The Suvendu Adhikari government is criticized for the controversial transfer of IPS officer Bushara Bano, allegedly bowing to fringe groups over her religious greetings. The author argues this undermines inclusive secularism and constitutional values, repeating past governments' errors. Instead of focusing on crucial issues like jobs and education, the administration prioritizes trivialities, demonstrating high-handedness. The government must serve an expansive “public interest,” not social media trolls, and address the state’s governance deficit rather than deepening it with divisive identity politics.
