Politics In India

Suvendu Adhikari, leader of the opposition, leads a colorful march of BJP legislators from the assembly premises to the statue of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee on Red Road in central Kolkata, about two kilometers away, and garlands it in Kolkata, India, on June 20, 2025. The state BJP, acting on a central notification, marks June 20 to observe the state foundation day. On that day in 1947, the Legislative Assembly of undivided Bengal meets and votes in favor of partitioning the state between East and West Bengal. The latter stays with India while the former is included in Pakistan. (Photo by Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto)
