ममता बनर्जी के लिए बंगाल गंवा देने से बुरी है भवानीपुर की हार – mamata banerjee bhabanipur west bengal election suvendu bjp ntcpmr
Mamta Banerjee has often said that she is a street fighter. The defeat in West Bengal elections or Bhawanipur has not affected his fighter image, perhaps it will not. But, this double defeat is definitely a big lesson for Mamata Banerjee.
Long before the West Bengal elections Mamata Banerjee had started its campaign. And, one by one, she kept raising every issue forcefully, which she thought would be effective against BJP. Mamata Banerjee ran the language movement for a long time. Later the focus shifted to SIR i.e. Special Intensive Review. From marching on the streets, she even reached the Supreme Court to advocate. Mamata Banerjee had even put BJP on the defensive on Maach-Bhaat.
The question is, despite all the preparation and continuous fighting, where did things go wrong? What is missing? Where did the mistakes happen? What was that thing that seemed trivial, but became the heaviest?
Bhawanipur Mamta will lose the election in India too
Mamta Banerjee’s west bengal Losing the election and losing your Bhawanipur assembly seat are two different things. But, both of them attacking Trinamool Congress together like a disaster has taken a heavy toll on Mamata Banerjee.
Mamata Banerjee has faced double defeat in BJP’s double engine government campaign. Now what could be worse than this that the BJP leader who defeated Mamata Banerjee by 1956 votes in Nandigram five years ago? Shubhendu Adhikari He has defeated Mamata Banerjee in Bhawanipur by 15,105 votes.
After the defeat of Nandigram in 2021, the people of Bhawanipur had sent Mamata Banerjee to the Assembly by ensuring her victory in the by-election by a margin of 58,835 votes, but this time the people of Bhawanipur had already decided to teach Mamata Banerjee a lesson.
That’s why after BJP got lead in 5 out of 8 wards of Bhawanipur during Lok Sabha elections, Shubhendu Adhikari decided to contest elections again against Mamata Banerjee. Mamata Banerjee was forced by BJP to contest in Nandigram, but for Bhawanipur, Shubhendu Adhikari was declared the candidate even before Mamata Banerjee.
BJP just had to give a message to the people of Bengal with the defeat of Mamata Banerjee. Even though Mamata Banerjee had lost her seat in 2021, she had ensured the victory of Trinamool Congress in West Bengal. This time Mamata Banerjee has lost both Bengal and Bhawanipur. And look at Shubhendu Adhikari. Not only defeated Mamata Banerjee in Bhawanipur, he also won from Nandigram.
After the win, after the loss
After the victory of Bhawanipur, Shubhendu Adhikari said that it was very important to defeat Mamata Banerjee. Said, his political retirement has just happened. She lost from Nandigram in 2021… Muslims voted openly for Mamata Banerjee. All the Muslims who came out to vote in ward number 77 voted for Mamta. Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists blessed me and made me win.
Shubhendu Adhikari also claimed that who voted for him, especially the Bengali Hindus voted openly for me… CPM supporters also voted for me. There were 13,000 CPM voters in Bhawanipur, out of which 10,000 voted for me… Bengali Hindus voted for me openly… Gujaratis, Jains, Marwaris and Purvanchalis also voted for me… The Sikh community openly voted for me.
Mamta Banerjee has made serious allegations of assault on her at the counting centre. Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kalyan Banerjee has shared the audio of his phone conversation with Mamata Banerjee on social media. In the conversation, Mamata Banerjee is telling that till the 16th round she was ahead of Shubhendu Adhikari, only a few rounds were left. Mamta Banerjee alleges that the election process is compromised because goons entered the counting centres, intimidated officers and agents.
A day after the election results came, Mamata Banerjee said in a press conference, we have not lost the elections, we have been defeated. Mamta Banerjee has called the Election Commission the biggest villain.
Where did Mamata Banerjee go wrong?
In the election rally of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee had read a poem during the election campaign, which she had also recited to the people during the Lok Sabha elections. The only difference was that during the Lok Sabha elections, at the place where the word ‘Zindagi’ was in the poem, in the Assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee had read ‘Trinamool’ there.
At the end of the Trinamool Congress rally, Mamata Banerjee took leave in a poetic style, talking about meeting again. Mamta Banerjee said, ‘We will meet again, if Gulshan is there then flowers will bloom, then Joda flowers will bloom, if Trinamool is there then we will meet again.’
Did Mamata Banerjee realize the election results only then? Nothing like this could have happened suddenly. You must be feeling all this already. Then how did you miss it? Was there no scope left for correcting mistakes?
1. Certainly there was an anti-incumbency wave against Mamata Banerjee’s 15-year-old government, but was there no way to counter it – or was the disease truly incurable?
Could Mamata Banerjee not understand the anti-incumbency wave? Mamata Banerjee kept running the language movement, cornering BJP on fish and rice – and BJP people flew away with victory while eating fish.
2. It is true that BJP made the issue of corruption and hooliganism of TMC leaders in West Bengal, but why did people understand BJP’s point? Didn’t listen to Mamata Banerjee at all. Meaning, the common people of Bengal wanted change.
3. Allegations of corruption were being leveled against Mamata Banerjee’s fellow leaders since 2016, but even in 2021, Trinamool Congress returned to power. Teachers recruitment scam, getting huge amount of money from Partha Chatterjee’s friend’s house, and his going to jail – it seems people could not forget.
4. BJP had even fielded the Sandeshkhali victim as its candidate in the Lok Sabha elections, but was defeated. But, the election victory of Ratna Debnath, the mother of RG Kar rape victim, is indicating a different thing. That is, people accepted that Mamata Banerjee did not try to get justice for the victim in the RG Kar gang-rape and murder case – and this, even when the accused has been convicted.
5. Mamata Banerjee always kept emphasizing on Muslim vote bank, and could not stop Hindu votes from going against her. Like the boycott of Ram temple inauguration in Ayodhya, Mamata Banerjee used the word ‘Mrityukmbh’ for Prayagraj Mahakumbh – and it all went against Mamata Banerjee.
