'Mausam badal gaya': Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari promises action against monks' insult, says govt will protect gaumata

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said that the government will protect Gaumata and jail those who insult monks at the Bhagavad Gita recital event organised by Bangur Jagaran Mancha at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata. The CM claimed that there is no harm to follow and “promote” a particular faith.

Addressing the event, the Bengal CM said that people can now recite the Bhagwat Gita and Hanuman Chalisa without hesitation. “Mausam badal gaya hai", which translates to "the winds have changed”. "Recite and distribute the Bhagavad Gita; distribute Hanuman Chalisa without any hesitation. Chant the Hare Krishna mantra, blow conches; there is nothing to be scared of. The winds have changed ('mausam badal gaya hai')," he added.

Tika, Sikha Govt Has Arrived

CM Adhikari then stated that the government of Tika, Sikha, Dhoti, and Tulsi has arrived. The government to protect 'gaumata' is here," he said at the event, which saw 11,000 people recite the Bhagavad Gita in unison. The chief minister further said his government "would imprison those who insult monks". He also urged the gathering to remain alert against divisive forces. "We all have to remain united and alert against the tukde tukde gang who raise the 'Kashmir maange azadi' slogan," Adhikari added.

Humayun Kabir wishes Bengal CM to die

In a separate incident, Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) chief Humayun Kabir said he wished for the death of Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. Kabir reportedly said that he would wish for Adhikari’s death while performing his Friday prayers. He then alleged that the CM’s officials were “disturbing” him.

“Will pray that very soon Allah takes Suvendu Adhikary. His police are disturbing us," Kabir was quoted as saying. Humayun launched a scathing attack on CM Adhikari, saying, "If we disrespect him, we will be ousted. I want him to become a former chief minister. During my Friday prayers, I will pray that he leaves this world as soon as the uparwallah gives him his ticket.”

He cited the deaths of political figures, including Ajit Pawar and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, as examples while making the remarks. “Look at how a former Congress Chief Minister from Chhattisgarh died, how Maharashtra’s Ajit Pawar died, or how Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi lost their lives. Is this level of arrogance necessary? Such arrogance always falls, and that is how we will eventually leave this world."

However, the leader soon changed his stance and took a reverse. He claimed that he would instead pray for BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari’s long life and expressed his desire to see him become prime minister. “I will pray for the long life of Suvendu Adhikari. I want Suvendu to become the Prime Minister," Kabir said, according to the statement.
