Suvendu Adhikari, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, addressed the public today, calling out CPI(M) book stalls for their emphasis on a festival named ‘Sharodotsav’. He urged the stalls to shift their focus toward the traditional celebrations of Durga Puja, which he described as a more fitting cultural event for the season.
The statement was made during a routine briefing, with Adhikari stressing the importance of aligning cultural messaging with the broader community’s expectations. He implied that political groups should prioritize the local heritage and common festive spirit of Durga Puja.
The CM’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the role of political parties in promoting cultural events and the influence of party-sponsored book stalls in shaping public discourse during the festival period.
