Malay Mahata

I am deeply touched and honoured by the presence of thousands of mothers, brothers, and sisters at our Janasabhas in Nanoor, Burwan, and Nabagram. The love that the people of Birbhum and Murshidabad have always shown for Trinamool Congress is something I carry in my heart. I am humbled, and I am grateful. But today, even as I draw strength from the people, I cannot look away from the grave threats that surround our democracy. The Gonotontro-Birodhi forces of BJP are attempting to poison the minds of our people through hatred and communal venom, hoping to tear apart the secular, inclusive fabric that has always bound Bengal together. We have seen the deliberate insult inflicted upon India's pride, Bengal's pride, Birbhum's pride, Kobiguru Rabindranath Tagore, by these very Bangla-Birodhi forces. The people have witnessed how established electoral norms have been violated to allow rigging to unfold in open sight, before a single vote has been cast. Our people have been made to stand in humiliating queues merely to prove their right to belong, to retain a constitutional right that was never anyone else's to take from them. I ask those very people to stand in a queue once more, on polling day, with their heads held high, and press the Joraphool symbol with conviction. I ask them to vote for Bidhan Chandra Majhi, Pratima Rajak, and Pranab Chandra Das, and to give Bohiragoto BJP the decisive response they deserve. Bengal is our pride and our motherland. We will protect it until our last breath.

In 2016, 2021, and the 2024 Bypolls, the people of Taldangra placed their trust in us. We have strived every single day to honour that trust by bringing development to their doorsteps. Bankura, a district historically neglected and abandoned under decades of CPI(M) misrule, has been transformed under the leadership of Smt. @MamataOfficial. And today, by turning out in overwhelming numbers at Shri @abhishekaitc's janasabha in support of Shri Falguni Singhababu, the people of Taldangra have once again made their verdict clear. Trinamool Congress will win. And Taldangra will lead the way.

Bengal has a rich Bahurupi tradition, one of the oldest forms of folk art, where artists assume many forms, many faces, many identities. Today, we are witnessing a very different kind of Bahurupi. These Bahurupis watched in silence as the people of Bengal suffered and lost their lives during SIR. And now, they have arrived for a 15-day visit, wearing the mask of concern. Their forms are many. At times they appear as BJP, misusing democratic institutions to disenfranchise our people and engineer demographic change. At times as CPI(M) and Congress, splitting votes to hand electoral advantage to Bangla-birodhi forces. And at times as ISF and AIMIM, provoking unrest to destabilise Bengal on the eve of elections. A thousand faces. One agenda. The destruction of Bengal. But Bengal is wide awake, and Bengal will reject every single one of them. Since 2016, the people of Taldangra have stood with conviction behind Maa-Mati-Manush. The reception I received today at the janasabha in support of our candidate Shri Falguni Singhababu has put it beyond any doubt. Trinamool Congress will win. Taldangra will ensure it.

Suvendu Adhikari runs a private hit squad in Nandigram to murder and silence anyone who dares to oppose him. Today, on his direct instructions, our party worker Shaktipada Das was brutally assaulted, kicked, slapped, abused, and then poisoned to death. Poison was forcibly poured into his mouth to stage it as suicide. This is the barbaric length to which BJP is willing to go. “Load-shedding” Adhikari can feel power slipping away, so he has resorted to cold-blooded murder to cling to whatever little relevance he has left. We will not allow Bengal to turn into another Uttar Pradesh or Bihar, where political opponents are slaughtered in broad daylight. Don’t let Bengal bleed. #BoycottBJP. Save Bengal.

