Ajouté : 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]Now it's after the swearing in ceremony prime minister met the families of the slain BJP workers late Shri Debashish Mandol and late Chomitra Gooshal and late Anandopal. Remember even during the first few rallies that were done by Amita the home minister in Bengal he had come out to claim very very clearly that the BJP hasn't forgotten what had happened in 2029. Each worker that's been slain in those violent episodes is recorded with the BJP and they haven't only not forgotten. But they will make sure that the way they pay respect to their martyrdom for that matter would be by winning this very election in 2026.

[00:00:47]That's become the reality for the BJP in this very state. Let me quickly bring in honor to the conversation here. An this comes in as as a big uh you know symbolic move as well by the by the chief minister at this point because the BJP was very clear all all the leaders the senior leaders of the BJP were very clear about one thing that they haven't forgotten 2021 and what happened post poll uh during that very period of time and this is I think one of the biggest examples of that very fact that the chief minister meeting these very victims families right after the oath ceremony took place.

[00:01:29]>> See, exactly. So what prime minister Narendra Modin did uh and it's a very kind to that pe that people the slain BJP workers family and we have seen that lots of people have lost their life right after the 2021 uh West Bengal assembly polls in the post pole violence as well as uh we have seen this year also if you have heard the Shuendu Adikari's speech right after he was announced as a CM Chubendu Adikari himself said that This bean is for all the slain BJP workers and all who did uh h much for this BJP party and that's why and also we have noticed today uh Prime Minister Narendra Modi has bowed down bo goes down to the public to the uh supporters of the Bengal as he said he he meant it that uh the public has made it possible and the public has made uh BJP comes into power in Bengal after 33 years after 32 years of uh left front uh left front and after 15 years of trul Congress and after independence is it is the first time that uh the BJP is gaining power in Bengal and they will rule the Bengal.

[00:02:48]>> Right honor well definitely a big day for the people of Bengal. uh a new era as we have been reiterating again and again a big change a tectonic shift in the political landscape of the very state that we see on we'll come back to you for more details in a little while but right now viewers let's quickly take you through some more details from that oath ceremony itself and the many ways in which it was historic so viewers it's the beginning of a new era in West Bengal and 15-year trinum whole rule under Mantaab Banerjee has come to an end. During the swearing in ceremony of Shuenduadikari, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the blessing of a 97year-old man at the swearing in ceremony. Now this was a very emotional moment. One could see from the very interaction that the two had and shared.

[00:03:41]This person let us tell you is Makunal Shar a Siliguri resident who was one of the senior most state leaders during the BJP's initial days. Now who is he? Shark was the first BJP district president of the Siliguri organizational district and a companion of Shama Prashad Mukhar Gi on his historic Kashmir tour. At the age of 97, he remains one of the early grassroot figures associated with the nationalist movement in the postindependence India. Makunal Sharkar resident of Dag village in Sriuri has been a dedicated member of the RSS since around 1945. Long before the BJP's current vision for West Bengal became a mainstream political narrative, Sarcar shared that very dream of rebuilding Bengal while working side by side with Dr. Shamat Prashad Mukharji. These are the very visuals that very moment and emotional exchange that took place between the two leaders.
