"Gyanesh Kumar should be given the Padma Bhushan. People here grateful & happy that after so many years Bengal witnessed free & fair polls, people could vote without getting killed, Bangladeshi infiltrators were removed from the voters list. Have people ever seen such an election in Bengal before? Gyanesh Kumar has the blessings of entire Bengal. And I want him to be recognized with the Padma award"
