CM Suvendu 'Bengal to set up Vande Mataram Museum'

On the occasion of the 189th birth anniversary of Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, the writer of India’s National Song, ‘Vande Mataram’, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday announced the setting up of ‘Vande Mataram Museum’ in the state.

The Chief Minister participated in a programme to celebrate the birth anniversary of Rishi Bankim Chandra at the latter’s ancestral residence at College Street in North Kolkata. After garlanding the picture of the writer of the Indian national song, he announced the proposed Vande Mataram Museum.

“This is for



the first time; any event is being organised by the state information and cultural affairs department to celebrate the birth anniversary of Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. The previous regime only practised appeasement politics. 

But now a national government is here in West Bengal. So, such nationalist activities will now take place regularly. Anyway, it is better not to discuss thieves, robbers, lechers, and cheats in the house carrying the memories of Rish Bankim Chandra. There are other places for that,” the Chief Minister said while speaking to the media persons at the end of the programme.
