A brave Bengali BSF Jawan from Malda, serving in the 170 Battalion posted in Ukhrul district of Manipur, was martyred in militant firing. He has left behind his wife and children. Those who lecture Bengal about “PORIBORTON” should first turn their gaze towards Manipur. The Prime Minister and his Home Minister have all the time in the world to campaign in Bengal, but not a single minute to visit Manipur and bring a lasting solution to the ethnic violence that has been raging for three long years. Nearly 300 people have been killed. Tens of thousands have been displaced and injured. Before you scream “PALTANO DORKAR” in Bengal, Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah do something meaningful for the hapless people of your “ASHTALAKSHMI” state.

Unable to withstand the unconquerable zeal and fighting spirit of the people of Bengal, even the British were forced to shift India’s capital from Kolkata back to Delhi. Today, we have the modern-day reincarnations of Reginald Dyer and George Curzon, sitting in Delhi and trying to rule Bengal through remote control. Sorry to disappoint you, colonial neo-zamindars. Bengal will remain in the hands of its own daughter. Bengal will never be dictated by the whips of Delhi’s Zamindars. You may have underestimated us, but we Bengalis are a proud race. We do not bend. We do not kneel before any oppressive force. For every act of insult, every humiliation, every exploitation and every persecution you have inflicted on Bengal, you will receive a massive 440-VOLT JHATKA on the 4th of May. Be ready. Your democratic funeral procession in Bengal has already begun.

Hello, please find the attached clip. 👇🏻 Thank you for your attention to this matter!

BJP wants to bring their Talibani mindset to Bengal. The "Poriborton" they promise is REGRESSION OF THE DARKEST KIND. A Bengal where women receiving Lakshmir Bhandar are caged inside their homes. Where people's houses are razed by bulldozers. Where frenzied mobs run riot, destroying everything in their path. Where there are bans on what people eat, what they wear, who they love, and which faith they practise. I see no difference between those who vandalised Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's bust and those who vandalised Buddha statues in Afghanistan. The contempt is identical. Only the geography has changed. So fierce is BJP's hatred for Bengal that they seek to bow this land into subjugation through TYRANNY, COERCION, INTIMIDATION, and HUMILIATION. But they do not know Bengal. Bengal is a free land. A proud land. A land that would embrace the gallows before it polishes the boots of oppressors. The Bangla-birodhi Zamindars will learn that the hard way. This election will be their lesson.

In Bengali we have a popular saying, “স্যাকরার ঠুকঠাক, কামারের এক ঘা!” BJP has subjected Bengal to repeated acts of hostility, blow after blow against this land and its people. They have deliberately withheld the people’s rightful funds. They have persecuted and tormented Bengali-speaking brothers and sisters in BJP-ruled states. They have insulted our icons, belittled our culture, banned our food habits, questioned the legitimacy of our language, and above all, conspired to rob the people of their democratic voice. For all these continuous acts of aggression and humiliation, what BJP will receive on the 4th of May is one single, decisive, thundering strike so powerful that it will bring their entire castle of illusions crashing down to the ground. This one strike will humble the arrogant Bangla-Birodhi Zamindars who think they are invincible. This one strike will remind these obnoxious overlords that no matter how much power they capture in Delhi, the ultimate power always rests with the people. Mark my words. BJP’s downfall in Bengal is written in the stars.

The arrest of Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, barely 10 days before the Bengal elections, is not just alarming- It shakes the very idea of a level playing field. At a time when WB should be moving toward free and fair elections, this kind of action sends a chilling message: If you work with the opposition, you could be next. That’s not democracy- that’s intimidation! What makes it even harder to ignore is the double standard. Those facing serious corruption allegations seem to find protection the moment they switch sides, while others are swiftly targeted at politically convenient moments. People are not blind to this anymore. When institutions meant to protect democracy start feeling like tools of pressure, trust begins to erode. On one side, the Election Commission. On the other, agencies like the ED, NIA, CBI stepping in at the most sensitive time. It creates an atmosphere of fear, not fairness. India has always taken pride in its democracy- loud, messy but free. But today, many are beginning to ask: are we still that country? This is bigger than one arrest. It is about whether our institutions remain independent and whether every citizen, no matter their political belief, can participate without fear. Because once fear replaces freedom, democracy becomes just a word. To Amit Shah and the BJP’s power structure- Be in Bengal on the 4th and 5th of May. Come with Gyanesh Kumar and every agency you deploy. Bengal will not be bullied, will not be silenced and will not bow. This is a land that answers pressure with resistance and it will show you exactly what that means!

