Mamata lost in Bhabanipur ..... West Bengal gets "mukti" from Jehadi aunt .... What a lesson ... !! BEAUTY of DEMOCRACY :::: It is not communalism that has spread. It is the Hindu resurgence

Mamata punished for glorifying a slogan borrowed from Bangladesh :::  

Like it or not, West Bengal mandate was about genuine Nationalism  

Mamata in 2011 had described her landslide victory as a magic. 

"It's magic. It's a festival of democracy," she had said after decimating the CPI-M; and how things have come to this stage ... haunting her this year. 

Suvendu Adhikari has won the Bhabanipur seat against Mamata Banerjee. Adhikari has won by a margin of 15,000 votes. Initially, Banerjee was leading, but in the last few rounds Adhikari began leading.

"Now we can really say ... Sonar Bangla", remarked a Mumbai-based college goer on social media. 

Mamata Banerjee lost in Bhabanipur ..... 

West Bengal gets "mukti" from 'Jehadi aunt' .... 

What a lesson ... !! BEAUTY of DEMOCRACY 

In 2011, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya had lost his assembly seat too. Time is a big circle and it has come back to haunt the 'aunt' who started glorifying Awami League's slogan 'Jai Bangla'.  Essentially she thoight - voters could be taken for granted especially if they were Hindus. She had lost 2021 assembly poll in Nandigram but came back as the chief minister because the law allowed so. 

However, no corrective measures were taken even between 2021 and 2026. Governance was never her focus and Muslim appeasement was her top most priority. She kept on hurling insults to Hindus and even Hindu God. Her party leaders did the same thing. They all banked on the magical 30 per cent. 

But on the D-Day; it was discovered that the Muslim votes have split. A sustantial number might have deserted her. The issue of corruption could never be compensated by Rs 1500 freebies. How much humiliating it was !!

BJP's and Team Modi's victory in West Bengal and that way also the hat-trick in neighbouring Assam has traumatised parties such as the Trinamool Congress and also the Congress andthe AIUDF in Assam especially; it has also unnerved a large section of those who are at best pretenders of intellectuals, analysts and journalists.  

The mandate actually is a lesson. 

The reactions to the mandate might have surprised some. These self-seeking intellectuals today stand exposed. They are short of accusing the majority of the electorate of having turned fascists. This is unwarranted and unjustified. Twent years back, the same crowd said the same thing about Gujaratis. 

It is not communalism that has spread. Such a diagnosis will be erroneous. 

It is the Hindu resurgence and there are reasons for it. 

Videos and images showing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee participating in Islamic prayers or offering Namaz have circulated periodically, often fueling debate regarding religious appeasement. 

However, Sickular media and Fish-fry Journalism gave twister interpretation. This Hindu resurgence is a repeat of people's anguish from Gujarat days. 

One example was demonstrated on the day of polling in Kolkata when an innocuous frail looking housewife standing in queue to cast vote said - "I am here to vote for the BJP because the state under Mamata -a woman chief minister - gave people the right to say Allah o Akbar; but me and my children could not say Jai Shri Ram".  

The election came and gone. She underestimated the power and legitimacy of SIR. 

She overestimated her legal team and the legal luminaries of Delhi including the likes of Kapil Sibal. But in the last six months, she must have lost more than a dozen litgation in the court.  

Mamata had boasted she will not allow SIR. It was a totally misplaced stance. Her opposition made cadres misdirected, perhaps the party organisation suffered. The wrong priorities overwhelmed her party's eco system and practically gheroed their mindset.  

The BJP leaders say  the Bengal results reflected a decade-long "freedom struggle" and a "victory for the people".  

"West Bengal was once the pride of India. The communists ruined it ... Mamata Banerjee almost made it an extended counter for neighbouring Bangladesh," said one Durgapur resident Jhantu Purkayastha.
