Overview
- Mamata Banerjee paid tribute on the anniversary, posting that she could forget her own name but would never forget Nandigram.
- Abhishek Banerjee said Bengal would “crush” the BJP’s arrogance at the ballot box and referred to the party as “zamindars of Delhi.”
- He likened the current voter‑roll review to alleged “silent invisible rigging,” presenting it as today’s version of the Left’s pre‑2011 “scientific rigging,” which remains a partisan claim.
- The commemoration recalls the 2007 protests against land acquisition for a proposed chemical hub, when police firing in Nandigram left 14 people dead.
- The BJP also observed the day, with Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari leading a black‑flag march in Nandigram to mark the anniversary.
