Mamata Banerjee

In April 2023, Mamata Banerjee had claimed, “Koyekta choto choto ghotona ghote chilo election er por, samanno ghote thake sob jaigai (Some small-time incidents took place after elections. These happen all the time at other places).” 

West Bengal politics currently appears to be at a turning point. The BJP is exuding confidence after its historic victory, while the TMC appears to be teetering between introspection and discontent.

Truck drivers travelling through Jharkhand-Bengal border routes said highways were often filled with unauthorised “nakas” where money was collected from commercial vehicles.

Upon assuming power in Bengal, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari made the security of the India-Bangladesh border a top priority in his very first cabinet decisions.

In order to properly administer the legislation it has passed, Parliament may create more courts under Article 247. A Bengal Atrocities Tribunal with a defined jurisdiction could be established by a specific legislative act passed by a government with the mandate currently held nationally by the BJP.

CM Adhikari announced on 11th May 2026, that the process of handing over the required land to BSF, with over 90% already identified, would be completed within 45 days. The BJP government in West Bengal aims to enable the BSF to erect fencing and secure vulnerable stretches presently exploited by Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators.
