Tribute to Satyajit Ray, legendary filmmaker, writer, composer, lyricist, illustrator, on his birth centenary. He is not only the pride of Bengal but also India & the whole world. He is an inspiration to people around the globe.

A very happy birthday to Virat
@imVkohli
!!
Wish him and his family all happiness and success!!
Thank you
@RahulGandhi
ji for your warm wishes.
People of Bengal have paved the way for the rest of the country. BJP's politics of hatred shall be booted out of India very soon.
I don’t trust Exit Poll gossip. The game plan is to manipulate or replace thousands of EVMs through this gossip. I appeal to all Opposition parties to be united, strong and bold. We will fight this battle together
My heartiest congratulations to Subho Paul, who has been selected to represent FC Bayern Munich World Squad in Germany.
At the young age of 17, he has shown the world what football truly means to Bengal - beyond sport, it's an emotion.
Proud moment for our country.
On this day 10 years back, I took oath as CM for the first time to serve the people of
#WestBengal
as we embarked on a new path for the state’s development.
I'm grateful to Maa-Mati-Manush for always blessing me with their trust. I pledge to take
#Bangla
to even greater heights.
We will continue to fight boldly!
I'm still in a lot of pain, but I feel the pain of my people even more.
In this fight to protect our revered land, we have suffered a lot and will suffer more but we will NEVER bow down to COWARDICE!
To protest against the undemocratic and unconstitutional decision of the Election Commission of India, I will sit on dharna tomorrow at Gandhi Murti, Kolkata from 12 noon.
Congratulations, Team India! Clean sweep of all three formats vs England in a spectacular finish! The better team always wins, no matter what the adversity! May the Boys in Blue continue to excel in future and bring more laurels for our country.
Now with the directive of
@EduMinOfIndia
to conduct NEET, JEE 2020 in Sep, I would again appeal to the Centre to assess the risk and postpone these examinations until the situation is conducive again. It is our duty to ensure a safe environment for all our students. (2/2)
I strongly condemn the barbaric incident in Lakhimpur Kheri. The apathy of
@BJP4India
towards our farmer brethren pains me deeply.
A delegation of 5
@AITCofficial
MPs will be visiting the families of the victims tomorrow. Our farmers will always have our unconditional support.
I am shocked at what is happening to senior journalist
@sardesairajdeep
It is also surprising how most in the media are silent on this issue. In our democratic system we must raise our voice. The media is an important pillar of our democracy
BUDGET HAS ZERO FOR COMMON PEOPLE, WHO ARE GETTING CRUSHED BY UNEMPLOYMENT & INFLATION. GOVT IS LOST IN BIG WORDS SIGNIFYING NOTHING - A PEGASUS SPIN BUDGET
I vehemently condemn the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, the sitting elected Chief Minister of Delhi elected by the people. I have personally reached out to Smt Sunita Kejriwal to extend my unwavering support and solidarity. It's outrageous that while elected opposition CMs are being…
Just got the news that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Ji has tested positive for COVID. Sir, our thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery
After having review meetings in Hingalganj & Sagar, I met the Hon’ble PM in Kalaikunda & apprised him regarding the post-cyclone situation in WB. The disaster report has been handed over for his perusal. I’ve proceeded now to review the relief & restoration work at Digha.
Shocked to hear that on Christmas, Union Ministry FROZE ALL BANK ACCOUNTS of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in India!