Today, I am deeply moved by the love, warmth, and outpouring of support from the people of Chandrakona, Garbeta, and Bishnupur. This genuine trust, this faith, is what drives everything we do. And it is what will secure our victory in the days ahead. Through the initiatives of our Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkar, we have worked steadily toward a Swanirbhor Bangla, where every family moves forward, and no one is left behind. But Bangla-Birodhi forces from Delhi are working to disrupt what we have built. This authoritarian party seeks to capture Bengal through division, through unrest, and through the deprivation of people's fundamental rights. By exploiting religion, BJP tries to drive wedges between communities that have lived together in harmony for generations. The people of Bengal see through it. They will respond, as they always have, through democratic means. Those who distort Bengal's rich culture, heritage, and history, those who attempt to suppress the rights of ordinary citizens in the name of electoral processes, do not deserve a single vote. I urge the people of Chandrakona, Garbeta, and Bishnupur to stand firm, reject propaganda, and vote with full strength for our candidates, Shri Surjya Kanta Doloi, Uttara Singha (Hazra), and Tanmoy Ghosh. Together, let us protect Bengal's identity, uphold its dignity, and ensure that the momentum of development continues, uninterrupted.

.@CEOWestBengal Manoj Agarwal has finally been forced to admit that Form 6 applications have indeed been submitted in large numbers at his office. First, they tried to cover up the entire scandal by leaking that the whole allegation was baseless. Now the CEO himself has admitted that his office did receive these Form 6 applications. The only question that remains is, who gave him the authority to accept them? On what statutory provision were these fraudulent, bulk Form 6 applications accepted? Especially when the Hon’ble Supreme Court had categorically stated that appeals by voters under adjudication would be heard exclusively by Appellate Tribunals? When ECI’s own instructions clearly limit submissions to just 50 Form 6 per day per individual?

Sitalkuchi ❤️

BJP has perfected the dirty art of voter roll tampering. They did the warm-up in Delhi and Maharashtra. Now they are playing the real match in Bengal. In Maharashtra, 43,84,814 voters were added in 5 years, and another 40,81,229 were added in just 5 months. In Delhi: 4,16,648 voters were added in 4 years, and another 3,99,362 were added in just 7 months. I had warned then that the real rigging is not in EVMs, it’s in the electoral rolls. Bengal is now witnessing exactly that. This video clearly shows cartons filled with fraudulent Form 6 applications being openly submitted at the Chief Electoral Officer’s office, and stacked on the third floor raising serious concerns about an attempt to illegally bring in voters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh into Bengal’s electoral rolls. And it is shocking how the @ECISVEEP has rolled over and allowed this conspiracy. Nowhere in the Election Commission’s rules is bulk submission of Form 6 permitted. The limit is clearly capped at 50 applications per individual. Yet here, thousands of forms are being submitted by just a handful of people- something that is not only a blatant violation of the rules but also strikes at the very foundation of a free and fair electoral process. We call ourselves the world’s largest democracy, yet the very custodian of our democratic rights is actively facilitating its sabotage. When BJP shouted “Paltano Dorkar”, they actually meant “VOTER ROLLS PALTANO DORKAR”. When they screamed “Poriborton”, they meant a DEMOGRAPHIC PORIBORTON, replacing Bengal’s own electorate with voters brought in from BJP-ruled states.

Shri @abhishekaitc visited the Office of @CEOWestBengal and submitted a strong, categorical objection against the grave conspiracy underway. BJP operatives have been caught red-handed submitting thousands of fraudulent Form 6 applications to flood the electoral rolls with outsiders. This is the same dirty trick BJP successfully pulled in Maharashtra and Delhi to sabotage fair elections. But Bengal is built different. We will not stand silently while our democracy is hijacked. We will resist with full force, and democracy will prevail.

