The Bengal ghuspaithiya debate | Big focus on India First

A political war has intensified in West Bengal ahead of the 2026 assembly elections, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government of facilitating illegal infiltration to alter state demographics for vote bank politics. Shah stated that the BJP, if elected, would end this practice. In a sharp rebuttal, Banerjee compared BJP leaders to mythological figures 'Duryodhan and Dushasan' and questioned why the central government's Border Security Force has not secured the borders. The controversy also includes debates on the issuance of identity documents to migrants. Separately, the report covers the diplomatic fallout from an upcoming film, 'Battle of Galwan'. Chinese state media has reacted strongly, accusing the film of distorting the facts of the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. This has led to analysis of the broader implications for India-China relations and the status of de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
