Adhikari Predicts Trinamool’s Decline Over Next Century While Honoring 2007 Martyrs

During a solemn Martyr Day event in Gokulnagar, East Midnapore, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari combined remembrance with a forward‑looking political forecast. He honored the victims of the November 10, 2007 clashes that pitted CPI(M) activists against a Trinamool Congress‑led land‑eviction panel, an episode that claimed several lives and left many missing.

Adhikari praised the late Buddha Dev Bhattacharya, who headed the state government during the turmoil, calling him a "good person in a bad party." He stressed Bhattacharya’s personal honesty and generosity, while critiquing the party’s overall conduct.

The chief minister also highlighted his recent interaction with Mira Bhattacharya, who had been ill. He recalled her earlier endorsement of his industrialisation agenda and assured that he intends to realise the development projects Bhattacharya left incomplete.

Referencing senior CPI(M) leader Biman Bose, Adhikari reiterated his commitment to the promises made during the Nandigram agitation, noting that the promised "new sunrise" still guides his administration nineteen years on.

In a striking conclusion, Adhikari warned that the Trinamool Congress is unlikely to retain any meaningful role in West Bengal politics over the next hundred years, signalling a dramatic shift in the state’s political dynamics.
