CPM candidate from South Kolkata Saira Shah Halim, said in a state where joblessness is high, there is a need to go beyond dole politics.

In Kolkata Dialogues, BJP’s West Bengal chief hits out at ruling Trinamool for lack of development in the state.

Under Article 361 of the Constitution, no criminal proceedings can be instituted against a Governor during his term in office.

Banerjee said, “History will witness how Bengal will rise in rage against Delhi’s conspiratorial regime and ensure their bishorjon (immersion).”

The man in the video alleges that Adhikari directed him and other BJP leaders in the area to "instigate" three to four local women to make rape allegations against three TMC leaders.

Speaking at a public rally in Purba Bardhaman district, Banerjee said my heart bleeds for the woman molested at Raj Bhavan and termed it a shame.

The governor has denied the allegations made by the woman, who is a temporary staffer at Raj Bhavan.

Shajahan's brother, Sheikh Sirajuddin, who the central probe agency believes has played a crucial role in the scam, has been absconding.

The Calcutta High Court on April 10 had given a strong blow to the Mamata government and had decided to order the CBI to conduct a thorough investigation into the Sandeshkhali case.

The claim came in the aftermath of a judgment of the high court on Monday, scrapping all 25,753 appointments made through the recruitment process of SLST- 2016 in West Bengal government-sponsored and aided schools.

On Thursday, Dahadrai's counsel suggested that the present case could be put to an end if Moitra was willing to "de-escalate" by undertaking that she would not make "palpably false" statements.
