Bengali actor Dev, known for his previous association with Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC), has expressed his congratulations to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its historic victory in the West Bengal assembly elections. The BJP secured over 207 seats in the 294-member assembly, marking the end of the TMC's 15-year rule. In a heartfelt message on Facebook, Dev called on the new government to prioritize the state's progress, peace, and development, ensuring that the voices of the people are heard. He also urged the BJP to eliminate the prevailing ban culture in the Bengali film industry, advocating for unity and artistic freedom. Furthermore, Dev expressed his hope for governmental support in completing the Ghatal Master Plan, which he described as vital for the local community's future. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee has refused to resign as Chief Minister, claiming moral victory despite the BJP's electoral success.
