Violence in Sandeshkhali in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district continues to remain a political hot potato, with Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chairperson Mamata Banerjee accusing the BJP of attempting to incite a riot and the Opposition targeting thestate government for not allowing its leaders to visit the area.
Over the past six financial years since its introduction in 2018, electoral bonds have replaced all traditional forms of funding for at least three political parties — TMC, DMK, and BJD — now exclusively receiving all donations above Rs 20,000 through this method.
From RTI activist Saket Gokhale to journalist-author Sagarika Ghose – the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) has sought to pick prominent, articulate faces in touch with national politics to represent the party in the Rajya Sabha.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday announced the names of four candidates for the Rajya Sabha elections from West Bengal on February 27. While the party nominated party leaders Sushmita Dev, Md Nadimul Haque and Mamata Bala Thakur, it sprang a surprise by announcing well-known journalist Sagarika Ghose as its nominee.
A Trinamool Congress (TMC) strongman, Arabul Islam was the Mamata Banerjee-led party’s face in Bhangar in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district for well over a decade. But, in a move that has surprised some, the Kolkata Police arrested the former MLA on Thursday in the murder case of an Indian Secular Front (ISF) worker registered eight months ago. While the ruling party claims that the arrest illustrates the impartiality of the police, belying the Opposition’s claims, the CPI(M) and the BJP have alleged it is a show the TMC is putting up before the Lok Sabha elections.
Now that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has distanced itself fromRahul Gandhi’s Bharat Joro Nyay Yatra, the CPI(M) has jumped in to fill the breach, promising greater participation with heavyweight leaders in Malda and Murdhidabad during the second phase of the Yatra’s route through West Bengal.
On Wednesday, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee said seat-sharing with the Congress in the state’s Lok Sabha seats was off the table. The dispute arose over the number of seats the TMC was ready to give to the Congress as part of the INDIA alliance, with the Congress rejecting the offer of the 2 Lok Sabha seats that it had won in the previous polls.
With West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee turning up the heat on the Congress and declaring that her party would contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls alone, the Opposition INDIA alliance seems to be unravelling in the state, where the CPI(M)-led Left has already been up in arms against the TMC.
