Ahead of the 2021 Assembly elections in West Bengal, India, the current ruling state party, the Trinamool Congress, appears to be about to leave. Acting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has left the bases and is flocking to the ruling BJP in the Center. Eight MLA, including Minister Shuvendu Adhikari, left the Trinamool Congress and joined the BJP in the presence of Union Interior Minister Amit Shah in Midnapore on Saturday. Among those who joined the BJP on this day were some leaders of other parties, but most of them belonged to the Trinamool Congress.
On Saturday, Amit Shah claimed that the tide of popular neglect would continue. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be alone at the bases during the elections. He will remain the sole leader and sole worker of the party. In the next election, the BJP will win 200 of the 294 seats in West Bengal. At a press conference on Sunday, Trinamool leaders mocked Amit and said the BJP was demanding so many seats by splitting a Shuvendu.
Trinamool leader and panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee said: “We had news of Ishuvendu’s defection earlier. So we were not surprised. Some people have raised their voices. We do not believe it. We have a leader named Mamata Banerjee. Mamata’s popularity is our strength. And neither our party nor the government are there. But Congress and the CPM haven’t been in government for a long time. Some have also left their team. It is a political disease. There is nothing wrong with taking a Shuvendu.
Subrata Mukherjee said: “We do not call it a political party, we call it treason. The people of Bengal will recognize this group of traitors.
Apparently one of the main reasons behind the departure of veteran leaders is grassroots infighting. That has been made clear in the statements of the resigned leaders.
Sunil Mandal, a former Trinamool MP from Burdwan East, joined Amit Shah’s meeting in Midnapore. Kalwana Trinamool MLA Biswajit Kundu was recently removed from the position of party town chairman and Devprasad Bagh, known as the leader of his opposition group in the area, was appointed to the position. Since then, Biswajit Babu has not been seen on the match program. He held a meeting with the grassroots leadership in Kolkata on Thursday. On this day, Biswajit Babu demanded a reorganization in the local party leadership at that meeting. He postponed the decision to leave the party with the guarantee that he would be considered. But as you will know Friday night, a Trinamool MP claimed he was in the party before that consideration was fruitful. Annoyed, he contacted Shuvendu Adhikari.
Saikat Panja, a Montessori MLA in the same district, had not publicly expressed her displeasure with the party before. Going to the BJP, the grassroots group has pointed the finger at the problem of politics.
Aside from Shuvendu, three East Midnapore MLAs have joined the BJP. They are Banasree Maiti, Trinamool MLA from North Kanthi, Tapsi Mandal, CPM MLA from Haldia and Ashok Dinda, CPI MLA from Tamluk.
According to Banasree, I entered politics after seeing Shuvendu. I will go his way.
The leftist MLA Tapsi claimed that he could not work for the party. And Amulya Maiti, the leader of Sabang, claims that the main reason for his resignation is a dispute with Manas Bhuiyan.
Ghazal MLA Dipali Biswas won the CPM ballot with the support of Congress in the 2016 assembly elections. That same year, she and her husband Ranjit joined the rank and file under Shuvendu. That day the couple went to BJP.
Local sources claimed that Shukra Munda, an MLA from Trinamool from Nagarkata, and Dashrath Tirke, a former Trinamool MP from Alipurduar, had switched parties after seeing the increasing influence of the BJP in tribal areas and the Dwars tea belt in the latest polls from Lok Sabha. However, knowing that these two leaders will come to the party, the BJP workers held protests in different places in Dwars on this day.
The BJP is leading in most areas of the district, including Purulia Municipality, in terms of the Lok Sabha survey results. According to political observers, Sudip Mukherjee switched parties in hopes of becoming an MLA again, leaving the ranks, and joining Congress to become an MLA. Sudip, who is known to be close to Shuvendu, said that people now want the BJP.
Former Purshura MLA Parvez Rahman, who has been in the party since Trinamool’s birth, was angry that he did not get a ticket in the last assembly elections. Going to BJP, he claimed that Trinamool did not call him to partner with Shuvendu. People need a platform to work. So I joined the BJP.
Shyam Mukherjee, a former minister of state and former mayor of Bishnupur in Bankura, recently lost his position as city administrator. Shyambabu claims that he left the grassroots without having the opportunity to work for the people.
Kanishka Panda, who was recently expelled from the Trinamool district in East Midnapore, Dhirendranath Patra joined the BJP today. From the west, the party has changed district council members Amulya Maiti, Ramaprasad Giri, Tapan Dutt, Kaberi Chattopadhyay, former Medinipur Mayor Pranab Basu, Trinamool cell leader Kisan Dulal Mandal and others.
Ajit Maiti, West Midnapore Trinamool District President, said: “Some people think that what they have taken here has been accomplished, this time we will go there. This will not harm the team. Source: Anandabazar, Indian Express, today IN.
