The Trinamool Congress will table a motion to celebrate April 15, the first day of Bengal new year, as the state’s foundation day, opposing the Raj Bhavan and BJP’s push to observe it on June 20, a day linked to Partition.
Mamata Banerjee said, “I am with INDIA nationally, but here in Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Congress are together. They also formed a board together for the panchayat polls.”
In 2012, Mamata Banerjee’s government had announced a special grant for Imams and muezzins, giving them a stipend. Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, will Banerjee make any special announcement for the minority community?
The petitioner claimed that Banerjee's speech had provoked violence during Ram Navami celebrations. However, the Court dismissed the plea after noting that it was poorly researched and based on a few newspaper reports.
