Mukul Roy back in Trinamool

Roy leaves a BJP that hardly showed any interest in holding him back and returns to a party where his former post is now occupied by the chosen successor of the supremo.
Contrary to what is being said by many in political circles in Bengal, Mukul Roy’s departure came as no surprise to the BJP leadership and many in the central leadership knew it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Trinamool.

"I Won't Be Able To Live Without Mamata Didi," Pleads Former TMC MLA Sonali Guha, Urges CM To Take Her Back To TMC


Sonali Guha (The Indian Express)
Former TMC MLA Sonali Guha, who had joined the BJP in March this year, has apologized to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for leaving the party and even requested the supremo to accept her back to the Trinamool fold.
Guha has clarified that she took a ‘wrong’ and ‘emotional’ decision to get inducted in the saffron party and has reiterated that she cannot live without ‘Didi’.
“The way a fish cannot stay out of the water, I will not be able to live without you, 'Didi'. I seek your forgiveness and if you don't forgive me, I won't be able to live. Please allow me to come back, and spend the rest of my life in your affection,” the leader’s letter states, as reported by the

It was heartening for many of us to witness the massive mandate with which Mamata Banerjee beat the country’s biggest political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in the 2021 West Bengal assembly polls.

Fake News and Communal Incitement Add Fuel to Post-Poll Fire in West Bengal


Fake News and Communal Incitement Add Fuel to Post-Poll Fire in West Bengal
While all the opposition parties claim that their cadres have been attacked by TMC workers, the BJP has unleashed a social media storm of misleading posts, unverifiable pictures and inflammatory rumours.
Politics9 hours ago
In the past 48 hours, social media platforms have been packed with pictures and videos of the post-poll violence in West Bengal. More than 14 people have reportedly been killed and all the political parties in the state including the Trinamool Congress (TMC) have claimed that their cadres have been attacked.
Although the Left and Congress party members have also alleged retributive violence against their cadres by workers of the victorious TMC, the BJP is desperately trying to communalise this political violence by blaming it on Muslims and ‘infiltrators’. Many BJP supporters, leaders and pro-BJP journalists have been sharing misleading posts, unverifiable pictures and inflammatory rumours with a communal slant. There is a stark contrast between the reactions of the BJP leaders and the leaders of the other parties.

Kolkata: Defecting from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not been a good decision for most of the state’s turncoat MLAs, it seems from the election results. Of the 19 sitting MLAs from the TMC, the Left and the Congress who joined the BJP since 2019 and contested on a BJP ticket this time, only five have managed to win.

Election after election, women voters have continued to ally themselves with Mamata Banerjee’s party
Of the various factors that contributed to the Trinamool Congress’s victory in the Assembly election, the support of women voters for Mamata Banerjee is significant. And this is not new for this election — even in polls held during the last decade, women have always come out in support of Mamata Banerjee. Not only have women voters managed to bridge the turnout deficit vis-à-vis men, but their voting preferences have also been different. For the fourth straight election in the State (counting both Assembly and Lok Sabha elections), women voted for the Trinamool in higher proportions than men.
