MAMATA & TMC & BENGAL
SARASIJ
MAJUMDER
As on today—the
above three are inseparable.
A> First—let us understand the strength
of Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal.
1.0 In Politics of street fighting,
and Andolan:-- She is the best. Late Mr. Jyoti Basu advised Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattachariya
never to allow MB this opportunity. This is where Buddha Babu lost in Nandigram
yielding place to TMC, and SINGUR
WAS FATAL.
2.0 No body understands better about
manipulation of the Election Conduction system, and how to exploit it for the
party. She can even get counting manipulated!
3.0 Politically—extremely CUNNING,
and SLY. Nobody is anywhere near her in India.
4.0 Doesn’t hesitate to initiate short
duration TERRORISM, THREAT.....etc.
5.0 Very competent in starting “DHARNA” and “DRAMA”—using right people at the
right time.
6.0 TMC was caught UNAWARE by BJP in
2019, but responded very effectively in 2021, and 2024.
B> I will explain below in order of merits, WHY MAMATA WINS, which you may, or may not agree.
1.0 The
Muslim Appeasement Politics:--
You see,
this is such a TRAP, that BJP LEADERS also
failed to avoid it, albeit—with no results. I will discuss on BJP’S MUSLIM APPEASEMENT later.
Perhaps
no other politician knows the tricks of Muslim Appeasement better than Mamata
Didi. The Muslim population percentage in West Bengal is more than double the
national average. Mamata Banerjee knew very well that in order to script a
victory against the opposition, she needs to keep her Muslim Votes intact.
Bengal’s Muslims were already made alarmed by the ghosts of CAA or NRC, and UCC. Mamata,
as a cunning politician added, and adding fuel to that fire. She made sure that this
growing discontentment against the centre ( i.e. BJP) can be converted into a near complete mass
polarization of Muslim votes in favour of the TMC. She doled out a number of
welfare schemes designed exclusively to woo the masses of the Muslim community resulting in a total consolidation
of Muslim votes in her favour making her a messiah of the community.
She
pays less—but gets back more in return!!
2.0 TMC 's Organizational strength:-
West
Bengal has a peculiar society, where political parties occupy a significant
public space which sometimes overwhelmingly dominate the so called social
organizations like caste or creed or religious affinities. It is not surprising
that the party with the better organizational strength has a significant
advantage.
This
peculiar feature of Bengali politics has been there ,since last two and a half
decade of the Left Front’s rule which was aptly carried forward by Mamata
Banerjee which not only ensured her victory but also added to her popularity.
This is in spite of the fact, that there
was serious discontent in the mind of the masses due to the swelling economic
crisis and resultant job losses which was a regular feature both in the reign
of CPIM as well as in the regime of Mamata Banerjee.
By
giving donation to CLUBS, allowing TOLABAZI, and SYNDYCATE—TMC has very good, if not
absolute control over otherwise
UN-EMPLOYED ( and UN- EMPLOYABLE)
Bengali youth. This covers Hindus.
In comparison-- BJP has almost negligible Organizational Strength in Bengal. Strong organization is needed to win Election, and Mamata will not allow BJP to develop it in Bengal.
Mamata’s Welfare Schemes:-
The
unwritten condition is—if you support TMC, then only you will get the benefit.
They are by far the single biggest factor behind her general
popularity. Since the time of coming to power in Bengal the TMC led by Banerjee
has turbocharged the welfare schemes. This includes regular cash transfers to
the accounts of girls till they get married along with unemployment sops for
young citizens and scholarship for Dalits and the minorities. She also doled
out pensions for old age and widows. In fact, a well renowned professor of
economics has attributed the growth rate in the states rural per capita
consumption mainly to her welfare
schemes.
THE MESSIAH OF WOMEN:
She astutely judged, that in order to remain in power, she
needs to woo the women voters of Bengal, who comprise almost half of its
population. A significant lead in the women vote share will definitely going to
bring her reach dividends. Therefore, she began designing women welfare schemes
which provided direct transfer of cash to female hands. As a result of which,
the 47% of women vote share of Bengal went exclusively in her favour making her
a champion of their cause.
To bolster this, she includes a high dose of Cinema & TV
actresses in her electoral roll. You can see those faces in Parliament, and in Assembly.
HER ELECTORAL and POLITICAL IMAGE
She is the tallest political leader at present in Bengal beyond any shadow of doubt.
She enjoys a massive 57% approval rate as chief minister. Her proactive nature
and a continuous and a cleverly designed belligerent attitude against the
incumbent Modi Government have bolstered her appeal as a mass leader and a
street fighter.
In TMC, she is the single POST, Bhaipo is half post-- others are LAMP POSTS!
BENGALI EXCEPTIONALISM
The TMC, in general, and Mamata Banerjee in particular does not
have any specific ideological entity till recently. To counter the Hindu
nationalism, which is identity of BJP,
Mamata cleverly devised the ploy of Bengali Nationalism and Exceptionalism. She
successfully painted the BJP as a party of outsiders( BAHIRAGATO ). It did provide her with an
opportunity to take on BJPs brand of Hindutva.
In fact, it was such a cleverly designed ploy that at one
point of time Mr Amit Shah had to
clarify that a Gujarati would not form the Government in Bengal but it would
consist of Bengalis .
MY CONCLUSSION:-- As long as ELECTION CONDUCTION uses Police of
West Bengal, and State Employees of West Bengal, and conduct Election under TMC as
State Government--- BJP can’t win. It is proved during 2021, and 2024.
