In 2047, 'Vikshit Bharat' dreams will be realised through 'Viksit Bengal': Suvendu
The Vikshit Bharat dreams of our Prime Minister by 2047 will be realised through Viksit Paschim Banga by that year, says West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari declared on August 15, 2026, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a prosperous Viksit Bharat 2047 would be realized through the development of Viksit Paschim Banga by that same year. Hoisting the national flag on Independence Day, Adhikari emphasized West Bengal's rich history as the homeland of nationalism and freedom fighters like Khudiram Bose and Matangini Hazra.
He described the state's commitment to fulfilling the dreams of Viksit Bharat, drawing inspiration from the state's two prominent luminaries - Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Rabindranath Tagore. The latter composed the national anthem Jana Gana Mana, while Chattopadhyay drafted the national song Vande Mataram, both of which inspired unity among Indians.
During the Independence Day celebrations, Adhikari acknowledged the state's police force by awarding medals to officers for their commendable service. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, the song was performed alongside the national anthem during the parade, which featured colorful tableaux including one dedicated to Syama Prasad Mookerjee, who was born 125 years earlier.
