Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary Declares Bengal, Birthplace of Shyama Prasad, as Our Land

April 21, Kathmandu – Following the lead maintained by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the vote count of the West Bengal assembly elections, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has expressed his happiness. Through the platform ‘X,’ he publicly shared his views, honoring the people of Bengal as “aware and patriotic.” Chaudhary stated, “The Bengal where Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was born is our land.” He further conveyed heartfelt and endless congratulations to the vigilant and nationalist people of Bengal for giving BJP a historic mandate in the West Bengal assembly elections.

Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was an influential leader in Indian politics who, in 1951, along with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. This Jana Sangh later reorganized in 1980 as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP regards Mukherjee as its ideological founder and a role model. Chaudhary interprets the BJP’s initial lead on Bengal soil as a triumph of Mukherjee’s legacy and nationalist sentiments. Current indications suggest that BJP is moving forward by securing a clear majority in Bengal.