Their 22,000 patients & employees have been left without food & medicines.
While the law is paramount, humanitarian efforts must not be compromised.
I am happy with the news about the MP-ship of
@RahulGandhi
This will further strengthen the resolve of the INDIA alliance to unitedly fight for our motherland and win. A victory of the judiciary!
BJP is looting people by regularly hiking LPG prices. Women have been hit the hardest & I’m disgusted at Centre’s lack of intent to cut taxes & lessen their burden. In protest, today I’ll be leading an all women michil at Siliguri.
REDUCE LPG PRICES NOW!
#IndiaAgainstLPGLoot
Congratulations to the winners. But all losers are not losers. We have to do a complete review and then we will share our views with you all. Let the counting process be completed fully and the VVPATs matched
Amid an ongoing pandemic, we firmly opposed
@ECISVEEP
's decision to conduct WB polls in 8 phases.
Now, in view of the huge surge in
#COVID19
cases, I urge the ECI to consider holding the remaining phases in ONE go. This will protect the people from further exposure to
#COVID19
.
Shocked at the demise of ABP journalist Sulabh Srivastava in Uttar Pradesh.
Sad to see that despite "democracy & freedom" being a part of our ethos, we are unable to save lives who are working tirelessly towards unfolding the truth.
I am shocked by the brazen anarchy and total collapse of law & order in Uttar Pradesh.
It is shameful that perpetrators are now taking the law in their own hands, unfazed by the police and media presence.
Such unlawful acts have no place in our constitutional democracy.
Truly shocked and sad to hear the unfortunate news of the demise of very talented Sushant Singh Rajput. My condolences to his family, friends & everyone who admired his work.
Just came to know that our Brand Ambassador Shahrukh Khan has been detected covid positive. Pray fastest recovery for the superstar. Get well Shahrukh! Spring back asap!
People have been facing economic hardship of unimaginable proportions bcz of the ongoing pandemic. I appeal to Central Govt to transfer ₹10,000 each as one-time assistance to migrant labourers including people in unorganized sector. A portion of PM-CARES could be used for this.
Heartiest wishes to all on the occasion of
#EidUlFitr
. Let us celebrate this great festival at home. These are difficult times, but I am confident, we will overcome this challenge. My greetings to each one of you
One nation, one party, one leader shouts BJP all the time but to save lives they can’t have one price for vaccine.
Every Indian needs free vaccine, regardless of age, caste, creed, location. GoI must fix ONE price for Covid vaccine irrespective of who pays— Centre or the States.
My heartfelt congratulations to every single farmer who fought relentlessly and were not fazed by the cruelty with which
@BJP4India
treated you. This is YOUR VICTORY!
My deepest condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones in this fight.
#FarmLaws
Many congratulations to Priya Malik for winning the Gold Medal in the 73kg World Cadet Wrestling Championship. My heart is full of pride!
Wishing all our athletes the very best. May you keep shining.
The demise of Danish Siddiqui is a tragic loss.
He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist whose photographs were emblematic of the upheavals that our country witnessed in the past few years.
My thoughts & prayers are with his family, loved ones and colleagues.
Saddened to hear about the demise of Shri Milkha Singh Ji. A legendary sportsman, he will be dearly remembered.
My sincere condolences to his family, loved ones and fans across the world.
Today, the BJP's divisive politics has shamelessly overstepped constitutional boundaries. As per

