Bengal Govt Withdraws Award

The Bengal government's decision to withdraw the Banga Bibhusan award from BJP MP Nagendra Roy has sparked attention. Roy, a leader from Cooch Behar, was nominated to the Upper House from West Bengal in July 2023 as a candidate backed by the BJP. The award was conferred upon him in February this year by the Trinamool Congress government. The reason behind the withdrawal of the award is not specified. The development highlights the complex political landscape of West Bengal. The state has seen a significant shift in political dynamics in recent years, with the BJP emerging as a major force.
