Bengal's political shift on display: CM honours Mookerjee, Ex-TMC Municipality chairman humiliated

Two developments from West Bengal offered contrasting snapshots of the state's evolving political landscape. In Hooghly, former Tarakeswar Municipality chairman and senior TMC leader Sapan Samanta was allegedly humiliated by local residents over corruption allegations, with videos showing protesters garlanding him with shoes and pelting eggs and tomatoes. Meanwhile in Kolkata, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and BJP leaders paid tribute to Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his death anniversary, highlighting his role in the creation of West Bengal and national integration. Together, the two stories reflect growing challenges for TMC and a renewed focus on historical figures in Bengal's political discourse.
