The Story in Brief
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari led the BJP government's second Tiranga Yatra in Kolkata on Monday, ahead of Independence Day. Ministers, officials, MLAs, students and ISKCON devotees joined the march. Adhikari said the event was part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mission to promote unity and patriotism. He urged a larger turnout for the August 15 yatra. The programme began with Vande Mataram and ended with the National Anthem.
The Indian Opinion
Another Tiranga Yatra, another photo-op. The event is meant to foster patriotism, but it feels like a political rally dressed in national colour. Across India, Independence Day has become a stage for parties to claim monopoly over the flag. A genuine display of unity would include all citizens, not just party workers. The real test is not march attendance, but whether leaders can keep politics out of the tricolour on August 15.
