Shocking news of huge embarrassment of TMC leaders, violent anger of the public and police action are continuously making headlines from across the state.
In this series, the biggest action has been taken against the powerful TMC leader Jahangir Khan, who has strong political influence in Falta assembly constituency of South 24 Parganas, who has been arrested by the police. Jahangir Khan, who once roared from the stage, is now in police custody.
Used to call himself ‘Pushpa’, but left the field before the elections.
Jahangir Khan has been very famous in Bengal politics for his dominance and film style. During the 2026 assembly election campaign, Jahangir had presented himself like Allu Arjun, the hero of the superhit South Indian film ‘Pushpa’. He tried to show the public that he is a very strong and invincible leader, who will never succumb to any investigation or administrative pressure, by raising his collar several times in public meetings and uttering the famous dialogue “Pushpa… Jhookega Nahi Saala”.
How did the arrogance come out?

Ran 48 hours ago: Due to alleged large-scale rigging and irregularities during the elections at Falta seat, the Election Commission 21 May 2026 Was ordered to conduct re-voting.
