TMC slams BJP over ‘citizenship' status of its 2 Bongaon MLAs
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: A fresh controversy has erupted over the citizenship status of two BJP MLAs in Bongaon, ratcheting up the political temperature between Trinamool and BJP over the special intensive revision (SIR) of poll rolls. The names of the MLAs' parents are missing from the recently published Bengal 2002 SIR data. The issue surfaced after the TMC-backed faction of All India Matua Mahasangha submitted a deputation to the Bongaon sub-divisional officer (SDO) on Tuesday, demanding the disqualification of Bongaon North MLA Ashok Kirtaniya. The organisation alleged that while the 2002 electoral roll contains the MLA's name — then a resident of Ghatbaur panchayat — it does not include the names of his father or other family members. The Mahasangha claimed Kirtaniya's father entered India illegally after 2010. Prosenjit Biswas, representing the Mahasangha, said: "We will approach the Union home minister and assembly speaker seeking Ashok Kirtaniya's disqualification as an MLA." Bongaon district TMC president Biswajit Das said, "Usually, the father's name appears in the voter list before the son's. Here, the son was registered first, the father later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Egypt Solar Panels: See How Much It Will Cost To Install Them (See Prices) Solar Panel | Search Ads Learn More Undo Let Kirtaniya prove this.

"Let TMC say what they want. I have all documents. They are making these allegations only to harass me," he said. Before this row could settle, similar allegations emerged against Bongaon South BJP MLA Swapan Majumdar. Trinamool accused him of being a Bangladeshi national, claiming that neither he nor his parents were listed in the 2002 rolls. Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, youth president of Bongaon's TMC's organisational district, lodged a written complaint with the SDO and also shared documents with the media. These included two Bangladeshi records — one from April 2022 in which the chairman of Nizamuddin Union Parishad claimed that Majumdar's family members were residents of Nishchintapur village in Gopalganj, and another from 1996 showing his father, Santosh Kumar Majumdar, as the seller in a land deed. TMC alleged that Majumdar moved to India after 2002 and illegally enrolled in the voter list in Palla under Gopalnagar PS. Denying the allegations, Majumdar said: "My father passed away before 2002. I moved to Mumbai for work, so I couldn't be physically present during voter list hearings, which is why my name was added later. I possess all necessary documents proving my Indian citizenship. TMC is trying to shield infiltrator Rohingya and grant citizenship to refugees." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Russell Wilson's wife Ciara inspires body positivity by proudly displaying her postpartum ‘beauty marks'

The Grammy-winning singer recently took to Instagram to proudly show her postpartum stretch marks, calling them a testament to her journey as a mother of four. The 'Level Up' star—who shares son Future, 11, with ex-rapper Future and daughters Sienna, 8, Amora, 19 months, plus son Win, 5, with husband Russell Wilson—didn't shy away from showing the reality behind motherhood. Ciara embraces her 'beauty marks' and inspires fans with powerful body positivity message Pulling down her waistband to reveal her skin, Ciara declared, 'I am a mom of my precious four babies and they have blessed me with these stretch marks. Why am I going to cover up when I can show off?' Her candid moment comes at a time when many public figures still face pressure to maintain unrealistic beauty standards, especially after childbirth. For Ciara, these marks aren't flaws—they're badges of honor. She reminded fans that everyone has moments of insecurity, writing, 'We all have moments when we don't feel great about our skin—I'm no different. I've been seeing SO many conversations lately feeling like we have to cover up or hide… What holds you back from showing your skin?' This message is consistent with the theme of her 2019 album Beauty Marks, which celebrates embracing imperfections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chile: New Senior Apartments (Prices May Surprise You) Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo At the time, she explained that the title track reflected her life's journey, saying, 'The idea [is] embracing your beauty marks; your scars as your beauty marks.'

Country singer Ella Langley cancels concerts with Morgan Wallen, here is why
Washington DC [US], August 13 (ANI): Singer-songwriter Ella Langley, who has been opening for Morgan Wallen on his I'm the Problem Tour, announced she was "sad" to be canceling the rest of her August performances to focus on her health, reported E! News. "The past several weeks have been tough," Ella wrote in a statement shared to Instagram, adding, "I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health--mind, body, and heart." She added, "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself." The singer further informed her fans that she is "ready to give you my all" when she returns to the stage in September. "Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down," Ella continued. "I'm so grateful for your understanding and your love--it truly means the world to me," reported E! News. It wasn't the first time the musician--who is nominated for the 2025 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist alongside Alex Warren, Lola Young, The Marias, Gigi Perez and Sombr--has been vulnerable with her audiences. In fact, she celebrated with her fans and her co-writer Joybeth Taylor last month when her song "Weren't for the Wind" hit No. 1 on country radio, reported E! News. "Theres no telling how many hours me and @joybethtaylor have put into having this moment together," Ella wrote in a July 6 Instagram post. "Since that day on my back porch (the day we wrote our first song) we've dreamt about getting a #1 together. Sure, there have been many days that it seemed pretty much impossible, but we always believed." She added, "Sitting a on plane flying back to Nashville with tears rolling out of my eyes thinking about how much we've talked about this moment and what it means to actually have it together. We did it," reported E! News. (ANI)
