With the Lok Sabha elections fast approaching, a series of incidents in West Bengal’s Sandeshkhali have given the Opposition parties an opportunity to target the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).
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.
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.
In a sign of rifts within the Opposition INDIA alliance, the West Bengal CPI(M) has made it clear to the Congress that while supportingRahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra the party would give the Yatra a miss in the state if the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) participates in it.
On the day of the inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee led an all-faith “Sanhati (harmony) rally” in Kolkata, from where she not only launched an attack on the BJP but also went after her INDIA alliance partners.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday targeted the BJP for attempting to politicise religion ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and asked if the party was “anti-women” for “omitting” Goddess Sita from the discourse on Lord Ram, whose temple was inaugurated in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, earlier in the day. Mamata made the comments at a public rally after leadingan all-faith “Sanhati Yatra” in Kolkata.
The latest Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader under the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) radar is West Bengal Fire and Emergency Services Minister Sujit Bose. A team of ED officials on Friday searched two locations linked to Bose, a TMC heavyweight, along with premises linked to Tapas Roy, the minister for statistics and planning, and former North Dum Dum municipality chairperson Subodh Chakraborty. They are probing a municipal jobs scam case that allegedly took place across multiple civic bodies in the state between 2014 and 2018. It is alleged that “hundreds of jobs in the municipalities were given in exchange for money”.
