21st July –2026

  21 st July –2026 SARASIJ MAJUMDER 1.0       TMC (Ritabrata) i.e. The rebel Trinamool Congress faction lead by Ritabrata Banerjee will hold its 21st July Martyrs' Day (as per Mamata) rally at Mayo Road, near the Gandhi statue in central Kolkata. This location was secured after the faction received administrative clearance from the Kolkata Police. 2.0       TMC (Mamata Loyalist) has not yet finalized where they will hold this rally on that day. Possible Location that will be granted is ‘HAZRA PARK’. Who will come?? Threat: ‘Egg Therapy and CHOR CHOR’ SLOGAN by public. 3.0       INC: May organize the 21 st July rally at Brigade Parade Ground. My question: 21 st July—you belong to whom to day? And—by any interpretation, it can’t be called “Martyrs' Day”!   NOTE: REFER MY EARLIER BLOG ON THIS DAY FURNISHED BELOW. https://sarasij1majumder.blogspot.com/2026/06/21st-july-shaheed-dibas.html

BJD FORMED SHADOW CABINET

BJP SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS IN ORISSA

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

 

Mr. Patnaik has assigned various departments to 50 party MLAs to mirror or shadow the positions held by members of the Cabinet to hold the relatively inexperienced Mohan Manjhi-led BJP government accountable. It is the first time that a party has taken such a step at the state level formally.

This  could be seen as a lesson in politics for the rival INDIA opposition bloc in Lok Sabha.

In WESTMINISTER system, The Shadow Cabinet is made up of frontbench MPs and Members of the Lords from the second largest party, or official Opposition party.

 Shadow cabinet will  AUDIT decisions taken, and  work done by the inaugural Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in ORISSA. The opposition BJD assigned 50 of its 51 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) to various departments of the government to form this shadow government, a move akin to Britain’s Westminster system.

Mr. Patnaik is doing the real job of opponent-- missed in Indian polity.

The move by BJD president  came ahead of the budget session of the state assembly, slated to begin on July 22.  Right time. The BJD chief aims to kill two birds with a single shot here: Keeping the party united after being booted out of power for the first time in 24 years and also putting a check on the BJP government of  Mr. Mohan Majhi.

“The Opposition works as a watchdog of public interests in a democracy. By keeping a close watch on the performance of various departments of the state government and actively participating in the discussions related to them in the Assembly, it can help protect the rights of the people of the state as well as voice their concerns. Accordingly, Leader of Opposition (LoP) Naveen Patnaik has given responsibility to 50 elected members of the BJD to monitor various programmes of the departments,” BJD said in a statement.

The shadow cabinet ministers are expected to carefully monitor the work done by comparatively inexperienced new BJP ministers in the state.

For instance, former Finance Minister Prasanna Acharya has been asked to look after the finance department whereas former Energy Minister Pratap Deb will deal with General Administration & Public Grievance. Both of these departments are currently held by the CM himself.

Madhya Pradesh Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vishwas Sarang launched a scathing attack on Odisha's Chief Minister and BJD leader Naveen Patnaik. Sarang referred to Patnaik as the "shadow" Chief Minister, while describing Mr Majhi as the "real" Chief Minister of the state. I don’t like this disrespectful comment.

However—INDI Alliance should learn the lesson, and instead of disrupting the Democratic process, shall emulate BJD.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years.

PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OF INDIA |||STATUS OF VARIOUS DOCUMENTS

  PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OF INDIA STATUS OF VARIOUS DOCUMENTS SARASIJ MAJUMDER On document to establish Indian Citizenship, I have seen some confusing posts in Social Media. Hence, wrote, and shared this BLOG for information. Government of India does not currently issue a single, universal " CITIZENSHIP CARD " to its citizens. There is no standalone document that definitively proves Indian citizenship for Citizen of India. While there is a legislative provision under the Citizenship Act for the government to issue national identity cards, it has not been universally implemented for the general population. Important clarifications regarding existing ID cards as per LAW: Driving License : Driving License (DL) is a widely accepted, as official Photo Identity and Address Proof in India. It is officially recognized by banks, telecom operators, government agencies, and airlines. It has an expiry date, and the Number doesn’t change, even if you migrate to a new state, and ...
