In a stunning political statement from the world of entertainment, TV star Rupali Ganguly has thrown her weight behind BJP for the upcoming West Bengal polls. From Mumbai, the actress confided in IANS about her fervent wishes for Durga Ma to bless Bengal with BJP governance.
Drawing from harrowing family tales, Ganguly described the TMC era’s terror on Hindu households. ‘Voting was impossible; goons intimidated us at home. My family of young girls trembled in fear,’ she recalled. Lamenting the transformation, she contrasted it with the idyllic Bengal of her childhood, famously sung as ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’ by her father.
Unsparing in her condemnation, Ganguly declared, ‘It’s shameful that Mamata Banerjee governs Bengal. Her actions are beyond brazen.’ Rallying voters, she stressed the need to expel infiltrators and dismantle the culture of violence. ‘Vote without hesitation for your children’s tomorrow—Amit Shah has promised safety,’ she invoked.
As West Bengal gears up for its 2026 assembly elections—polling on April 23 and 29, counting on May 4—Ganguly’s passionate plea highlights simmering discontent. With the assembly dissolving on May 7, her words could galvanize a shift towards BJP’s vision of a safer, prosperous Bengal.
