  "account": "West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari criticized the previous Trinamool Congress government, accusing it of lacking understanding of nationalism and attempting to transform the state into a greater Bangladesh. During the Bhumi Pujan of a new BJP party office in Tamluk, Purba Medinipur, Adhikari referred to the government's adoption of Bangladesh's 'Joy Bangla' slogan and their creation of a distinct state song, flag, and promotional song. Additionally, he accused the previous administration of promoting division by singing a separate song for the state, designing a unique flag, and embracing Bangladesh's 'Joy Bangla' slogan. Adhikari urged citizens to maintain unity and support Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cautioning against the infiltration of 'Dimagi Naxal', 'tukde tukde' gangs, cockroaches, and termites in the region.",
