On August 28, 2026, in his Bhabanipur constituency, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari of West Bengal observed Raksha Bandhan at Ambedkar Colony. The celebration extended to over four thousand locations statewide. Adhikari emphasized the pledge to work towards a 'Viksit Bharat' as envisioned by Prime Minister Modi. He urged the identification and confrontation of enemies within the nation. The Chief Minister described his administration as 'strong'.
Adhikari also participated in a non-political Raksha Bandhan program where 'Vande Mataram' was sung by ten thousand voices. At this event, he reaffirmed his commitment to restoring nationalism both inside and around Jadavpur University (JU). He lamented the destruction of Bengal's traditions during the 34-year tenure of the Left Front government, claiming Trinamool Congress (TMC) had tacitly supported these anti-national activities.
Adhikari promised that his government would not endorse such behavior. He vowed to eradicate the 'threat culture' within the JU campus, either allowing it to persist or stepping down himself.
