What a turn of fate! It has been just about a month since Mamata Banerjee lost power, and in Kalighat, her neighbourhood since childhood, nobody seems to recognise her or acknowledge her presence, let alone pay heed to requests to give her passage to the deity!

Two days ago, yet another instance of corruption was uncovered in the BF Block of Salt Lake. For a long time, residents have complained that they are denied entry to the BF Block grounds, premises that are locked up daily by a certain Rahul Chowdhury. Chowdhury claims that, several years ago, he had submitted an application to lease these BF Block grounds. However, when Dr Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the BJP MLA for the 116 Bidhannagar Assembly constituency, asked him whether he possessed any valid documentation for leasing the grounds, Chowdhury merely produced a “consideration letter” issued by the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation. The BJP MLA then proceeded to ask him to produce the actual permission letter from the BMC. Chowdhury was unable to produce any such valid document. For the past 15 years, throughout the three terms of the Trinamool Congress government, such illegal activities have been persistently taking place in Bidhannagar under the watch of the then-authority.

During an inspection of the Salt Lake AE Market this morning, Dr Sharadwat Mukherjee — the BJP MLA for Constituency 116, Bidhannagar — ran into a vendor operating a business, encroaching upon the roadside pavement. The man, who claims to hold a franchise for Sufal Bangla (a state government initiative), has been conducting business in this manner for the past several years. Furthermore, he hails from Basanti and possesses no valid photo identification whatsoever. The instance serves as a stark illustration of how, throughout Bidhannagar, small-time traders continue to illegally occupy pavements and conduct business day after day, simply by paying a monthly kickback to local political strongmen. The story is on the lines of that from the Canning railway station ( where an automobile mechanic claimed he had been paying somebody ₹50,000 per annum for years, and yet the police threw him out of the premises the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, a woman shopkeeper, on reaching her shop in Dum Dum, West Bengal, noticed that it was occupied. When she asked what was going on, the encroacher first said she could operate out of half the premises. When she disagreed, she was assaulted and molested. The victim approached the local BJP office and complained, saying that the miscreant wore saffron. It turned out he had no links with the party. MLA Arijit Bakshi (Dum Dum, AC-114), also a lawyer by profession, helped free her shop and assured the people that such criminal activities would not be tolerated, no matter who the suspect was.

Tapan Biswas, a Trinamool activist and close associate of Malabika Baidya, the Trinamool Councillor for Ward No. 127, has been arrested. Seeing him cornered, residents shouted, “Chor! Chor! (Thief! Thief!)”. Tapan Biswas is accused of extortion, threatening people and land encroachment.

After I shared a video of a cleaner Esplanade yesterday ( a few detractors said that the area was always empty, pretending not to know what spaces hawkers occupy. This video from Howrah makes it clear to those feigning ignorance. It’s along the pavements on either side of the road.

A new government has barely started its innings in West Bengal, and this CPM leader, Minakshi Mukherjee, wants to launch a “democratic movement” against it! Look at her sense of entitlement: She insists on going ahead with her programme without police permission!

Introspection and confessions continue 3-time TMC MLA from Chunchura, Asit Mazumdar: “Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee must take the blame. I am pained, thinking of Mamata Banerjee. She never felt for us, though. I feel sorry for her because she lost Bhavanipur at such an old age, which is very sad. People were no longer able to bear with the Trinamool Congress. The results speak for themselves; I have nothing to add. People have blessed the BJP, raising both hands. We have been reduced to 80-82 (seats). People’s trust in us certainly took a beating. We couldn’t persuade them. Our arrogance and vanity are at the core of our fall.”

After clearing railway areas outside stations of encroachments, the new Bengal government starts removing illegally squatting vendors from inside the stations, too. The larger window in the video shows the police action in Canning. In the inset, a vendor complains that his shop was shut down, although he has been paying Rs 50,000 a year to run his business at the station premises. On probing him deeper, it turns out that the illiterate man received no receipt for his payments, and he has no idea who exactly was collecting the online/UPI payment from him. Mamata Banerjee not only officiated over a downright corrupt regime but also pushed gullible ordinary citizens into corrupt acts, sometimes without their knowledge that they were violating the law, as they were made to believe the government of the day had authorised their trades!

The police today took Sujit Saha, the brother of Trinamool leader Ajit Saha, along to see where he hid his cache of firearms and a large quantity of cartridges in a plot of land in Machhlandapur. This town is next to Habra on the Sealdah-Bongaon railway route. It has been one of the most notorious stretches of West Bengal for criminal activities of the CPI(M) (1977-2011) and the TMC (2011-26).

The Ganguly family of Shyamnagar is finally relieved. For several years, Somnath Shyam, the outgoing TMC MLA of Jagaddal, obstructed the plot of land belonging to this family on Bharat Chandra Roy Road in Shyamnagar by fencing it off and displaying outside the cordoned off area the ‘Biswa Bangla’ logo. The obstruction was allegedly imposed because the family refused to sell the land at the throwaway price offered by the MLA. Yesterday, following the BJP’s victory in the West Bengal assembly election, party workers dismantled the barrier. Using bulldozers, they systematically demolished and razed to the ground all the walls that had been erected to block the property.

Voting hasn’t been 100% free and fair this time either, Election Commission of India & CEO West Bengal! This voter from Malda says no Hindu from his village was allowed to vote. He alleges that Trinamool Congress’s thugs stopped them and asked whether they would vote for Mamata Banerjee’s party. He refused and returned home without voting. I guess a few Hindus might have lied to get in, but that is no consolation. It does not matter that 400 Hindu votes wouldn’t alter the outcome when Muslim votes in the booth number thousands. What matters is the unfairness of the exercise and the assault on democracy.

Jayanta Ghoshal always thought he was so smart that no one could catch he was not a neutral journalist. But everybody did. News consumers did. Social media users did. YouTubers did. The BJP’s rank and file did. But when questioned whether he would quit journalism following Mamata Banerjee’s ouster from power, he is still being disingenuous in his answer.

This mother tells the CEO of West Bengal that her daughter, then a minor, was abducted during the post-poll violence of 2021, and the little girl hasn’t yet returned. The kidnappers, the mother says, told her before leaving with her daughter that this was a punishment for supporting the BJP.
