How fish has BJP's plate full in West Bengal
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari visited Kalighat Temple for Kaushiki Amavasya prayers and accepted a traditional fish and basanti pulao bhog, a move that coincided with a BJP effort to distance itself from Bageshwar Dham leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s anti‑non‑vegetarian remarks. The episode highlights the party’s delicate balancing act between religious sentiment and political messaging in the state.
