BJP’s Massive Victory in Hooghly! Lotus Blooms on 16 of 18 Seats as Peaceful Elections Strengthen Faith in Democracy

Hooghly/Kolkata:In the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, Hooghly district emerged as the biggest center of political transformation in the state. Once considered a stronghold of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the voters of Hooghly delivered a powerful political message by electing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates on 16 out of 18 Assembly seats. Meanwhile, the TMC was reduced to just two seats in what was once regarded as its traditional support base. Political analysts believe that the people of Hooghly voted not merely for a change in government, but with expectations of development, employment, education, and better governance. After giving opportunities first to the Left Front government and later to the TMC administration for many years, voters have now handed responsibilit...

The Fall of the Mamata Era in Bengal! Public Anger Shatters TMC’s Invincible Fortress

Kolkata:The political transformation witnessed in West Bengal this time is not being viewed merely as the result of the popularity of a single leader or an effective election strategy. Instead, political observers believe it reflects years of growing public dissatisfaction and an intense anti-incumbency wave. Analysts argue that rising anger against Mamata Banerjee reduced the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to just 80 seats, while voters also defeated Mamata Banerjee herself in her own constituency. Experts believe that the change of power in Bengal was not driven solely by the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or the political rise of Suvendu Adhikari. Rather, it was the deep public frustration that ultimately proved decisive. Issues such as unemployment, women’s safety, corrupt...

New Challenge After Political Change in Bengal: Will Suvendu Adhikari Get the Freedom to Lead Independently?

Kolkata:Following the historic political change in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari has taken oath as the Chief Minister. However, the biggest question now being discussed across political circles is whether he will be given complete freedom to govern the state independently or whether he will merely be seen following directives from the central leadership. Discussions have intensified in political corridors regarding the real test that now lies ahead for Suvendu Adhikari in a politically sensitive and strategically important state like West Bengal. Winning an election is undoubtedly a major achievement, but fulfilling the expectations of the people is considered a far greater challenge. Political experts believe that if Suvendu Adhikari truly wishes to establish his own distinct identi...

Mamata’s Invincible Fortress Collapses in Bengal! Suvendu Adhikari Delivers Historic Defeat, 15 Years of Power and Pride Shattered

Kolkata:West Bengal witnessed a massive political earthquake this time as the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which had remained in power for nearly 15 years, was reduced to just 80 seats in its own stronghold. The biggest shock came when party chief and former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee suffered a crushing defeat by more than 15,000 votes at the hands of Suvendu Adhikari — a leader who was once considered an ordinary TMC worker in her own political territory. This was not the first occasion when Suvendu Adhikari held up a political mirror to Mamata Banerjee. Earlier, during the 2021 Assembly elections, he had also defeated her from the Nandigram constituency by nearly 2,000 votes. However, at that time, TMC had secured a majority in the state, which prevented her personal defeat from bec...

Clash Over Malegaon Namaz Sparks Political Debate in Maharashtra

Mumbai: The recent incident of Muslims offering Namaz at a government office in Malegaon has stirred political tensions in Maharashtra, especially during the ongoing budget session. State Minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane criticized the act, asserting that “India is a Hindu nation” and questioning the purpose of those involved. He asked, “Were these people elected for the development of Malegaon or to pursue jihad? There are plenty of mosques—why are they praying here?” Rane warned that action would be taken against such incidents. Reacting to Rane’s remarks, SP MLA Abu Asim Azmi strongly countered, stating that there are no terrorist activities in any madrassas in India. He suggested that CCTVs could be installed for verification and offered, “You can stay in a madrassa, have meal...

Rohit Pawar Demands FIR Against DGCA and VSR Airlines Over Ajit Pawar Plane Crash

Mumbai: Maharashtra legislator Rohit Pawar, from Sharad Pawar’s NCP faction, has taken an aggressive stand following the plane crash that claimed the life of former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. On Wednesday, amid the Maharashtra Budget session, Rohit Pawar visited the Marine Drive police station demanding that an FIR be registered against the private charter airline VSR and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Kerala to Be Officially Renamed ‘Keralam’; Rare Political Consensus Puts Identity at Centre Stage

New Delhi: In a rare display of political unanimity, the Union Cabinet has approved a proposal to officially rename the state of Kerala as “Keralam,” following a unanimous resolution passed earlier by the Kerala Legislative Assembly. The move has brought questions of cultural identity and linguistic authenticity to the forefront of state politics, especially in a year when Kerala is heading toward Assembly elections. The proposal received support across party lines — from the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) to the BJP and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) — making it an unusual moment of consensus in an otherwise fiercely competitive political landscape. Restoring Linguistic Authenticity Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has argued that “Keralam” is the state’s origi...
