The BJP has succeeded about one thing. It's like the first taste of blood. The announcement made by the Lotus party that her die-hard detractor and 2021 giant killer Suvendu Adhikari will contest from Bhawanipore and Nandigram has already had its impact.
The talk of the town ... is 'Banglar's one-time Agni Kanya' may now shift to Ballygunge - which has over 30 per cent Muslim voters as against only about 20-22 minority community electorate in Bhawanipore.
Mamata Banerjee has come a long way in life and political graph. In a country where politics has always been male-dominated and dynastic, she was a genuine outsider — a law and history graduate from a lower-middle-class family.
She took on the once dominant communists as she carried a Santiniketan bag to political rallies and walked on bathroom slippers.
That image worked. In a state devastated and exhausted by Left goondaism, it was exactly what people wanted to see.
However, the 2026 polls in two-phases have a Pandora's Box for her . A box full of challenges.
One of them is Bhawanipore assembly segment in Kolkata city appears no longer a safe constituency for her.
