“Our villages are still dark, they have been like this for years, while the cities now have Triphala light,” said Nilanjan Das (53), a shop owner in Bartalya in Nandigram. The TMC’s ‘karmasuchi’ (development work) was good till 2017, he says, but the party has not been able to control corruption, which has upset its supporters.
“Even if you are entitled to build a house, or a toilet, you have to pay a significant amount to middlemen. That is very bad,” said Das.
“BJP aashbe, kintu time laagbe (the BJP will come, but it will take some time),” said Nitai Maity, another voter in Teakhali. “But five months is a good time. The sentiment is for change,” he added.
