A political row has erupted in West Bengal after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury wrote to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee requesting a three-day public holiday for Eid. Citing the Telangana government’s Ramzan SOPs, the request also includes a ‘one-hour Ramzan reprieve’ for employees during the holy month. The BJP has strongly countered this demand, questioning why similar relief is not provided for Hindu festivals like Navratri. The development is being viewed as a move to consolidate votes in minority-dominated districts like Murshidabad ahead of the upcoming elections. While the Trinamool Congress has not issued a formal response, the exchange has triggered a fresh debate over communal politics and polarization in the state. The report highlights how religious holidays and administrative SOPs have become the latest flashpoint between the Congress, BJP, and the ruling TMC in the Bengal political arena.
