The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Sunday announced a major mobilisation in the national capital, saying it will hold a “Jan Akrosh Rally” at Ramlila Grounds on March 24, marking the culmination of an extensive campaign across northern India against what it described as the “anti-people policies” of the Union government.
Counting of votes for the high-stakes Kerala local body elections, widely seen as a semi-final ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for April–May 2026, began at 8 am on Saturday.
Residents of Siliguri on Thursday witnessed contrasting scenes at the Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) board meeting, chaired by mayor Goutam Deb of the Trinamul Congress.
He also accused the police of enabling convicts in the TP Chandrasekharan murder case to consume alcohol under police escort at a bar.
It was remarked that this budget has been made to promote the interest of the capitalists. The CPIM has also sought to point out that the central government is feeling proud in its endeavour to sell off national assets. Chakraborty said that though the BJP has no role in nation-building, it is going to be remembered as ones who sold the country.
The CPI-M spokesperson Sujan Chakraborty said that on visiting South 24-Parganas district where the Gangasagar Mela is held one will see that the district authorities are shutting down all markets and shops since according to them, small village shops will spread Covid but a massive Gangasagar Mela that will draw lakhs of pilgrims supposedly has no chances of spreading Covid.
“Where is the chief minister going to admit patients who will rush to hospitals in large numbers after being affected by Covid? The state government ought to control the situation now. Several pilgrims are not even wearing masks and here we are witnessing a spurt in everyday caseload. This seems like a deliberate action by the state to put the lives of citizens in jeopardy”
“It is understandable that the ruling party wants to loot votes to win the civic polls. By setting the polling date on 22 January, it gives us no time for campaigns. It was apparent that the decisions being taken by the state government are preposterous since after announcing that trains services will be stopped after 7 pm, the government was forced to extend it till 10pm. Chief minister does not care as long as her entertainment shows and Ganga Sagar mela continues but is ready to compromise when it comes to essential things such as elections, train services, educational institutions and transportation,”
“When the advocate general had earlier claimed in court that the Bill has been signed by the Governor who subsequently denied having signed it, we knew and warned that one of them is definitely lying. The AG has now admitted that he lied to the court and has sought more time. He must be arrested for lying in the court and removed from the post if the state government still has any dignity left.”
