FROM DIDI TO DADA

Even with the final figures yet to come in, it is certain that ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has defeated BJP on two key counts seat and vote share. The Mamata Banerjee-led has either government bagged (or is leading in) 29 seats up from 18 in 2019-out of 42, while its vote share has gone up by approximately 3 percent; the BJP, in turn, has lost at least half a dozen seats compared to that in 2019.

SHE DIDIT AGAIN

What went wrong for BJP in Bengal? Nothing perhaps worked for the Saffron camp and it seemed like it was a repeat telecast of the 2021 Assembly elections when the exit polls and the poll pundits went on a hyper mode to give the BJP 200 out of 294 seats.

Read all stories from The Free Press Journal - Mumbai

The Free Press Journal - Mumbai Newspaper Description:

The Free Press Journal is one of the oldest English Daily newspapers from Mumbai with a heritage of more than 90 years. And yet, The Free Press Journal is a contemporary paper and rooted in current urban realities.

In keeping with the international trend, it has reinvented itself in terms of design, get up and content. It means different thing to different people – a platform for the articulate, a trendsetter for the young and a chronicle for the old.

It was at the forefront of freedom struggle against the British and continues with the free and fearless journalism till date. Indeed, the history of The Free Press Journalism mirrors that of Indian independence.

Swaminath Sadanand, a 30-year-old idealist from Madras trudged his way to Bombay and with a vision that was to prove uncomfortably ahead of his day, brought out a newspaper as unorthodox in character as it was innovative in concept. For Swaminath Sadanand, the Free Press Journal was not so much a business venture as a cause.

The spirit with which he launched the paper and ran it for almost three decades helped it make it an integral part of two great Indian movements — the struggle for independence and the evolution of Indian publishing.