Thank you very much for sending us your valuable opinions and suggestions. GoWB thus arrives at the decision of cancelling Madhyamik/Uchhamadhyamik examinations for 2021.
We will work out the best possible way to secure the future of our children.
I extend my wishes to everyone on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti.
May lord give all of us strength to fight all troubles & bless everyone with good health!
My heartfelt condolences to the family of Vikram Joshi, a fearless journalist who passed away today. He was shot in UP for filing an FIR to book his niece’s molesters. An atmosphere of fear has has been created in the country. Voices being muzzled. Media not spared. Shocking.
Cyclone
#Amphan
has left a trail of devastation beyond our thoughts. While the material damage is substantial, Bengal stands united in this time of crisis. Together we will overcome this because nothing can dampen the spirit and strength of the people of Bengal.

In PM Modi’s New India, Opposition leaders have become the prime target of BJP!
While BJP leaders with criminal antecedents are inducted into the cabinet, Opposition leaders are disqualified for their speeches.
Today, we have witnessed a new low for our constitutional democracy
Hearty congratulations to Abhijit Banerjee, alumnus of South Point School & Presidency College Kolkata, for winning the Nobel Prize in Economics. Another Bengali has done the nation proud. We are overjoyed.

Our children's future is my greatest priority. To this regard, we have formed an expert committee to decide over holding the Class 10th & 12th board exams in 2021.
We are also inviting views & opinion from parents, general public, sector experts, civil society & students. (1/2)

suffered a mild cardiac arrest and has been admitted to hospital.
Wishing him a speedy and full recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family!
Sorry for my delayed response on this. I was campaigning. The comments made by ‘Expiry PM’ ModiJi against fmr PM Rajiv GandhiJi are very unfortunate. RajivJi dedicated himself & laid down his life for the motherland. I condemn the language used & the audacity of such a statement
Saddened at the passing of Dr Smarajit Jana. He founded the unique cooperative of sex workers who went on to have bank accounts & identity cards which entitled them to social welfare benefits. Champion of marginalized & stigmatised women. Condolences to his family & admirers
Suspension of the 8 MPs who fought to protect farmers interests is unfortunate & reflective of this autocratic Govt’s mindset that doesn’t respect democratic norms & principles. We won't bow down & we'll fight this fascist Govt in Parliament & on the streets.

EC should rename MCC as Modi Code of Conduct!
BJP can use all its might but NOTHING in this world can stop me from being with my people & sharing their pain.
They can restrict me from visiting my brothers & sisters in Cooch Behar for 3 days but I WILL be there on the 4th day!
I condemn the recent heinous and atrocious hatespeech remarks by a few disastrous BJP leaders, resulting in not only spread of violence, but also division of the fabric of the country, leading to disturbance of peace and amity. (1/3)
Eid Mubarak!
Wishing everyone lots of happiness, peace, prosperity and good health.
Pray that our bonds of unity and harmony strengthen further. May Allah bless all.

I am shocked at the sudden saffronisation and change of colour of our Doordarshan logo when the national elections are taking place across the country! It is absolutely unethical, grossly illegal, and speaks loudly of the pro-BJP bias of the national public broadcaster!
How…
Strongly condemn the way Delhi Police manhandled Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and other wrestlers. It’s shameful our champions are treated in this manner. Democracy lies in tolerance but autocratic forces thrive on intolerance and quelling of dissent. I demand they be immediately…
Thank you
@narendramodi
ji for your wishes.
I look forward to the Centre's sustained support keeping the best interest of WB in mind.
I extend my full cooperation & hope together we can fight this pandemic amid other challenges & set a new benchmark for Centre-State relations.
Congratulations to Mamata Didi for

Back in Feb '21 & multiple times thereafter, I'd written to the PM stating our long standing demand to provide vaccines to ALL for FREE.
Took him 4 months but after much pressure, he has FINALLY listened to us & implemented what we've been asking all this while. (1/2)
Pleased to share that Calcutta University has been adjudged 1st among all Indian universities for merit & performance, as per the renowned Shanghai Ranking or Academic Ranking of World Universities 2020. CU has also ranked 3rd among all higher education institutes in India.(1/2)
Saddened at the passing of one of India’s most eminent jurists, and former Attorney General of India, Padma Vibhushan Soli Sorabjee. He dedicated his life towards the defence of the freedom of expression and protection of human rights. My condolences to his family and colleagues
Have no words to condemn the barbaric & shameful incident at Hathras involving a young Dalit girl. My deepest condolences to the family.
More shameful is the forceful cremation without the family’s presence or consent, exposing those who use slogans & lofty promises for votes.
Saddened at the passing away of the critically acclaimed film actor Irrfan Khan. He leaves behind a large body of work which will be his legacy for generations. I fondly recall him calling on me in Kolkata a few years ago. My condolences to his family, colleagues, fans & admirers

I have extensively reviewed the Disaster Management preparedness with regards to the impending Yaas cyclone today afternoon with all senior officers of relevant Central & State agencies along with DMs & SPs.(1/3)
It pains me deeply to see how apathetic the

I do not take any salary as an MLA or a Chief Minister & I have also foregone my MP Pension despite being a 7-time Member of the Parliament. I come from limited means. My primary source of income is from my creative pursuits, the royalties I generate from my music & books. (1/2)
