Triumph of BJP in West Bengal will be a "multi cause" for grand celebration ::: It's win against Islamic Demograhic intent, against Radicalisation... It's victory for Development, Hindutva and Nationalism

The mandate marks the end of a political journey as of now for a leader who had turned overnight cheerleader of chaos and anti-industry.

BJP leading in 159

Trinamool - 117. 

BJP leaders say --- It is the people of Bengal who wanted the change.  

The triumph of BJP in West Bengal is a 'multi cause of celebration' for its leaders and workers and millions of admirers - often called Modi Bhakts.

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 gheraoed their mindset.  

It may mark the end of 15 year rule of Mamata Banerjee. Prior to that the Leftists were in power for 34 years.

BJP was leading in 150 as counting was on and TMC leading in 105.

But it also a spectacular personal triumph for Suvendu Adhikari who had in 2021 made Mamata taste defeat in Nandigram but could not prevent her from coming to power. 

Today's win in Bhabhanipur would be a remarkable victory.

In 2006, the TMC won 10% of the seats in a local assembly election, while the left-wing coalition won nearly 80% of the seats. 

In national elections in 2004, the TMC won only one of the 42 seats of West Bengal state.

Once upon a time 

At one point of time Mamata  was considered something of a "political oddball". But she fought back and could oust the Left in 2011.

Pointers how Mamata has been different  

Unlike most politicians who quit the Congress party, Mamata Banerjee has not sheepishly returned to the party after the independent venture failed.  

But appreciation should also accompany the mention of some 'facts'. 

After 2006, she has been at the forefront of opposition to West Bengal's controversial policy of building Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in rural areas - a cause that won her much admiration in a state where large parts of the electorate still earn their living from the land. 

She got votes but essentially she opposed industry and harmed the youths. And 15 years as chief minister, she could not win the confidence of the industry and desi corporate honchos. 

Today, if the trends ultimately turn into results; is a day of celebration for Indian industry and manufacturing sector too.
