West Bengal & Assam elections almost happen simultaneously, so what will happen in Assam will depend on Mamata Banerjee & what transpires in Bengal, Rajya Sabha MP Dev tells ThePrint.
When a protester asked, ‘Mamata ji, anyone for Hindus?’ at Kellogg College, Bengal watchers were reminded of the BJP’s core campaign strategy for 2026—Hindu angst against minority appeasement.
How do ghost voters sneak into the voter lists? It is truly spooky. Also spooky, it is only in West Bengal that ghost voters were turned into political weaponry.
MLA Tapasi Mondal’s party switch—which she blamed on the BJP’s ‘divisive agenda’—saw a spate of communally charged comments from Suvendu Adhikari. Mamata’s lieutenants hit back in kind.
TMC’s efforts to corral the students of JU is a challenge best left to be attempted before the 2031 elections. Forcing the issue now could just needlessly jeopardise 2026.
Congress won Assembly seats in Chhattisgarh & Maharashtra, RJD won in Bihar — where BJP is part of ruling coalition — and TMC in Bengal. TMC also won Asansol Lok Sabha seat.
The video, posted on Twitter with reference to BJP’s aim to cross 300 seats in UP, shows villagers chasing a politician with sticks & attacking his vehicle.
Mamdani’s politics feels unusual compared to India’s current climate. He unapologetically foregrounds Muslim identity at a time when doing so in India invites scrutiny.
On 4 November 2025, NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Arun Baroka, noted that WhatsApp and Meta are distinct legal entities.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
What a shameless person Ms. Dev is!
Her father, Santosh Mohan Dev, was a legend in north-east India. Always championed the cause of Barak valley and was instrumental in many development works.
And what did the daughter do?
When the Assam government finalised a green-field airport for Silchar (a project sure to boost trade, connectivity and jobs), Ms. Sushmita Dev went ahead and instigated the tea garden workers of the Doloo Tea Estate – which was to be acquired for the purpose of building the airport. Her consistent efforts at misleading the simple workers finally succeeded and they launched massive coordinated protests. This resulted in the greenfield airport project getting shelved.
No wonder Ms. Dev finds a guru in Ms. Mamata Banerjee. She emulated her guru very beautifully thereby denying the people of Barak Valley the opportunity to have a full fledged civilian airport.
