News India Live, Digital Desk: Political Stir Intensifies in Bengal: New political bets are now being seen in West Bengal politics. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched the ‘language movement’ in Bolpur and made an election conch shell for the upcoming 2026 assembly elections. The move is a sign of his ‘Didir Suraksha Kavach’ scheme and the next phase of political strategies. This new ‘movement’ of Mamta Banerjee has been done by keeping the alleged ‘attack’ on Bengali language and culture at the center. He indirectly accused the BJP and the central government of trying to weaken the Bengali language and the cultural identity of the state. Addressing the public meeting in Bolpur, he called upon the protecting the culture and traditions of Bengal and appealed to the people to unite and stand against the external forces who want to eradicate the linguistic identity of Bengal. The officers believe that through this ‘language movement’, Mamata Banerjee wants to revive the issue of Bengali identity and regionalism, especially after the Lok Sabha elections. The issue of ‘Bhasha’ and ‘Bengali Gaurav’ can be a powerful way for the Trinamool Congress to get emotional votes and strengthen its traditional Bengali vote bank. It is considered to be the expansion of his previous strategies focused on ‘Dider Security Kavach’ and ‘Banglar Nizoswa Culture’ (Bengal’s own culture). The 2026 assembly elections are still far away, but Mamata Banerjee has already made her strategy clear, the focal point of which is the protecting the language, culture and identity of Bengal. This can make Bengal politics more interesting in the coming times.
