Didi appealing to women in villages to come out with ‘hata, khunti’ &chase centrl forces & outsiders away if there is an attempt of intimidation

Life size poster of chief minister Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee were torn down at North Kolkata’s Sukea street ( near Suvendu’s local residence).
People, aware of Kolkata’s political equation, know, it was unthinkable in the city.
The infected person was advised by the airport authority to get admitted to Beleghata ID hospital on 15th. He ignored, reached home, visited some places. On 16th he was taken to MR Bangur hospital, met deputy super and others. Again turned down requests to get admitted.
On day 3, that is 17th, he was forced to get admitted by the health department. And of course found to be Covid positive. Such impunity for influential people! Education means NOTHING. Its all about mindset !

These allegations generally come from the Opposition

A 52-year-old social worker, who got admitted to AMRI Dhakuria in March and tested positive, will be discharged today around 4 pm. He is most likely the only COVID-19 patient to have been on ventilator for almost a month and still defeated the disease.

Situation looks grim in Bengal. Two railway stations— in Malda and North 24 Paraganas— vandalised, and then set on fire. At least 3 toll plazas ransacked, 17 lakh looted from one plaza, claims

Kolkata will witness another mass rally tomorrow. this time by BJP’s Yuva Morcha , led by

BJP washed away (with 14% of vote shares) as Trinamool sweeps by-polls with 77% vote share ( as expected).
Dinhata, that the saffron brigade won marginally by around 60 votes, went to Trinamool’s Udayan Guha. Margin is over 1 lakh.
And a white wash for - Congress and CPM

#MukulRoy
has been meeting senior leaders for long, he was asked to stay in BJP.
Central BJP leaders including Amit Shah were aware, and that is why Roy wasn’t elevated in the party.Instead,he was fielded in Krishanagar North to restrict him to one constituency.

From the electoral poll bond revelations, Trinamool Congress, apart from the BJP, clearly emerges as the second richest party in the country, even though a distant second. But, while looking at the list, or analysing the funds, there are certain factors that should be taken into…

Two months after BJP worker Abhijit Sarkar was lynched near his house at Maniktala (north Kol), his elder brother Biswajit apprehended Kajal Das,(accused) near Ultadanga crossing today and handed him over to

.Das has been arrested.
CBI makes first arrest in 2016 Narada sting case.IPS ofcr SMH Mirza arrested. Narada sting ops showed the IPS officer & other TMC leaders taking cash for favours. In the video clip, Mirza was seen taking money for Mukul Roy. Roy was TMC’s gen secy then

Sir and am grateful to
@KolkataPolice
for helping me snd my family in such a difficult time . Taking my father from Hooghly and hospitalising him in Kolkata seemed a tough task then, but could do this. Thanks
@WBPolice
for cooperation!!!
Trinamool is of course winning with a high margin, and BJP is trailing poorly…
But…
CPM (as of now) got only 343 (0.41%) votes while NOTA has 232 votes (0.28%)…
How far a party in power for over 3 decades can keep decimating and decimating and decimating…
