Why are Bengalis facing humiliation in their own country? #BoycottBJP

I am shocked and deeply concerned by the sudden news of the resignation of Shri C. V. Ananda Bose, the Governor of West Bengal. The reasons behind his resignation are not known to me at this moment. However, given the prevailing circumstances, I would not be surprised if the Governor has been subjected to some pressure from the Union Home Minister to serve certain political interests on the eve of the forthcoming State Assembly elections. Union Home Minister just informed me that Shri R.N. Ravi is being appointed as Governor of West Bengal. He never consulted with me as per the established convention in this regard. Such actions undermine the spirit of the Constitution of India and strike at the very foundation of our federal structure. The Centre must respect the principles of cooperative federalism and refrain from taking unilateral decisions that erode democratic conventions and the dignity of States.

Some public welfare initiatives do more than serve the present, they shape the future by setting enduring standards of compassionate care. #Sebaashray is one such landmark effort, redefining the meaning of accessible and people-centric healthcare. 1,725 residents of Bishnupur received free spectacles through Sebaashray 2.0, restoring not just vision, but dignity, confidence, and quality of life. This is service rooted in empathy, delivered with purpose, and guided by the belief that healthcare must reach every citizen, without barriers or burden.

The Supreme Court’s directions to the @ECISVEEP to address serious procedural irregularities in the ongoing SIR exercise reaffirm the long-standing concerns raised by Smt. @mamataofficial and repeatedly articulated by our party’s National General Secretary, Shri @abhishekaitc, who had cautioned against arbitrary classifications and a lack of transparency. By mandating the public disclosure of voters flagged under “logical discrepancy” and allowing citizens to submit objections at local administrative offices, the Court has restored basic democratic safeguards. This order ensures that ordinary people are no longer subjected to unnecessary hardship or arbitrary exclusion from the electoral process. This verdict underlines a simple truth, that democratic processes must serve the people, not intimidate them.

People's power triumphs 🚀 Supreme Court upholds transparency in electoral process, reflecting TMC's commitment to democracy #BanglarMaatiDurjoyGhaati

Healthcare rooted in fairness and compassion is the true measure of a just society. Sebaashray’s work in Diamond Harbour today reflected this belief in action. By delivering timely medical consultations, diagnostic support, and free essential medicines directly to the community, Sebaashray reduced barriers that often push care out of reach. Patients requiring advanced treatment were identified early and guided through referrals, ensuring continuity beyond the first point of care. Through Sebaashray 2, public health becomes a shared commitment rather than a privilege, strengthening the bridge between communities and the healthcare system with dignity, access, and accountability at its core.

From the early hours, people in Nandigram are turning up in large numbers for Sebaashray, seeking timely medical care and guidance. With compassion and coordination at its core, Sebaashray is delivering consultations, diagnostics, and free medicines to thousands, while ensuring seamless referrals for advanced treatment. The continued faith of Nandigram’s people reflects their strong support for this initiative led by Shri @abhishekaitc.

More often than not, distance, cost, and uncertainty turn treatment into yet another struggle for families already under strain. Sebaashray works to break that cycle. As #Sebaashray2 concluded Day 43 in Diamond Harbour, it reaffirmed a simple truth of responsible governance: healthcare must reach people where they are. Through consultations, free medicines, and timely referrals, care was delivered with dignity, not delay. Starting today in Diamond Harbour, Sebaashray carries forward a clear commitment that signals continuity, compassion, and the assurance that no one is left to face illness alone.

Today marks a moment of profound pride and spiritual fulfilment for Bengal as I laid the foundation stone of Mahakal Mahatirtha in Siliguri, envisioned to become one of the world’s largest and most resplendent temple complexes. Spread across 17.4 acres, this sacred site will welcome nearly 1 lakh devotees every day, offering a space where faith, heritage, and collective reverence converge. At its heart will rise the world’s tallest Mahakal statue, a majestic bronze form standing 216 feet tall, symbolising eternal strength, compassion, and spiritual awakening. Within its pedestal will be housed a Mahakal Museum and a cultural hall, preserving and celebrating the rich legacy of Shaiva tradition. The complex will feature replicas of India’s 12 Jyotirlinga, twin Nandi shrines, expansive circumambulatory paths for thousands of devotees, and sanctified spaces dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Lord Kartikeya, Shakti, and Lord Vishnu Narayan, in accordance with sacred architectural traditions. Through stone art, sculptures, and frescoes, the timeless story and glory of Mahakal will be brought vividly to life. Facilities such as sacred kunds, prasad centres, cultural arcades, and amenities for pilgrims and priests alike will ensure that devotion is nurtured with dignity, care, and comfort. I also laid the foundation stone of an Ekalavya Model Residential School at Charkhole in Kalimpong, with an investment of Rs. 46.81 crore, benefitting nearly 80,000 people from Scheduled Tribe communities. I inaugurated the ‘Chaa Bandhu’ free ambulance service for workers in tea gardens of North Bengal, 17 childcare centres for families of tea garden workers, and 11 health centres in Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, and Darjeeling. Additionally, I flagged off 18 CNG buses of WBTC, 13 CNG buses of SBSTC, and 6 sleeper Volvo buses of NBSTC from Siliguri, with a total investment of Rs. 22.06 crore, strengthening safe, sustainable, and modern public transport across the region. I express my deepest gratitude to all who will devote their labour, skill, and sincerity to the creation of Mahakal Mahatirtha, from our administration and planners to every worker at the site. It is through their commitment that this sacred vision will take enduring form. Every place of worship, be it temple, mosque, gurudwara, church, or Jaher Than or Majhi Than, commands our equal reverence, for unity in diversity is the soul of our civilization. I pray at the feet of Lord Mahakal for peace, prosperity, and well being for every home, and for Bengal to continue its journey of harmony, faith, and collective progress. Har Har Mahadev 🙏

Today, Smt. @MamataOfficial laid the foundation stone for the Mahakal Mahatirtha Temple at Matigara in Siliguri. From Jagannath Dham to Durga Angan, Didi’s contributions to strengthening Bengal’s cultural economy are undeniable. This sacred new landmark will stand for generations as a symbol of Bengal’s enduring faith, heritage, and civilisational pride.

GoWB is always committed for best health care for our children.

17-year-old Dalit boy, Aniket, brutally beaten by upper-caste goons in Greater Noida on birthday, has died. Such violence continues in UP. @narendramodi & @myogiadityanath governments have completely failed to protect the lives of Dalits. The safety of Dalits must be protected.

We are deeply saddened by the news of the demise of the legendary actor #SatishShah due to kidney failure today. His incredible contribution to cinema & television will always be cherished. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
