Rift In Bengal BJP Ahead Of Assembly Polls? Here’s How Suvendu-Sukanta Ties Seem To Be Freezing

The rift in the Bengal BJP seems to be widening by the day, and this comes with less than a year left for the Assembly polls. BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar has now turned down Leader of Opposition in Bengal Assembly Subhendu Adhikari's proposal to observe 'Ganatantra Hatya Diwas', which roughly translates to 'Day When Democracy Died', on July 21. Trinamool Congress observes July 21 as 'Martyr's Day' in memory of the 13 people killed in police firing at a Youth Congress rally against the Left Front government in 1993. The rift in Bengal BJP started with Suvendu Adhikari's call to abandon PM Modi's mantra of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'. Suvendu had said: "I have talked about nationalist Muslims. You, too, have talked about 'sabka sath, sabka vikaas'...

Hindu-Muslim Rhetoric Still High On BJP Agenda As Leaders Seek To Forsake ‘Sab Ka Saath…’

The Bharatiya Janata Party seems to have given up on its 'vikas' (development) agenda and continues to focus on the Hindu-Muslim rhetoric as it had done during the Lok Sabha elections. At least three different BJP leaders on Wednesday spoke in a manner, which appeared to be against the Muslim community.

West Bengal | The Mamata pushback

The thousands packed into the venue—the Sukanta Sporting Club ground, in a village not far from the border—swore and seethed impatiently on a recent afternoon in Dhubulia, in south-central Bengal’s Nadia district. The rallyists gathered in support of Mahua Moitra, the Trinamool Congress candidate for Krishnanagar, were cooking on slow flame in the stifling heat. For hours, the gathering chafed under the intense discomfort, calling for water and fighting for a place in front of the pedestal fans. Then, a mechanical rumble issued from the sky, as the helicopter carrying Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee hove into view. That’s all it took for the crowd to revive itself. The emergence of Mamata’s familiar figure, in her trademark blue-bordered white sari, drew hysteric cheers. In Bengal, scen...
