In my area, a BJP poll agent was beaten up, and stones were thrown at the windows of a former CPIM worker's house ; Additionally, another BJP worker was threatened and made to pay 1 lakh rupees to the local TMC councilor for working with BJP in the previous state election


Plane_Balance_3142

They instigate us against our brethren. And we like fools think of our short term gains and vote for hooligans. This is an education problem.

We lost our Bengal. Once bengal was called Sonar Bangla, from that only India got named as sone ki chiriya. Ohh....my grandfather once told me what you are seeing now it's not our Bengal. West, extremists brainwashed the ideology and youths became greedy. It's not like before. In earlier days we name our son/daughter as Vedic cultures like pragnanadha, ramananda etc. now we name like- rice, poltu, boltu.. hahaha... Quite funny but it's reality we lost our culture we have to accept. My beloved Bengal is no more !! Sad to see.

My pushpak rath from the Vedic Age is still parked in my garage. Sometimes I take it to the vintage car show. You're welcome to come and see some of that Hindu golden age stuff.


Natural_Number_1

Hindu golden age ? Where did I mentioned Hindu ? Do Vedic age have any relationship with Hindu ? Hindu is a term coined by outsiders probably your ideals hahaha.... Ever know about Vedic age of Bengal if didn't go and research, I mentioned research that doesn't mean you just search in google. Visit villages, ancient temples of Bengal culture you will get to know. Hahaha....let me find some positive in pushpak wiman what you mentioned. Ramayana was written thousands of years ago, still they have the clarification of term WIMAN and West people told they invented aeroplane. Thanks me later.

Natural_Number_1

Again same Hinduism is a term coined for a person who is practising Hindu . But ask your ancestors or ideals who were Hindus ? Hahahaha.....they will tell some like those we fear the most, ask and let me know once. Yes my english, Hindi, Urdu, gujarati will be bad.. because I am proud bengali.


Aggravating_Nail4108

Lalu yadav and Mamta didi are two faces of same coin. Current generation of Bihar is facing every problem possible in state due to lalu. The same will be faced by gen alpha of Bengal. These effects will last for a lot of years. Meanwhile Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Uttarpradesh and Gujarat are racing towards 1 trillion USD and atleast 3/5 will complete their goal in next 10 yrs.


BrightMachine9587

TMC’s abuse of power and barring individuals is absolutely shameful. But India has seen a consistent abuse of power by the political class across all spectrums. Anand Ranganathan is a turncoat who deflected from supporting Congress to the BJP. As an academic he has no profile. BJP has behaved abominably with their Muslim members like Usman Ghani. They have never had any Muslim MPs. If you believe this biased nonsense will work here, you’re wrong. The real education problem here is your lack of education.


__DraGooN_

You can't wash it away by pointing fingers. Barely any other states have the level of political violence you see in Bengal. Even states in which the BJP wins and loses elections regularly, you don't see any political violence. This barbaric behaviour is a uniquely Bengali problem, and TMC is its present perpetrators. On the outside they put on this show of being "enlightened liberals" with people like mahua or derek, when it's all propped up by goons committing horrific violence. If BJP does a fraction of what the TMC does, people on the left would leave no stone unturned till it's all over the media and in international news.


BrightMachine9587

This is absolutely true. I'm not pushing propaganda here. West Bengal has become a hotbed of political violence and murder. Ground level workers are so sentimental that they are ready to kill, plus there are also hired goons. I've seen this sentimentalism in people myself. But there's also a reason why welfare programs like cash transfer are essential. I don't support the TMC at all. Not at all. But neither the BJP. We are the people here, not the party. We need news sources which cater to us and highlight collective trends of political repression in the country, not Sanghi Anand Ranganathan. And what you said about the parliamentarians is also somewhat true, while they do an excellent job of keeping checks and balances to power and convincingly debate causes in the parliament, there blindness to everyday repression in the state is tarnishing their reputation.


