00:00West Bengal Chief Minister Shuvendu Adhikari who performed Gav Puja on the day of Bakar Eid.
00:05Bengal Chief Minister who was seen and he is contemplating offering puja after banning cow slaughter on the day of
00:12Bakar Eid.
00:13Shuvendu Adhikari who sent out a loud message clearly stating no Bakar Eid namaz that will be held at Kolkata's
00:19Red Road.
00:20This as he put an end to decades of namaz on public road.
00:25Antha Banerjee who regularly joined the namaz that happened on Red Road and with the change in leadership now Shuvendu
00:32Adhikari making it very clear, sending out a loud message that public namaz will not happen, I beg your pardon,
00:38namaz will not happen on public road, that is the Red Road in Kolkata.
00:43Listen in to what he said.
01:11The Red Road
01:13Anuqam Mishra now joining us on the broadcast.
01:16Anuqam, the message is loud and clear.
01:18This is a change in leadership and this means new way of life for the people in West Bengal while
01:24he says that namaz will not be performed publicly on Red Road and also the puja that he did, which
01:33sends out a clear message.
01:38Well, yes, West Bengal Chief Minister Shubendu Adhikari today visited Iskorn Temple in Mayapur on the day of Bakar Eid
01:46and he had performed Harinaam Sankintan there.
01:50He had also offered puja and he had also visited the Gaushala in Iskorn Temple where he has worshipped cow,
01:58that is Gav Puja there.
01:59So, it's a very clear and loud message from Chief Minister Shubendu Adhikari aligning with his manifesto and what they
02:10have said about the cow slaughter.
02:15And the day is very important, on the day of Bakar Eid, he is visiting Iskorn Temple and he is
02:21worshipping cow, performing Gav Puja.
02:24So, it's a very clear and loud message that Hinduism is the main core of the BJP and they will
02:33follow and perform according to the Hinduism in West Bengal.
02:41Exactly, exactly opposite of Mamata's ways and Mamata's style of governance and largely acceptance also in the state as you
02:48would be able to reflect to how people are receiving this message.
03:03Can you hear me?
03:09Hello, can you repeat your question?
03:11Yes, what I was trying to say Anupam that the message is clear.
03:16It is exactly in contrast to Mamata's style of governance and Mamata's ways and the picture is speaking for themselves.
03:23Largely also to say that there is understanding on the ground when it comes to the people of West Bengal
03:28as there is acceptance, no disruption of law and order and you would be able to reflect on that.
03:39Well, we are witnessing a very different kind of things in West Bengal after Shubindu Sarkar came to power and,
03:45you know, today on the day of Bakar Eid,
03:48the usual, the namaz on Bakar Eid which they usually performed on iconic Red Road had been shifted to Brigade
03:56Parade Round
03:57and we had also spoken with a few namazes. We got a very mixed reaction. Some of the namazes told
04:04us that they are happy that the arrangements were good
04:06but some of the namazes said that arrangements were not so good.
04:10But a clear distinction from the past, from the last 15 years, what we have seen in the Mamata regime
04:18that things were totally different.
04:20The Red Road were closed on the day of Bakar Eid and other Eid festivals and this time the namaz
04:31had been shifted to iconic Brigade Parade Round
04:36and the traffic was not stopped at iconic Red Road. And on the day of Bakar Eid, Shubindu Adikari visited
04:43Iskorn Temple.
04:44On the other hand, we had, we used to witness that Mamata Banerji on the occasions of Eid, she had
04:52participated in the Eid programme
04:55but this time they had also called Chief Minister Shubindu Adikari on this Brigade Parade Round
05:01but he did not went there. He went to Iskorn Temple and visited and performed puja and worshipped Kao there.
05:10Alright, Anupam, many thanks for getting us those details.
05:15And the big showdown in Bengal over Bakar Eid celebrations this year that we just saw after the new Shubindu
05:21government in Bengal
05:22that reduced the official Bakar Eid holiday from two days to one.
05:26Crowded streets in Kolkata as seen every year were empty this year.
05:30This is also in contrast with the images that came from 2025 where then Chief Minister Mamata Banerji worshipped with
05:37Muslims on the occasion of Bakar Eid.
05:39West Bengal Chief Minister Shubindu Adikari who visited the Iskorn headquarters instead in Bengal's Mayapur earlier today.
05:46Shubindu Adikari took part in a traditional gao puja ceremony.
05:50Chief Minister clad in a wide dhoti kurta performed rituals barefoot in temples gao shala before offering fruits and sweets
05:57to the cows.
05:58Shubindu Adikari also met with Iskorn monks and temple management during his visit.
06:03A sizable crowd of devotees assembled at the temple eager to see the Chief Minister perform the religious ceremony.
06:09After several years prayers were not conducted on Red Road where they had traditionally been held twice a year during
06:16Idul Fitar and Idul Adha under previous regimes
06:20including the left front between 1977 and 2011 and TMC between 2011 and 2026.
06:27Kolkata also witnessed a change in arrangements for Idul Adha prayers with namaz held at Brigade Parade ground instead of
06:35the customary Red Road venue.
06:36This for the first time in several years.
06:40Shubindu Adikari was anges of a
06:44Shubindu Adikari.
06:46Shubindu Adikari was also seen in her Morningston,
06:48Shubindu Adikari, Shubindu Adikari,
06:56and also being gathered from the number ofカハwis Kusumam.
