Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday asserted that West Bengal is witnessing the beginning of a political transformation, as he addressed a public rally in Sonamukhi ahead of the assembly elections. Highlighting Bengal’s rich legacy in entrepreneurship, culture, and education, he said the state once played a vital role in shaping India’s economic and intellectual growth. However, he alleged that years of governance under Congress, the Left, and the Trinamool Congress have led to decline and economic distress. Expressing optimism, Yogi said the spirit of “Vande Mataram” continues to inspire change, and claimed that the people of Bengal are now ready to usher in a new era.
