The pitch of the BJP since 2019 has been that the Congress has scant regard for India’s icons if they don’t belong to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP made the point that even those who had contributed immensely to the freedom movement were forgotten by the Congress. Both the Congress and TMC were accused of neglecting Bose even as the BJP held a slew of programmes in the state to pay tribute to Bose.
