#BJP In West Bengal

[buttercuparry]

See I don't know if I should support the ban of The Kerala Story or not. On one hand it acts like a catalyst that further tries to incite hate and divide on communal and religious lines. It absolutely is a propaganda in a atmosphere where islamophobia is rampant and where the nationalist hindutva freaks are constantly looking for anything and everything to justify their hate. But my question is won't this ban be politicized and used as "see! They want to hide something! That's why they are suppressing our voice and banning the film under the guise of secularism!" Etc etc. Besides what about a free media? But then again after what people have done with The Kashmir Files, where the violence that happened was exaggerated and the exaggeration then got used to instill a feeling of being at war with a religious community, it doesn't take much to conclude that the Kerala story too is a work of the same political genre. So I personally don't know what to say. Like in the US you have copaganda. Is it better to ban those shows? Or to let it run but form your own educated decisions.

Can it even be compared because in India it is a propaganda against a community and the resulting boiled over pots would be riots and targeted assaults on the people of the community

Jitendra Kumar Tiwari: The Controversial Political Journey

Jitendra Kumar Tiwari, a prominent political figure from Asansol in West Bengal, has recently found himself embroiled in controversy once again. Formerly associated with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and now a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tiwari's political trajectory has been marked by significant ups and downs.

Tiwari's latest controversy stems from allegations made by the TMC, accusing him of meeting a National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer to conspire against TMC leaders in exchange for money. These claims have been vehemently denied by Tiwari and the BJP.

Born in Asansol, Tiwari began his political career in 2006 with the TMC, contesting his first Assembly election from Raniganj. Over the years, he held various positions within the TMC, including mayor of the Asansol Municipal Corporation and TMC MLA from Pandabeswar. Tiwari's fluency in Hindi proved advantageous in Asansol, a region with a significant Hindi-speaking population.

In 2021, Tiwari switched allegiance to the BJP amid internal disputes within the TMC. He contested the Assembly elections on a BJP ticket but faced defeat. Despite this setback, Tiwari remains a key figure in Asansol politics, especially considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Recent events have further intensified speculation around Tiwari's role in the BJP's electoral strategy for Asansol. With the BJP yet to announce its candidate for the seat, Tiwari's name is circulating as a potential contender due to his local roots and Hindi-speaking background.

Amidst the unfolding political drama, Tiwari has threatened to file a defamation suit against those making allegations against him. He remains steadfast in his commitment to the BJP's cause in Asansol, emphasizing the electorate's support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi regardless of the candidate.

The unfolding narrative surrounding Jitendra Kumar Tiwari underscores the complex dynamics of regional politics and the evolving landscape of West Bengal's political arena.

Political Controversy Erupts as Police Block Visits to Sandeshkhali: Congress and BJP Delegations Stopped

The political atmosphere in West Bengal has become charged following the police’s obstruction of visits to Sandeshkhali by both Congress and BJP delegations. The BJP’s planned visit saw a diversion to the West Bengal Raj Bhavan, while Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury staged a protest where he was halted.

The actions of the police drew sharp criticism from both parties, with accusations of unconstitutional and unethical behavior directed towards West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The six-member BJP delegation, including Union Ministers Annapurna Devi and Pratima Bhowmick, was halted merely five kilometers from Sandeshkhali, at Rampur. Similarly, the Congress team, led by Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, faced obstacles at Sarberia and Rampur. The parties condemned these actions in unison.

The unrest in Sandeshkhali has led to the imposition of prohibitory orders under CrPC Section 144, following violent protests by local villagers. Allegations against local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shahjahan Sheikh and associates include land grabbing, sexual harassment, and assault on local laborers.

Reports indicate that the BJP leaders were stopped by the police upon reaching Rampur, where they alleged mistreatment and were compelled to stage a dharna for hours. Annapurna Devi expressed dismay, highlighting the contradiction of allowing criminals freedom while impeding elected representatives from addressing citizens’ concerns.

BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul emphasized their attempts to comply with regulations, only to be met with persistent obstruction. Despite this, the delegation managed to connect with women in Sandeshkhali via video call before redirecting their efforts to the Raj Bhawan in Kolkata to meet Governor C V Ananda Bose.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s protest in Rampur underscored his questioning of the legitimacy of police barricades on public roads. He dismissed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s allegations linking the BJP and RSS to instigating trouble in Sandeshkhali, condemning what he deemed divisive politics.

In contrast, TMC MP Shantanu Sen defended the police’s actions, questioning the BJP’s motives and citing their alleged lack of proactiveness in previous incidents. Sen echoed the sentiment that allowing the BJP delegation entry could destabilize the state’s atmosphere.

BJP Faces Exodus as Leaders Depart in West Bengal

While the BJP celebrates the influx of prominent leaders from other states, West Bengal presents a contrasting picture, with key figures leaving the party fold. In a surprising turn of events, a sitting MLA and MP have defected to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the past week, signaling a shift in political allegiances.

The departure of leaders like Jhargram MP Kunar Hembram and Ranaghat Dakshin MLA Mukut Mani Adhikari comes as a blow to the BJP, especially in regions where it had made significant inroads. Hembram’s decision to step away from politics, citing a focus on social work, raises questions about the party’s prospects in tribal-dominated areas like Jangalmahal.

Hembram’s victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls was hailed as a breakthrough for the BJP in a region long considered a stronghold of the TMC. However, the party’s failure to secure victories in subsequent Assembly elections has raised doubts about its sustainability in the state.

