Mamata Banerjee

The party's state spokesman took the occasion of Maha Saptami, the first day of the four-day Durga Puja festival, to share the post on 'X' (formerly Twitter). "In 2024, @MamataOfficial will not just inaugurate Durga Puja in West Bengal. She will have to visit several states of the country to inaugurate Durga Pujas organized by the non-resident Bengalis," Ghosh posted this morning.

As a result of the injuries, the Chief Minister has been operating from her residence in Kalighat, South Kolkata, since the past month.

Trinamool Congress’s national General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has also expressed his joy over the development. "An immensely proud moment for all citizens of our great nation and Bengalis around the world. May Bengal forever remain a shining beacon of hope, embracing the teachings and ideals of Rabindranath Tagore," he wrote on X.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister said she met the President at the Dubai International Airport Lounge.

Although the Governor did not name anyone, his clear hint was towards the state education minister, Bratya Basu, who has launched scathing and unprecedented attack against the Governor over the issue of the latter appointing interim vice- chancellors for several state universities without discussion with or concurrence of the state education department.

Her remarks came in the wake of fresh summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday evening asking him to be present for questioning on September 13 in connection with the multi-crore cash-for-school job case in West Bengal.

Following this hike, the legislators will now be entitled to a monthly salary of Rs 50,000 a month, as against the existing amount of Rs 10,000. The monthly salaries of the ministers of the state have been increased from Rs 10,900 to Rs 50,900. In case of cabinet ministers, the amount has been increased from Rs 11,000 to Rs 51,000.

The Chief Minister on September 5 on the occasion of Teachers’ Day function had said that she would hold a protest outside the Raj Bhavan.

She said that this is a blatant attempt to distort the history of India.

Banerjee said that although she respects the people of Tamil Nadu and the entire south India, she is not in agreement with what Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Chief Minister and DMK chief M.K. Stalin, said about Sanatana Dharma.
