Overview
- Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee posted a tribute on X, declaring she could forget her own name but never Nandigram and saluting the movement’s 'martyrs.'
- Abhishek Banerjee said Bengal would humble the BJP at the ballot box and alleged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision amounts to 'silent, invisible rigging.'
- The BJP held a separate observance in Nandigram led by Suvendu Adhikari, who marched with black flags and called the 2007 events a 'blood-stained sunrise.'
- At the Shaheed Bedi memorial, Adhikari said supporting Mamata Banerjee’s rise in 2011 was a mistake and alleged some victim families were denied compensation, a claim the TMC rejects.
- The commemorations recalled the 2007 protests against land acquisition for a Salim Group-linked chemical hub, with multiple reports citing 14 deaths in police firing.
