Even after Sandeshkali, the message of Bengal remains the same… Maa, Madhi, Manush

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee came to power in 2011 with the slogan 'Amma, Man, Manush', defeating the Left parties that had ruled for 34 years. Even after 13 years, the impact of Mamata Banerjee's 'Ma, Madi, Manush' is still intact in West Bengal. Despite a stiff challenge from the BJP in the 2021 assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee returned to power for a third term, and now again in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is winning more than 400 seats in Bengal and more than 35 seats. Trinamool Congress won by a landslide. The BJP could not even touch the 2019 tally and its number of seats dropped drastically. At the same time, the Left has not been able to open its account again in Bengal, and the Congress has also reached the brink. Before the Lok Sabha elections, the Sandeshkali issue arose. BJP made an issue of violence against women in Sandeshkali, but the Sandeshkali issue had no impact in this election. In the Basirhat Lok Sabha constituency where Sandeshkali falls, Rekha Patra, the BJP candidate for the constituency and an agent of the Sandeshkali movement, could not make any impact, and Sandeshkali did not make any impact in any other Lok Sabha constituency. State except Basirhat. Mamata, who fielded candidates in all 42 constituencies, was instrumental in forming the All India Alliance against the BJP before the Lok Sabha elections, but the Trinamool Congress clashed with the Congress over seat allocation. Mamata Banerjee refused to give seats as per the Congress's demand and fielded candidates in all 42 constituencies. In this manner, the Trinamool Congress and other parties of the All India Alliance, the Congress and the Left contested the elections separately in the state. The Congress and the Left have also reached an agreement on around 12 seats. The Muslim vote was not divided with Mamata and there was a perception that the Muslim vote in the state would be divided as the Left and the Congress fought together to take over the Trinamool Congress. The election results indicate that the Muslim vote is not divided even though the Left, Congress and Trinamool Congress are contesting separately. Muslims constitute about 27 to 30 percent of the state's population and Muslim votes are considered crucial to victory in many Lok Sabha constituencies. But it is clear from the election results that the Muslim vote is entirely in favor of the Trinamool Congress. Muslims have openly supported the Trinamool Congress. The corruption issue has not gone against the Trinamool Congress. From the teacher appointment scam to the ration scam, BJP, CPI(M) and Congress leaders have attacked the Trinamool Congress. Many prominent leaders of the Trinamool Congress are currently in jail on corruption charges. Former Education Minister Partha Chatterjee is in jail in the teacher appointment scam case and former Food Minister Jyotibriya Mallik is in jail in the ration scam case. Birbhum, Trinamool Congress district president Anuprata Mandal is in jail in a cow smuggling case. Abhishek Banerjee and his wife were accused of conniving with the ringleaders involved in the scam. The ED interrogated him and his wife Rujira Banerjee. BJP leaders attacked Trinamool Congress on the issue of corruption during the election campaign, but it is clear from this election that the attack and the issue of corruption had no impact on the results. The implementation of CAA was also unsuccessful and before the elections, the central government issued a notification regarding CAA. Its aim is to attract refugees from Bangladesh. In this, it has been promised to give citizenship to the refugees coming from Bangladesh. However, it is clear from the election results that citizenship for the refugees, citizenship for Matua, infiltration etc. have not affected to a large extent. In the last Lok Sabha elections, the BJP proved its hold in North Bengal, but in this election, the BJP has suffered setbacks in North Bengal as well. BJP made Rajvanshi community leader Anand Maharaj MP in Rajya Sabha, but its impact on Cooch Behar Lok Sabha polls is unknown. The Mamata-Abhishek duo again worked wonders in the state, with Mamata Banerjee and her son-in-law Abhishek Banerjee retaining their victory after the assembly elections. Trinamool Congress had earlier won the municipal and panchayat elections. Mamata-Abhishek continue their winning streak. It is clear from the election results that almost half of the population (women) and the youth have given their clear support to the TMC. Under the Lakshmi Bandar Yojana scheme, the Mamata government provided Rs.1000 per month to women, under Kanyashree the schemes like education scholarship, old age pension and widow pension were favorable to Mamata and its clear effect was seen in the election results. .