This is the kind of “PARIVARTAN” the BJP seeks to impose on the soil of Bengal. Immediately after the announcement of elections, the @ECISVEEP initiated sweeping administrative changes- replacing the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DGP, ADGs, IGs, SPs, DMs, the Kolkata Police Commissioner and even the KMC Commissioner. Such unprecedented interventions raise serious questions about intent and timing. What has followed is even more disturbing. In the shadow of these changes, there are increasing reports of intimidation, where shops are being vandalised, tensions being stoked in the name of religion and ordinary people being made to suffer. We don’t need a “BULLDOZER MODEL”. We don’t need imported politics of hatred and violence. It’s the para culture, the adda, the festivals we celebrate together, the respect we have for each other’s beliefs. THAT’S OUR IDENTITY. For generations, Bengal has celebrated Durga Puja, Diwali, Poila Boishakh, Eid, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Buddha Purnima, and Christmas together without fear, without division and without violence. Yet in just the past few days, we are seeing a disturbing glimpse of the kind of “CHANGE” being pushed onto this land of revolutionaries. The land of Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda has always stood for tolerance, harmony and coexistence. For decades, Bengal has been a living example of unity in diversity. Today, that very social fabric appears under strain. The question is: Who benefits from this disruption and at what cost to the people of Bengal? Shame on @ECISVEEP @BJP4India !

The people of Murshidabad and Sandeshkhali have seen the real danger BJP poses to Bengal with their own eyes. In Murshidabad, BJP has deployed three agents. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to mislead the people and split their votes. Humayun Kabir to poison minds, spread hatred and incite violence. Vanish Kumar to delete lakhs of genuine voters and rig the election even before a single vote is cast In Sandeshkhali, BJP stooped to the lowest level. They bribed, coerced, manipulated, and blackmailed women, forcing them to sign blank papers in exchange for money, all to fabricate false rape charges and malign Bengal. For the sake of a few votes, BJP has bartered the dignity of women, defamed the state, and conspired to tear Bengal apart. BJP are venomous snakes waiting to strike at the first opportunity. Not a single vote should go to these Bangla-birodhi forces. The massive janasabhas at Naoda and Sandeshkhali have already shown the people’s verdict. The resounding victory of our candidates Shahina Mumtaz and Jharna Sardar is just days away.

Chori pakdi gayi! @BJP4India submitted over 30,000 Form 6 applications when the daily limit is just 50. This was a deliberate, nefarious plot to smuggle thousands of voters from BJP-ruled states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh into Bengal’s electoral rolls. While the entire state was consumed with worry over mass deletions of genuine voters, BJP was quietly working the other angle, surreptitiously pushing illegitimate voters in. The same playbook they ran in Maharashtra. The same playbook they ran in Delhi. Now caught, red-handed, in Bengal. The conspiracy stands fully exposed before the entire country. If anyone still believes in the neutrality of the @ECISVEEP after this, they are either dangerously naive or wilfully delusional.

The spontaneous outpouring of love and solidarity at the janasabhas in Pandabeswar and Dubrajpur today has left me profoundly moved. The affection, blessings, and sheer scale of the gatherings fill me with confidence that the authoritarian BJP will be decisively defeated. The people of Bengal know, from lived experience, who truly stands by them in times of need and hardship. It is the representatives of Maa-Mati-Manush who remain present throughout the year, not those driven by arrogance, opportunism, and the hunger for power. Those who distort Bengal's proud history and attempt to intimidate ordinary citizens over their democratic voting rights must be rejected. Not a single vote should go to the BJP. This Bangla-Birodhi party feeds on division, discrimination, and disinformation, offering nothing but hollow promises in the name of public welfare. Therefore, I urge the people of Pandabeswar and Dubrajpur to bless our candidates, Shri Narendranath Chakraborty and Shri Naresh Chandra Bauri, with a historic mandate, and to continue Bengal's journey of inclusive development. This election is about safeguarding Bengal's identity, dignity, and future. A vote for the BJP is a vote against Bengal itself.

বাংলাজুড়ে ছারপোকারা কাটছে সবার নাম; মানুষই আজ জোট বেঁধেছে, করবে কাম তামাম! দিদি আছেন রক্ষাকর্ত্রী, যতই করুক হামলা ৪ মে বিনাশ নিশ্চিত, আবার জিতবে বাংলা!

