West Bengal Makes Vande Mataram Mandatory In School Morning Assemblies Suvendu Adhikari Government Issues New Directive For State Schools The West Bengal government has made the singing of Vande Mataram mandatory in all state-run and aided schools during morning assemblies. The directive was issued by the School Education Department shortly after the new government led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari assumed office. According to officials, all students must participate in singing the national song before the start of classes, and school authorities have been instructed to ensure strict implementation across the state. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari confirmed that Vande Mataram would be introduced as the official prayer song in schools from next Monday. The Education Department also directed schools to maintain records of the assemblies, including video documentation, as proof of implementation. Debate Over Assembly Duration And School Practices Earlier, most schools in West Bengal traditionally sang only the national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, composed by Rabindranath Tagore. The previous government had also introduced Banglar Mati Banglar Jol as the state song during assemblies. With Vande Mataram now added to the routine, some teachers have reportedly raised concerns regarding the duration and sequence of songs during the limited assembly time. The move comes amid broader national discussions surrounding the importance of Vande Mataram and recent proposals by the Centre to strengthen laws against obstructing the singing of the national song.

Killing of Suvendu Adhikari’s Aide Triggers Political Tension in West Bengal Kolkata | May 7, 2026: Political tensions escalated in West Bengal after Chandranath Rath, a close aide to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, was allegedly shot dead in Madhyamgram in North 24 Parganas district. Police suspect the killing was a planned and targeted attack that took place late Wednesday night. Following the incident, BJP leader Arjun Singh accused Abhishek Banerjee of being behind the murder, alleging it was politically motivated and aimed at intimidating party workers after the recent Assembly elections. The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has denied the charges and condemned the killing. According to police sources, Rath’s vehicle was intercepted in the Doharia area by armed assailants who allegedly trailed him using a car and a motorcycle before opening fire at close range. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was rushed to a private hospital, where he later died. His driver was also injured and is undergoing treatment in Kolkata. The BJP termed the incident a targeted political attack and demanded a thorough investigation, linking it to the ongoing confrontation between the BJP and TMC in the state. Party leaders said the killing reflects rising tensions in Bengal’s political landscape following the election results. Meanwhile, the TMC has called for a court-monitored probe, stating that political violence has no place in democracy. The incident has further intensified the charged atmosphere in West Bengal, where sporadic clashes and unrest have been reported in several districts since the elections.
