Suvendu Adhikari Urges Inclusion of Vidyasagar’s Books in State Libraries, Rejects Mamata’s Works

Former West Bengal minister Suvendu Adhikari has publicly requested that state‑run libraries add the works of renowned scholar R.K. Vidyasagar to their collections. In the same statement, he urged that books authored by Mamata Banerjee not be purchased or displayed. The call reflects the ongoing political rivalry between the two leaders, with Adhikari positioning himself as a proponent of classical literature over contemporary political narratives. While no official policy has been announced, the remarks are likely to spark debate among library administrators and political observers alike.
