Simmering within the aftermath of communal clashes, Murshidabad right this moment affords a political alternative for each the BJP and the Congress. Whereas the BJP could make the purpose that chief minister Mamata Banerjee has failed to keep up regulation and order within the state and preserve Hindus secure, the Congress—which has been eased out of what was as soon as its bastion—probably has an opportunity for revival.
The revival may come particularly for Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who was the undisputed king of Berhampore, which falls in Murshidabad, from 1999 to 2024. His bastion, nevertheless, crumbled when Yusuf Pathan turned the TMC MP from the seat.
Chowdhury is as a lot of a fighter as Mamata Banerjee. At a time when the Congress dithered over its response to the chief minister, Chowdhury was open about the truth that Bengal can progress solely when the TMC chief is ousted. It was this willpower to eliminate Banerjee that made him persuade Rahul Gandhi that an alliance with the Left in Bengal can be prudent. Banerjee has all the time held this towards Chowdhury. And that’s why, this time in 2024, she was clear that she received’t enable any delicate battle in Berhampore and the TMC must win.
However what’s baffling is why the fighter within the Congress is just not preventing on the streets of Murshidabad. It is a golden likelihood for Chowdhury and the Congress. Technically, Berhampore was safer throughout the violence. But, it’s a difficulty which may have helped him make the purpose that Banerjee can’t be trusted to maintain Bengal secure.
The issue is that Chowdhury is handicapped by his celebration’s confused state. In the course of Lok Sabha polls, celebration chief Mallikarjun Kharge had snubbed Chowdhury at a press convention for his assaults on the TMC. It was a slight that sullied and forged a shadow over the fighter Adhir or ‘Robinhood’ as he’s typically referred to as.
On the Murshidabad challenge, whereas Congress held some protests, it has been muted and mellow. Although Chowdhury raised his voice and requested for President’s Rule, he wasn’t loud sufficient. The Congress, not desirous to alienate Banerjee and the INDIA bloc and provides a deal with to the BJP, appears to have made Chowdhury the sacrificial lamb.
