Trinamool Congress firebrand Kunal Ghosh dominated headlines from his Sunday media briefing in Kolkata, where he extolled ‘Banglar Yuva Sathi’ as irrefutable proof of Mamata Banerjee’s visionary governance. Brushing off BJP attacks, he framed the youth unemployment relief as a natural progression of Bengal’s welfare revolution.
Eligibility covers 21-40-year-olds with secondary qualifications, providing Rs 1,500 monthly aid till jobs materialize or five years elapse. Enrollment via local camps runs February 15-26, effective April 2026.
Ghosh stressed continuity: ‘From Rupashree to nearly 100 schemes, we’ve fortified social welfare. This isn’t a stunt—it’s commitment.’
His broadside against BJP was unrelenting. ‘Hypocrites who labeled our aid ‘begging’ now replicate it—Bihar included. They promised 2 crore jobs; delivered zilch. Mamata Didi delivers real progress; they peddle empty rhetoric.’
On the distressing student suicide bid post-exam failure, he insisted, ‘Purely personal, under probe. Such tragedies are down from past levels, with Bengal drawing students nationwide—a win for our ecosystem.’
Ghosh concluded on a high note, saluting Banerjee’s tenure and rallying youth to engage with the scheme, underscoring TMC’s edge as BJP trembles.
