Why calling Suvendu Adhikari Mir Jafar may be admission of defeat by TMC
Mir Jafar is remembered in Indian history for his betrayal of the Nawab of Bengal. His defection led to the defeat of the Nawab and brought the British East Indian to political power in Bengal in 1757. Now, the TMC leaders are calling Suvendu Adhikari a Mir Jafar.

Competitive politics between Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP is all too evident in West Bengal with Home Minister Amit Shah accusing the ruling party of regionalism. This has been preceded by an exit of leaders from the TMC to the saffron fold. While such developments may not be surprising in the run-up to the state elections, the delay on the part of the senior TMC leadership in addressing the concerns of the party rank and file on this count is even more surprising. In 2011, during the UPA’s rule, Mamata had played a smart card by picking a non-Bengali settled in Kolkata, Dinesh Trivedi, a former Congress and Janata Dal leader, as her replacement as the Union Railway Minister after she quit to become the Chief Minister. Her party needs to introspect and dispel all doubts about its inclusive character.