BJP wants to run this country the way the Gestapo ran Nazi Germany. And Bengal is their testing ground. Able state government officials have been replaced with BJP loyalists, empowered to conduct unwarranted searches and seizures against our leaders and workers. Central investigative agencies have been unleashed to silence and intimidate. Companies of Central Forces have been deployed with a free rein to do whatever it takes to manufacture an advantage for BJP. And overseeing it all, an obsequious Election Commission that has offered BJP its unquestioning loyalty at every step. The full machinery has been summoned for one purpose. To defeat one woman. Except she is not alone. Behind her stand 10 crore people of Bengal and lakhs of Trinamool Congress workers who have chosen this fight with full knowledge of what it costs and full conviction in what it means. Bring everything you have. Aa Dekhen Zara Kismein Kitna Hai Dum.

“এসো, এসো, এসো হে বৈশাখ।” On this sacred day, when the Bangla calendar turns its page and a new year begins with the fragrance of the season and the warmth of togetherness, I extend my heartfelt wishes to everyone. শুভ নববর্ষের আন্তরিক প্রীতি ও শুভেচ্ছা। Today, repeated attempts are being made to weaken Bengal. To malign it. To break its spine. To ridicule our language, mock our culture, dictate our food habits, insult our icons and torment our people into submission. They do not know Bengal. This is a land that has faced every indignity history has thrown at it and emerged, each time, not merely intact, but stronger. The unconquerable spirit of Bengal has outlived every force that sought to diminish it. It will outlive this one too. We will not be broken. We will not bow. We will prevail. Collectively. Proudly. As one. শুভ নববর্ষ - ১৪৩৩। সুখে-শান্তিতে ভরে উঠুক নতুন বছর।

On Poila Boishakh, I offered my prayers at Kalighat, seeking strength, clarity, and resolve for the path ahead. In the divine presence of Maa Kali, I prayed not just for personal strength, but for the well-being of every citizen of Bengal, for peace, dignity, and unity to prevail across our land. This sacred moment is a reminder that our journey is not merely political; it is a responsibility towards protecting harmony, upholding justice, and safeguarding the rights of our people. There are forces that seek to disturb this balance, to divide and weaken the social fabric of Bengal. But with the blessings of Maa Kali, and with faith in the people, we will stand firm against every such attempt. We will not allow hatred to overshadow harmony, nor vested interests to derail Bengal’s progress. This is a fight for truth. A fight for the rights and dignity of every Bengali. A fight to ensure that the future of our state remains secure, inclusive, and just. With Maa Kali’s blessings guiding us, we will continue this journey with even greater determination and strength. Joy Maa Kali!

If you think Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, or Yogi Adityanath are BJP’s trump cards in Bengal, you are sorely mistaken. The real trump card fighting for BJP from the shadows is the Chief Election Commission. BJP calls the shots, and the Election Commission obediently follows orders. Hundreds of companies of Central Forces, who would be far more useful in Pahalgam, Delhi, Manipur, or Noida, have been deployed in Bengal. Now they have been specifically instructed to single out Trinamool Congress protectees, including my own family. Do whatever you want. Target whoever you want. But remember that your stay in Bengal is limited to exactly 19 days. Those Gujarat babus who are threatening our party workers to stay indoors today won’t be seen in Bengal even for an hour after the results are declared. That’s not a threat. That’s a CHALLENGE.

Grateful to Onda for the incredible love. ❤️

BJP leaders believe they are above the law. And they have raised their children to believe the same. In Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, BJP MLA Pritam Lodhi's son rammed his vehicle into 5 people, then blamed the victims for not clearing the road fast enough. He threatened bystanders to stop recording. And then told the police, with breathtaking arrogance, that his father was an MLA who could handle even a murder. This is not an isolated incident. In Lakhimpur Kheri, former Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni's son ran over and killed 5 people in cold blood. The Minister kept his cabinet post. A pattern this consistent is not coincidence. It is culture. BJP's culture. Where power is absolute, consequence is optional, and human lives are an inconvenience to be handled by a phone call to the ‘right’ person. This is BJP's DNA.

