West Bengal withdraws Banga Bibhushan from BJP MP Ananta Maharaj
The West Bengal government has revoked the Banga Bibhushan award given to Ananta Maharaj. This action follows his controversial remarks describing Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose as a war criminal. The state government had previously honored the BJP Rajya Sabha MP with this prestigious award. This withdrawal intensifies the political friction between the state government and the BJP. Ananta Maharaj is a prominent Rajbanshi leader from north Bengal.
