West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said she has withstood many physical injuries in 34 years of political life during which she was attacked many a time
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said the various injuries she has received during her long political career of protests often surface, but she never allows “the pain to come in the way of work”.
Banerjee, who was addressing the ‘TV9 Bangla Nakshatra Samman’ virtually on Wednesday, said the recipients of the award have made the state proud with their achievements. “I withstood many physical injuries in 34 years of political life during which I was attacked many a time. These wounds often create problems as the pain revives. But I never let the pain come in the way of my work,” she said in a telephonic interview to the news channel.
The chief minister has been advised to take rest for 10 days by doctors after various old injuries caused her problems during her recent two-nation official tour.
Eminent personalities, including painter Jogen Choudhury, writer Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, poet Joy Goswami, classical vocalist Ajay Chakraborty, elocutionists Jagannath Basu and Urmimala Basu, magician PC Sorcar Junior and NASA scientist Amitava Ghosh, were bestowed with the ‘Nakshatra Samman’ for their contribution in respective fields.
The celebrated 70-year-old poet, Goswami, revealed that he still hunts for the right words and expressions every time he writes despite having started as early as 11.
Ghosh said the recent Chandrayaan-3 success has enhanced the country’s standing, and most members of the global scientific community were happy with the work done by their Indian colleagues as this would help India move towards more missions to different planets, including the Venus. The world is now on the cusp of an EV revolution, and in 10 years, electric vehicles will be everywhere, he said.

The Election Commission (EC) told its poll machinery in Delhi on Thursday to ensure a revision and updating of the electoral rolls, in accordance with statutory provisions, with the involvement of political parties, sources said.
The commission emphasised the need for rigorous compliance with its instructions while updating the voter list in Delhi, where elections are due early next year.
The sources said the poll panel has told officials in Delhi that representatives of political parties should be involved in the electoral roll revision process with “fullest transparency and disclosures”.
It has said that all complaints and grievances from the political parties should be resolved promptly and factually.
The Delhi chief electoral officer and other officials concerned were also instructed that the lists of claims and objections must be shared with the political parties on a weekly basis and published on the CEO and district electoral officer websites.
Additionally, no deletions are allowed without conducting a field verification and providing the electors with a notice to ensure that they have an opportunity for a hearing, the EC has told the CEO and his officials.
The officials have been directed to look into the issues raised by the political parties with regard to the revision of the electoral rolls and submit factual details for a further review by the commission.
This comes against the backdrop of an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) delegation meeting the poll authority on Wednesday to urge it to halt any deletion of voters’ names from the electoral rolls ahead of the Delhi Assembly election.
The term of the Delhi Assembly ends on February 23 and the polls are likely to be held in February itself.
