The people of West Bengal seem to be getting ready for the change. They have had enough of jargons, false ideologies and politics of fake slogans. Narendra Modi’s vision and Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s legacy beckons.

Migrant workers returning to West Bengal are being herded into ill-kept and hastily-prepared quarantine centres, with complete disregard of the protocols.