Under CPI(M) rule, Purulia bled every single day. Violence and bloodshed had become a daily nightmare. But after 2011, the Trinamool Congress ended the reign of terror, restored peace, and put Purulia firmly on the path of development. Those leaders who are now flying in from Delhi with their “chargesheets” and suitcase full of lies wouldn’t have dared to show their faces in places like Baghmundi back then. The very fact that these election-season daily passengers can now come to Bengal, hold rallies anywhere, and spread lies freely is proof of the success of Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkar. Yet today, with the Election Commission acting as their willing accomplice, the Bangla-Birodhi BJP jallads are conspiring to drag Purulia back to those dark days of CPI(M) harmad rule. Bengal knows how to resist. Bengal knows how to fight back. Bengal knows how to crush the black hand of oppression and exploitation. And Bengal will prevail. The people of Baghmundi have already made up their minds that every single vote will go to Trinamool Congress candidate Shri Sushanta Mahato in this battle against the Kurmi-birodhi, Adivasi-birodhi, Purulia-birodhi BJP.

One Call. One Message. One Decision. 💪🏼 “Je Lorche Sobar Daake, Sei Jetabe Bangla Maake” — because when Bengal calls, there’s only one who stands and fights. Our anthem begins its journey today! Turn it up. Then show up and make it count.

BJP’s message to the voters of Bengal: “Main baarish kar doon paise ki, jo tu ho jaaye meri.” We are going to the people of Bengal with our Report Card, of work done, of development delivered, of lives touched. @BJP4India is going to the people with their Rate Card, bundles of cash to buy votes. Lakshman Chandra Ghorui from BJP was caught red-handed distributing cash bundles in violation of Model Code of Conduct. Even after deleting lakhs of legitimate Bengali voters, even after trying to stuff fake voters from other states, even after deploying their full battalion of Central Forces, even after turning the Election Commission into their obedient B-team, they have failed to get the desired outcome. That is why they have now resorted to chucking cash at the people. They know they cannot win with votes, so they are trying to buy them.

In Baghmundi, the overwhelming surge of public enthusiasm witnessed at the election rally addressed by Shri @abhishekaitc has made one thing crystal clear: the people of Jangalmahal will no longer be deceived by the hollow rhetoric and divisive politics of @BJP4India. In this resolute struggle against the exploitative ZAMINDARS of Delhi, the people of Baghmundi will make no compromise. Like other regions of Bengal, the residents of the Baghmundi Assembly Constituency have come together to carry forward the development initiatives of our Maa-Mati-Manush government to every household and to fiercely protect their constitutional rights. Therefore, in the upcoming election, the people of Baghmundi will overwhelmingly vote for our candidate Sushanta Mahato, under the symbol of Joraphool. By securing a record margin of victory, they will join the unstoppable journey of Bengal’s progress and development.

At today's janasabhas in Manbazar, Purulia and Raipur, Bankura, the people have delivered their verdict with one united voice. There is no place for the authoritarian BJP on this soil. The sound of conch shells and ululation from our mothers and sisters, and the thunderous applause from our brothers, have made one thing abundantly clear. BJP's defeat is certain. I remain forever indebted to the people of this land. Their overwhelming support and boundless affection are beyond measure. It is their emotion, their warmth, their sincerity, that will carry our Maa-Mati-Manush candidates to victory. Trinamool Congress is the party of the people. Without the people, we are nothing. From the very first day of our founding, service to the people has been the creed we have lived by. The Bangla-birodhi, Gonotontro-birodhi, Jono-birodhi BJP has never spared a thought for the ordinary citizen. On the contrary, it has worked without rest to strip people of their most sacred rights. Today, the people have taken a solemn pledge to resist this misrule; to elect Smt. Sandhya Rani Tudu from Manbazar and Smt. Thakur Moni Soren from Raipur with a resounding majority. In defence of Bengal's culture, heritage, and identity, I call upon the people of this state to elect all Trinamool Congress candidates with a massive and decisive mandate.

Sandeshkhali is sending a clear message- It’s a SWEEPING TRINAMOOL WAVE. ❤️ The Bangla-birodhi ZAMINDARS in Delhi are headed for a REALITY CHECK.
