage and value-based politics. What strikes me as bizarre is this culture of winning on one party’s symbol and under the name of one particular leader and then abandoning that party and the leader the moment it faces defeat. If your convictions change with the election result, were they convictions at all? You contest under a party symbol. You ask voters to trust a party platform. You win because of that party’s support and leaders appeal.  Then the party loses and you immediately switch sides. If loyalty lasts only as long as victory, what exactly was the mandate for? Or is it when Shri @AmitShah and his cronies make a phone call, you obediently line up and all morality ends? SHAME.

Meeting with a common purpose and clear intent. INDIA united. Many parties look forward to meeting in the spirit of camaraderie
23 political parties have confirmed participation in the INDIA janbandhan meeting at Constitution Club, New Delhi on Monday June 8, 2026, at 12 noon. There are some parties who have expressed their inability to attend this particular meeting for their own reasons - even though they have conveyed their strong opposition to the Modi Govt’s policies and actions that are snatching away the right to vote for millions of Indians, assaulting the Constitution daily, attacking Opposition leaders through investigative agencies, seriously damaging the livelihoods of crores of Indians, breaking household budgets through relentless price rise, betraying the hopes and aspirations of lakhs of youth, dampening investment climate, and compromising the national interest by its foreign policy. Like India, the INDIA janbandhan continues to stand united through its diversity.

After careful consideration, it has been decided that all committees of the All India Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, as well as all its frontal organisations, shall stand dissolved with immediate effect. The party will undertake a comprehensive exercise of introspection, performance review and organisational assessment at every level. Based on the findings of this exercise, the organisational structure of the parent body and all frontal organisations will be reconstituted and announced in due course. The party remains committed to strengthening its organisation and preparing it to meet future challenges with renewed vigour and purpose.

Truth be told
The ₹600 crore Amul dairy plant at Sankrail Food Park, Howrah, was approved through an MoU signed during BGBS 2025 under Trinamool Govt. Now @Amul_Coop is trying to create the impression that the project is a result of @BJP4Bengal rule! বিজেপিকে দুধ খাইয়ে পুষ্টি দেওয়া হচ্ছে??
