Just yesterday, Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, during her rally in North Bengal (Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar), brought up the 2019 general elections. What is our fault, she asked the people of North Bengal, for not letting us win even one of the eight seats?
A form of an answer to that today came from behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the backdrop of his window for the India-Bangladesh Virtual Summit. That palace behind Modi today is the Cooch Behar Rajbari. The home where Maharani Gayatri Devi grew up before being married into the House of Jaipur, and Jagaddwipendra Narayan Bhup Bahadur breathed his last in, before the Kingdom of Koch Bihar was integrated with India. The Rajbari has always served as a matter of pride, and more recently, as a backdrop for Instagram reels, for the people of the district.
