Bengal BJP govt’s first month: From anti-corruption drive, border fencing to new welfare schemes | Political Pulse News
Mass arrests without due process raise concerns about abuse of power.
The newly formed BJP government in West Bengal has taken several significant steps in its first month, including transferring land to the Border Security Force for border fencing and expanding the state's flagship subsidized food program. The government has also launched an anti-corruption drive, arresting over 300 TMC leaders accused of corruption. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has promised to tackle issues like illegal infiltration and address concerns about welfare schemes. However, the government has faced criticism for its "bulldozer culture" approach to evicting street hawkers without proper rehabilitation. The BJP government is still in its early stages and faces a long road ahead.
