When power is pursued through narrow, self-serving ambitions, democracy becomes the first casualty. Bangla-Birodhi BJP, having failed to earn the trust of Bengal’s people, now resorts to muzzling those very voices by stripping citizens of their voting rights. Democratic institutions are being bent to partisan will, dissent is criminalised,...

আমি ভয় করব না ভয় করব না। দু বেলা মরার আগে মরব না, ভাই, মরব না॥ The inhumane, undemocratic, authoritarian, and utterly unrepentant BJP is systematically dismantling Bengal’s peace, harmony, and hard-won democratic fabric while strangling our constitutional right to vote. Today’s massive march from Jadavpur 8-B Bus Stand to Hazra Crossing, propelled by the spontaneous participation of the common people, signals that the collapse of this brazen autocracy is inevitable, and the defeat of BJP is certain. A party submerged neck-deep in corruption, its turncoats and modern-day Mir Jafars grovelling at the feet of power, looting for themselves while inflicting endless harassment and suffering on Bengal’s people, now has the audacity to lecture us on honesty, integrity, and transparency? They have trampled the Constitution, mocked Bengal’s icons and intellectuals, crushed welfare schemes meant for the poor, terrorised citizens through the vindictive SIR process, and thrown innocent Bengalis into jail by misusing central agencies. But the blessings, prayers, love, and faith of our Maa, Mati, Manush are with us. When they weaponise the ED to silence us, we will thwart their dream of capturing Bengal through unbreakable democratic resistance. When they peddle fear, we will stand with the people through the politics of humanity. When they sow chaos, we will respond with compassion. Whey spread hatred, we will rise with love, solidarity, and dignity.

Today, standing before the people of Bankura, I felt once again the power of affection and trust that has always defined Bengal’s relationship with me. Bankura is a living archive of India’s artistic, intellectual and spiritual inheritance. This land cradled the divine journey of Sri Sri Maa Sarada Devi. It shaped the imagination of Jamini Roy, the pen of Ramananda Chattopadhyay, the genius of Ramkinkar Baij. The Bishnupur Gharana, enriched by Jadunath Bhattacharya, carried Bengal’s classical music into a new epoch. The terracotta temples of Bishnupur, the clay artistry of Panchmura, the elegance of Baluchari and Swarnachari sarees, the Dokra metal craft reflect the pulse of a people whose cultural confidence commands admiration far beyond India. Our Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkaar has worked relentlessly to honour this legacy with progress. And yet, there are forces who recoil at the sight of Bengal advancing without fear or favour. They assert that disruption and infiltration exist nowhere but here. Then I ask them how did tragedy strike Pahalgam? How did sorrow descend upon Delhi? Who answers for the families of 57 citizens lost to the rushed and hurried Special Intensive Revision exercise? Who carries the moral weight of their grief? Today, Bengalis live and work across the length and breadth of this country. Yet it is deeply disturbing that in several double-engine states, our people are being harassed and targeted merely for speaking Bengali, and are shamefully branded as “Bangladeshis.” When these Bangla-birodhi forces show such open disrespect for our language and subject Bengalis to humiliation simply for who they are, one can only imagine the threat they pose to our mother tongue, our identity, and our rich cultural heritage if they ever attempt to impose their politics on Bengal. Those who claim to wish well for Bengal must first show that they respect its voice, its workers, its language, its icons, its people. Bengal does not tremble before propaganda. Bengal stands firm, speaks clearly, acts decisively. Let it be known if even one legitimate voter is removed unjustly, the response will rise from the conscience of the people in Bengal, and echo with equal moral force in Delhi. Democracy cannot be edited at the convenience of any party. Rights cannot be cancelled by pressure. Citizens cannot be made to stand alone in the face of injustice. We have established 'May I Help You' camps across the state so that no person feels abandoned, unheard or powerless. I did not go to Bankura today to solicit votes. I went to uphold rights. I went to protect constitutional guarantees. I went because safeguarding the voice of the people is my only politics. I stand firmly with the people. Bengal has defeated injustice before, Bengal will defeat it again. Not through hatred, but through the unbreakable force of democratic unity. Joy Bangla!

Today, I attended janasabhas at Amdanga and Haripal, and led a padyatra covering Shibpur and Howrah Dakshin in support of our Maa-Mati-Manush candidates. The resounding uludhwani of our mothers and sisters, and the thunderous applause of our brothers, charged the air with an energy and emotion that words can barely capture. It is on the strength of this love, and with these blessings, that we press forward in our mission for Bengal's development. The zamindars sitting in Delhi have long treated Bengal as an afterthought, a state to be exploited during elections and ignored thereafter. The BJP makes sweeping promises to Bengal every five years, yet when the time comes to deliver, they withhold funds that rightfully belong to this state and its people. This is a deliberate betrayal. The people of Bengal have seen through it, and they will no longer accept it. Outsiders cannot understand Bengal, its soil, its soul, its centuries of culture and resistance. They come here with the politics of division; we answer with the politics of development. Trinamool Congress has stood by the people of Bengal through every storm, and we will continue to do so. This election is Bengal's moment to speak. To protect our heritage, our rights, and our dignity, I urge every community, every faith, every language to vote for Peerzada Kasem Siddiqui from Amdanga, Dr. Karabi Manna from Haripal, Dr. Rana Chatterjee from Shibpur, Nandita Choudhary from Howrah Dakshin, and joraphool candidates across Bengal. The time has come to democratically, decisively, and permanently bid farewell to the BJP from Bengal.
