Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh said TMC supporters blocked the road and pelted stones at party president Nadda's vehicle that was on way to Diamond Harbour from Kolkata.
Bengal BJP vice-president Raju Banerjee and MP Jyotirmoy were reportedly injured in the clashes. Police claim clashes erupted when protesters tried to break through barricades.
BJP will train its women workers in self-defence ‘against TMC goons’, conduct marches with youth and farmers, and woo Bengal voters in Durga Puja pandals.
Former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy says BJP should ‘put an examination process in place for the new inductees’, and also scrutinise their background.
The new campaign — Dilip da against corruption — is part of the BJP’s larger campaign of ‘Bengal against corruption’ ahead of the state polls due in 2021.
Tathagata Roy's term as Governor ends Tuesday. The 74-year-old has been Bengal BJP chief from 2002-06, and is likely to return to the state by month-end.
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.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Shri Ratan Tata should be given both the Maharajah and a Bharat Ratna. Vaise agar Air India ko nationalise nahin kiya hota toh kitna achha hota. The same can be said about the banks.
All India Service officers serving in their cadres move to the Centre voluntarily. The consent of both the officer and the state government is the norm. In states like Maharashtra, an IAS officer could retire as Chief Secretary without ever having worked in Delhi. Those assigned to less favoured cadres like the north east cannot wait to complete their cooling off period to return to the Centre. To compulsorily summon IPS officers on Central deputation – against their wishes and without the consent of the state government – goes contrary to the spirit of cooperative federalism. 2. A happier precedent exists. Shri Sanjay Mitra of the 1982 batch, worked in Dr Singh’s PMO, appointed CS by CM Mamata Banerjee at a young age, later moving to Delhi as Secretary, Road Transport, then retiring as Defence Secretary. It makes no difference to such an upright officer which formation is in power in Delhi or the state. There are norms, conventions, courtesies, being created since the dawn of the Republic. Those should be respected, built upon. All power is transient.
