Bengal CM holds second ‘janata darbar’, hears public grievances

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday (May 25, 2026) held his second ‘janata darbar‘, listening to public grievances and demands at the BJP’s state office in Salt Lake near Kolkata.

Hundreds of people, many of whom are job seekers, were seen queuing up at the party office since morning to interact with the CM.

These people were issued visiting slips while they waited for a first-hand interaction with Mr. Adhikari, who decided to hold regular ‘Janata darbars’ (people’s courts) to hear citizens’ issues after taking the oath as the Chief Minister of West Bengal on May 9.

Mr. Adhikari had held his first ‘Janata darbar’ on May 18 to hear people’s demands and grievances.

Several people, including students and locals, attended the interaction and spoke to the Chief Minister individually behind closed doors, submitting complaints ranging from local civic issues to allegations of ‘syndicate raj’.
