The TMC leader said that the party is making an attempt to highlight the thoughts and ideas of Rabindranath Tagore through music and songs.

Recently, Union Home Minister Amit Shah came on a two-day visit to West Bengal and went to Bolpur and visited a folk singer's house. He listened to the songs of Rabindranath Tagore and also paid a visit to Visva-Bharti, the birthplace of Tagore.

The politics in West Bengal is heavily revolving around Bolpur-Santiniketan ahead of the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections. Amit Shah visited Santiniketan and PM Modi gave a virtual speech on the centenary celebrations of Visva-Bharati University.

It is being reported that Mamata Banerjee has taken a two-day program in Birbhum-Bolpur to win the hearts of the people of West Bengal.

Slamming the BJP, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday said the BJP-led central government is targetting Nobel laureates like Amartya Sen and Abhijit Banerjee for narrow politics.

Addressing the media in Bolpur, the chief minister said, "I have been targeted politically. I do not mind that. Our educationists are being targeted and now they are feeling isolated. Nobel laureates like Amartya Sen or Abhijit Banerjee hold a different place in society. In all these years, they did not say anything on Netaji. Now they are vocal about him."
