Amit Shah Kolkata/Darjeeling: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday made a slew of promises targeted at north Bengal on Wednesday, including the withdrawal of “false” cases against Gorkha representatives and the inclusion of the Rajbanshi language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, which recognises official languages in India.He said the Centre was already working on a solution to the Gorkhaland issue for which it had appointed an interlocutor and held three meetings in Delhi to find a resolution, but CM Mamata Banerjee had refused to attend. “The people of Darjeeling are true patriots. They deserve their rights and justice, which have been denied to them,” he said. Addressing a poll rally in Jalpaiguri, Shah said a BJP govt would withdraw every false case lodged against political workers, regardless of party affiliation, and end what he called “police raj” in Bengal. He specifically mentioned Gorkha representatives facing hundreds of cases. Shah also warned Trinamool workers against poll-day violence and referred to the attack on BJP candidate Rathindranath Bose’s convoy. “I am warning Trinamool’s goons to stay indoors on April 23. Else they will be behind bars after May 5,” he said, adding that BJP would end “mafia raaj”. At a rally in Falakata, Shah accused the state govt of “stepmotherly” treatment towards north Bengal and promised to raise tea garden workers’ wages by Rs 500 and form a dedicated battalion in the state police for the region. Raising women’s safety, Shah cited the RG Kar, Sandeshkhali and Durgapur Medical College incidents. “If BJP forms govt, women would be able to roam freely even at midnight,” he said.

NEW DELHI: A long-pending reform to expand women’s representation in legislatures is gathering broad political support, with senior leaders welcoming the proposed implementation of 33% reservation from 2029, even as they flagged concerns over inclusivity.Former President Pratibha Patil, former Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar and BSP chief Mayawati said the move would strengthen India’s democratic framework by ensuring greater participation of women in legislative bodies.In a letter to PM Modi dated April 11, Patil described the initiative as a “transformative step” to ensure greater representation and participation of women. Calling it “far more than a legal provision,” she said it was “a powerful affirmation of our collective resolve to advance gender equality, foster inclusive governance, and build a stronger, more progressive India”.She added that the enhanced presence of women in Parliament and state legislatures would enrich debates with diverse perspectives and inspire future generations.Welcoming the proposal, Mayawati said her party supports the “long-awaited 33% reservation,” but cautioned that without sub-quotas, women from SC, ST and OBC communities may not fully benefit.Meira Kumar recalled the decades-long struggle, saying the effort would feel complete only after implementation.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’India In Talks With Many Countries Over Hormuz’: MEA Amid US’ Naval BlockadeTamil Nadu elections 2026: Freebies war heats up between DMK, AIADMK & rivals’Not Shehbaz Sharif’: Ex-Minister Fawad Chaudhry Calls Asim Munir ‘De Facto Leader Of Pakistan’TCS Row Explodes: Horrific Details Of Sexual Abuse, Conversion Claims Rock India’s CorporateWomen’s Reservation Bill A ‘Trick’ To Hike Lok Sabha Seats? | Delimitation | Slam Dunk With TehseenIndia Bloc Backs Women’s Reservation But Opposes Delimitation, Flags Risk Of Political Power Shift‘Completely Unacceptable’: Jaishankar Slams Attacks On Merchant Shipping At Azec Plus MeetWomen’s Quota Bill: Govt Clarifies 850-Seat Lok Sabha Plan, Opposition Flags Delimitation ConcernsIndian Delegation To Visit Washington Next Week To Resume Talks On India-US Trade DealDelimitation Row Escalates As TN CM Stalin Warns Of Statewide Protests123PhotostoriesGauranga Das shares 3 ways to deal with toxic family membersChef Vikas Khanna makes it to 100 Most Influential People of 2026: 5 success lessons to learn from his culinary journeyFrom growing up in a conservative family to shooting her debut music video without informing them: Naagin 7’s Kanika Mann opens up about her journeyAre you about to get fired? 3 warning signs to watch out for and 5 ways to save your job, shares Ankur WarikooChandigarh’s Billionaire Lanes: 5 premium regions where the city’s rich live6 desi Indian dishes among Top 32 Rice Puddings in the WorldRanveer Allahbadia’s girlfriend Juhi Bhatt is redefining traditional wedding dressing with contemporary elegancePriyanka Chopra recommends this must-try street food from Mumbai, and it’s not Vada PavFrom ‘Fleabag’ to ‘Arrested Development’: Some of the best dark comedy dramas to add to your watchlist5 iconic modern architectural buildings in India shaping contemporary cityscapes123Hot PicksIran warDisney layoffsPurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift Wedding DressCanada Citizenship GarbaUK Migrant Gay ClaimsCBSE Class 10 ResultNirav ModiOmar Tricolour RowKargil Statehood DemandIPL Points TableIran crude oilMeenu Batra
