Ganashakti Patrika (Bengali: গণশক্তি পত্রিকা) is the official mouthpiece of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) West Bengal State Committee, which first appeared as a fortnightly in 1967. Then it appeared as an evening daily for quite some time and finally converted into a full-fledged daily newspaper.
It is published in Bengali, with online and English weekly editions, and is read in the city of Kolkata and the surrounding area.
Although, a party mouthpiece, it covers wide range of issues including travel, literature, science, and technology.
A unique feature of the paper is its display on roadside wood boards throughout Kolkata and its suburbs allowing people who can't afford a newspaper to read it.
The principal catalyst behind transformation of Ganashakti was Saroj Mukherjee, a freedom fighter and CPI(M)'s state secretary during the 1980s. After Mukherjee's death his efforts were carried on by Anil Biswas, who was editor of the daily.
Dial, a telephone directory containing important and valuable numbers encompassing the areas such as hospitals, educations, celebrities , legislatures , party offices and sports is published by the Ganashakti.
