Guv event: Didi in attendance, BJP absent

Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari and other BJP leaders decided to skip the event. Explaining his absence, Adhikari alleged the state government has “cunningly orchestrated’’ this event to wash off stain of scam on the education department.

On Thursday, which also happened to be the occasion of Saraswati Puja, eight-year-old Debanjali Roy initiated Bose to the learning of Bengali language and in return as Gurudakshina, the constitutional head of the state gave her a gift. The Bengal CM presented Bose Barnaporichoy (learning alphabet), written by Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
