Mamata Banerjee, who has spent all the election cycle blaming the BJP of taking part in ‘divisive politics’ merely for chanting ‘Jai Shree Ram’, has now displayed the head of secularism by giving a name to Muslims to vote as a united faction.
It would appear like Mamata Banerjee, who is perhaps dealing with the prospect of defeat, is now petrified of her Muslim vote financial institution getting divided. In the Bengal Assembly Elections, although the battle to rule the state is between TMC and BJP, there are two different factions which might be vying for Muslim votes within the state.
The first get together is that of Asaduddin Owaisi. AIMIM, whereas unable to garner sweeping help from the Muslim inhabitants in West Bengal, stands to make positive factors within the state at the price of TMC Muslim votes. The different faction that’s posing a menace to Muslim consolidation behind Mamata Banerjee is the CPIM, Congress and Abbas Siddiqui alliance. Abbas Siddiqui is claimed to have a major sway over no less than 30-35 seats in Bengal.
With these two factions at play, Mamata Banerjee might have a tough time consolidating her Muslim vote financial institution. With an increasing number of polls giving BJP the sting within the state, a jittery Mamata has now resorted to brazenly calling for Muslim vote consolidation, basically asking them to vote for TMC and never get swayed by Abbas Siddiqui or Asaduddin Owaisi.
Only just a few days in the past, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee appeared to have conceded that she will be able to’t defeat BJP on her personal, and due to this fact sought assist from all of the opposition events in combating BJP. Mamata Banerjee despatched a letter to all the main opposition events asking them to return collectively to defeat BJP. The letter had come simply after the primary section of polling within the state, indicating Mamata’s fear and insecurity in retaining energy in West Bengal.
The letter was despatched to fifteen non-BJP leaders together with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, DMK chief MK Stalin, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, Andhra CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav in addition to NC chief Farooq Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti. Mamata Banerjee within the letter states, “I am writing this letter to you, and to several leaders of non-BJP parties, to convey my serious concerns over a series of assaults by the BJP and its government at the Centre on democracy and Constitutional Federalism in India.”
