Bengal Assembly Bypoll: Kaliganj to vote on June 19; TMC, BJP gear for headwinds

With the Election Commission on Sunday announcing June 19 as the date for the by-election to the Kaliganj Assembly seat in Nadia district of West Bengal, the stage is set for a crucial electoral battle ahead of next year’s Assembly elections in the state. While the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) would be keen to continue its winning streak – it won all the six Assembly bypolls last year and even snatched Madirhat seat from the BJP – by retaining the seat, the opposition parties would be looking for a chink in the ruling party’s performance, which would give them a boost before the next year’s showdown. Kaliganj Assembly seat had fallen vacant in February this year after the incumbent TMC MLA, Nasiruddin Ahmed, 70, died. In the last Assembly elections in 2021, Ahmed, known as Lal in TMC ci...

BJP and TMC allege ‘outsiders’ instigated violence at Murshidabad

West Bengal Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed that at least 100 crore Hindu-owned properties had been damaged during religious clashes that turned violent in Murshidabad. He suggested that Bangladeshi outfit ‘Ansarulla Bangla Jamat’ was behind the violence, while TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said, “Those who instigated the violence, local people did not recognise them.

We are demanding a detailed investigation.” “We have already made a list of six hundred persons who instigated the violence and submitted it to the administration,” Adhikari said in front of the legislative Assembly on Monday.

Bengal vandalism over Waqf Law: ‘Order NIA probe into vandalism of rail assets’ Suvendu tells Vaishnaw

Leader of Opposition in Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday sought the transfer of investigation into the alleged vandalism and destruction of railway property by agitators protesting the amended Waqf law to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

Bengal school appointments ‘scam’: BJP blames CM, asks her to quit

The Opposition BJP on Monday blamed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the Supreme Court’s order annulling over 25,000 school jobs, asking why her government could not provide the court a list of teachers who were “genuine” and those who were “tainted”. While BJP MLAs protested near the state Assembly, the party’s Yuva Morcha marched to the CM’s Kalighat residence. Police said that some of the leaders and workers were arrested. “The chief minister is misleading the teachers and non-teaching staff who have lost their jobs. Why isn’t Banerjee giving the list of genuine candidates to the Supreme Court? Everyone knows how TMC leaders are involved in the school jobs scam. It is the TMC and the CM who are responsible for the job loss of thousands of teachers,” said Suvendu Adhikari, BJP MLA and ...