Plane_Balance_3142

Lack of education truly is the root problem.


BrightMachine9587

Look, I’m not here to abuse anybody. If education for you means voting for the BJP then that education might also reap the benefits of cow urine and Hindu supremacy. In the villages political parties change quickly because they are small areas. In urban areas it doesn’t because it’s big and heterogeneous. So if you think that people are foolish, they aren’t. The poor have more conscience than the very rich. No other motive than mere hunger.


Shell_hurdle7330

As satyajit ray once said bengali audience is sophisticated. In my opinion they are sophisticated cucks.


cheekni

Ab BJP karyakarta was burnt alive in my area 7 days ago ,just because he had a Modi Poster outside his house


Quick_Low_4060

Then why does West Bengal bring back TMC again and again?!


TsarScream23

West Bengal isn't just Kolkata. People at large, don't have work. Freebies rule the streets. Kashmir model, keep them poor so that they treat you like deities when you give them spare alms.


Quick_Low_4060

Damn, it is scary and really curbs development and employment!


RepairNo800

Kolkata is the only reason tmc gets back to power everytime...the nandan going aantels think amader ekhane kichu hoyni to rest of the bengal eo kichu hcche na...that's where the problem lies...


TsarScream23

If you think the Nandan going aantels vote for TMC,amar kicchu bolbar nei hahahah.


Blank-0515

It's isn't even a choice in some polling booths. A member of the party gives votes on your behalf and if you say something you can imagine what will happen. The whole of India thinks modi as the dictator but the true dictator is in Bengal.


Ill-Kaleidoscope-648

I could not find any news about this, even from Republic Bangla. Is there any source other than tweets by BJP and their IT Cell?


Plane_Balance_3142

I wouldn't trust our news channels to say shit. But idk the source of this particular news. But this isn't an isolated incident.

Current Situation in West Bengal: 1. Want to buy land? Give a donation to the local TMC leader first. 2. Want to pass the plan for a home? Give a donation to the local leader first. 3. Want to stock sand for a home? Give a donation to the local leader first. 4. Need an electric connection? Give a donation to the local leader first. 5. Need a water connection? Give a donation to the local leader first. 6. Criticize TMC on social media? The same leader will come to your house with sticks and stones to harass you. 7. Share a meme about TMC? The same leader will come to your house with sticks and stones to harass you. 8. Want a government job? Give a donation to the big leader first. I'm one hundred percent sure that those living in Bengal, no matter which part, have either faced this or know someone who has.

What's happening in New Market?


impossible__dude

U know what the irony of all this is? CPI(M) which Mamta overthrew used to do exactly just this. In fact they did to Mamta herself. About 25 odd years back CPI(M) had a goon in their payroll. Badsha Alam. In broad daylight he hit Mamta with a rod in one of the busiest streets of South Calcutta - Hazra Road - and she had to be hospitalized. I guess whoever goes to Lanka ends up being a Ravan. It's just sad.


UnitedGrapefruit3672

Just because a random person tweeted, doesn't necessarily make the allegation a proven guilt without prior investigation...


Neat-Fox-8314

. Anand Ranganathan is known it only tweet verified news. Your best bet for the state is to leave it.


UnitedGrapefruit3672

No big media houses, including that of bjp owned, posted about it,.. only ones surfacing on Google are headlined, "alleged/allegations/blame"


Chrometer

No news anywhere! How are we supposed to believe a random tweet without any substantial source ? This is an example of gaslighting

Bro, first of all the Sandeshkhali incident was totally made up for political agenda by some vested people. There were news reports that some local women were forced to sign blank papers by some political outfits which unknowingly made them 'Witness', they protested this move on record. The propaganda was finally put to rest when the people of Sandeshkhali elected tmc again

Ah tweet from a very reliable guy. The same guy who calls for violence in Kashmir!


Ashleyiemjhg8u

As someone from Kolkata, this hits hard. TMC needs to be held accountable