The fallout from the defeat of the Delimitation Bill in the Lok Sabha is exposing the BJP’s discomfort for all to see. The Women’s Reservation Act guaranteeing 33 % reservation for women has been in force since 16 April 2026. It was passed unanimously in September 2023. If the NDA government is serious, it should immediately bring forward the bill to notify one third of the seats. DO IT NOW! @AITCofficial has not just supported this in principle but exceeded it in reality, with over 41 % women’s representation in Parliament. The Constitutional 131st Amendment Bill 2026 has been rejected by INDIA. The attempt to expand the Lok Sabha to 850 seats and push delimitation based on the 2011 Census raised serious concerns about fairness and balance. The NDA government is clearly on borrowed time and the illusion of control is beginning to crumble in plain sight!

Those who were once banished from their own home state and declared ‘tadipar’ are now coming to Bengal and openly threatening our people to stay indoors on 23rd and 29th. Following their leader’s cue, BJP’s লেঠেল বাহিনী is going door-to-door, terrorising ordinary citizens and threatening Trinamool Congress workers. It has come to my notice that these goondas barged into the residence of a Trinamool Congress supporter in Sabang, Sathi Gorai Kuila, and abused and intimidated her in the presence of her two-year-old daughter. BJP, drunk on arrogance, seems to believe that bullets and terror can achieve what ballots cannot. But Bengal has the perfect antidote. And that antidote will be administered democratically, by the people themselves. I openly challenge the Bangla-Birodhi Bohiragotos to be here, in Bengal, on the 4th of May, when that happens. There will be Rabindrasangeet. There will be DJ music. Make sure you don’t miss it.

The Prime Minister and the Home Minister speak endlessly about Nari Shakti. They posture on women’s empowerment and perform outrage for the cameras. But their conduct tells a different story. The Prime Minister publicly mocks a three-time elected woman Chief Minister with “Didi O Didi,” delivered with visible condescension. The Home Minister echoes it with “Ei Didi,” reducing a respected leader to a taunt. This is the “Poriborton” the BJP seeks to import into Bengal from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It is not change, it is a regression in values. An insult to Bengal. An insult to every woman in this state and across the country. On 4th May, the people of Bengal will deliver a verdict that cuts through this hypocrisy once and for all. And that response will be decisive enough to remind these ZAMINDARS that respect for women is not a slogan, it is a standard!

BJP has waged a war on Bengal. They have turned the greatest festival of democracy into what can only be described as a military occupation. The Prime Minister. The Home Minister. The entire Modi Cabinet. The senior-most BJP leadership, including Chief Ministers of 16 states. The ED, CBI, NIA, and Income Tax Department. Over 2 lakh Central Force personnel. The Godi Media. The entire Observer apparatus. And above all, a weaponised Election Commission of India. All of this, for what? To defeat one woman. A woman in plain sarees and chappals, backed by nothing but the love and resolve of 10 crore people. And still, they are failing. Unable to compete politically, they reach for the gutter. The result? Roadside rowdy-romeo language like "Ei Didi", the desperate vocabulary of men who know they have already lost. It is a window into their frustration. All that money, all that muscle, all that machinery, and still no match for the power of the people. It is this unassailable, indomitable power that will carry our Maa-Mati-Manush party to a historic fourth term.

This is not just a crowd. This is belief. This is hope. This is a movement that cannot be stopped. This is my family. This is Diamond Harbour. ❤️

BJP has been on a losing streak in Bengal. Election after election, they arrive with full force, throw everything they have at this state, and leave empty-handed every single time. This time will be no different. Except for one thing. This time, the people of Bengal will hand them a TRANSFER CERTIFICATE. Permanent. Non-negotiable. Ensuring these migratory birds are never seen in Bengal again after 4th May. So in the spirit of genuine hospitality, we urge our uninvited Brand Ambassadors, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, to make the most of whatever time remains. Eat the jhalmuri. Enjoy the boat rides on the Ganga that the Yamuna's toxic foam denied you at home. See the sights. Take the photos. Fill the teleprompter with whatever you like. Because the door is about to slam shut. With the force of an earthquake. One that will be felt all the way to your seat of power in Delhi. Enjoy Bengal while you can, gentlemen. The people are about to show you out.

Thank you, Maniktala ❤️. This love fuels our fight!

To every Trinamool Congress leader, party worker, booth agent, volunteer, supporter, and believer in the Maa-Mati-Manush philosophy 👇 Buy every packet of sobuj aabir you can find. Stockpile it. Hoard it. Because on 4th May, there is going to be a very serious shortage. The entire state will be painted green. Rabindrasangeet will buzz from every corner of Bengal. And yes, we will play a little DJ too. Get ready. The celebration has already begun in our hearts. The streets just need to catch up. Joy Bangla! Maa-Mati-Manush Zindabaad!