Adhikari’s defection, particularly significant given his stronghold in the Matua community, underscores the complexities of West Bengal’s political landscape. The Matua community, with its sizable population and influence, has been a key battleground for the BJP and the TMC, especially in light of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).

The TMC’s assertion that the exodus from the BJP signifies its decline in Bengal is met with skepticism from the BJP camp. Despite internal rifts and public dissent, party spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya remains confident in the BJP’s prospects, emphasizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity and the unwavering support of the people.

Nevertheless, the defections and internal discord within the Bengal BJP present challenges as the state gears up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The TMC, buoyed by recent gains and strategic acquisitions, sees an opportunity to capitalize on the disarray within its rival camp, particularly in North Bengal.

As the political landscape in West Bengal continues to evolve, the fate of the BJP hangs in the balance. With leadership transitions and shifting alliances shaping the narrative, all eyes are on the upcoming elections to gauge the trajectory of Bengal’s political future.

Left-Congress Combine Dents BJP's Prospects in Bengal: Analyzing the Impact

In the latest election cycle, the Left-Congress alliance emerged as a formidable force, significantly affecting the BJP’s performance in West Bengal. Despite the BJP banking on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) to win over voters, the combined opposition of the Left and Congress, along with other factors, played a crucial role in the BJP’s setbacks.

The Left-Congress alliance secured 12% of the vote across West Bengal’s 42 Lok Sabha seats, influencing the outcomes in at least 12 seats. Their presence also impacted the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in three to four seats in North Bengal. The coalition, comprising popular and senior leaders, aimed to maximize their seat count. While they did not increase their tally significantly, their vote share saw a notable rise.

Election Data Insights

According to Election Commission data, the Congress-Left combine’s performance notably affected TMC’s chances in seats like Balurghat, Raigunj, and Maldaha Uttar. For instance, in Maldaha Uttar and Raigunj, Congress candidates secured over 2 and 3 lakh votes respectively, contributing to TMC’s losses in these constituencies by margins of 77,708 and 68,197 votes.

In terms of specific outcomes, the Congress contested 12 seats, winning one — Maldaha Dakshin — and securing second place in Baharampur and Jangipur with a 19% vote share. A senior Congress leader noted an increase in their vote share compared to the 2021 Assembly election, particularly in North Bengal and Murshidabad.

The Left’s Impact in South Bengal

In South Bengal, the CPI(M) managed to regain a minor share of the Hindu vote, previously consolidated in favor of the BJP. This shift was crucial in affecting the BJP’s prospects in around a dozen seats. For example, in Asansol, BJP’s S S Ahluwalia lost by 59,564 votes, while the CPI(M) candidate secured over 1 lakh votes, contributing to TMC’s Shatrughan Sinha’s victory. Similarly, in Arambagh, the CPI(M) secured over 92,000 votes, narrowing the TMC’s winning margin to 6,399 votes.

The CAA’s Limited Impact

The BJP’s reliance on the CAA to win over the Matua community, which has around 1.5 crore Dalit members who migrated from Bangladesh, did not yield the expected results. Despite the BJP notifying the CAA rules ahead of the polls, their performance in the six Matua-dominated seats was underwhelming. The BJP retained Bangaon and Ranaghat with a slight dip in vote share but lost Cooch Behar. TMC retained the other three Matua-dominated seats — Krishnanagar, Barasat, and Bardhaman Purba.

TMC’s Counter Campaign

BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya accused TMC of misleading the Matua community regarding the CAA, creating fear and confusion about potential detention camps. TMC’s campaign effectively countered the BJP’s narrative, maintaining their hold on significant Matua-dominated constituencies.

Conclusion

The Left-Congress combine played a crucial role in shaping the electoral landscape in West Bengal, affecting both BJP and TMC’s performances in various constituencies. The combined opposition’s strategic influence, along with local factors and effective counter-campaigns, underscores the complex dynamics at play in Bengal’s political arena. As the dust settles, these results highlight the importance of coalition politics and voter perception in determining electoral outcomes.

I am so done with this state! It's a fucking joke! Mamata conducted a rally demanding justice for RG Kar when it is her party safeguarding those criminals. Who the fuck is she protesting against? Also, she called the attack on RG Kar a work of the opposition, when it's very clear who did this. She stood there on the stage, sprouting nonsense, while several known female faces or so-called celebrities (who didn't bother to make a single post or comment on the incident) just stood there listening to all that bullshit. I don't know how to feel about anything that is happening right now. I am tired of all these political parties using such a heinous incident to fulfil their selfish  interests. I am tired of people voting for Mamta. I am tired of the so-called educated overlooking the problems that are there in the state government. Just because CM is a woman doesn't make this state progressive and safe for us. I am so done with Kolkata and West Bengal. I don't have any hope left. MAMATA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE WOMEN (OR ANY ONE TO BE HONEST) OF WEST BENGAL. TMC IS NOT THE LESSER EVIL OR A LIBERAL PARTY. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND ARE COMPLETELY RUINING THE STATE. IT'S HIGH TIME PEOPLE START ACKNOWLEDGING THIS.

PS: Please don't send me messages telling me how Bengal should give a chance to Bjp. They are the same! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WOMEN OR COMMON PEOPLE. They are NEVER THE RIGHT ALTERNATIVE.
