The Story in Brief
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said on August 15 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India by 2047 would be realised through a prosperous West Bengal. He made the remarks after hoisting the national flag at an Independence Day event in Kolkata.
Adhikari described West Bengal as a land of nationalism and recalled freedom fighters Khudiram Bose and Matangini Hazra. He also called Syama Prasad Mookerjee the State’s architect. Police officers received commendation medals, while tableaux marked Mookerjee’s 125th birth anniversary. Vande Mataram was played alongside the national anthem to mark the song’s 150th year.
The Indian Opinion
The speech links a national target to a State slogan, but slogans will not show whether Bengal is becoming more prosperous. Claims that patriotism alone can deliver development are as thin as claims that a single leader can fix every economic problem. The useful test is measurable progress by 2047 in jobs, investment, public services and incomes, with State-level data showing whether West Bengal is closing its gap with India’s stronger-performing regions.
