Since Monday, BJP workers have staged protests across several Bengal districts for fielding TMC turncoats and new faces and ignoring the party’s old-timers.
Both parties’ chief election slogans have been derived from two iconic poems — Rabindranath Tagore’s Amar Sonar Bangla and Kazi Nazrul Islam’s Purna Abhinandan.

Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
