After BJP’s landslide victory, Congress’s party office in Karimpur is free, TMC’s years-long hold broken

digital desk- The assembly election results of West Bengal have completely changed the political picture of the state. After the historic and massive victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party, where unprecedented enthusiasm is being seen among the workers of the saffron camp, the impenetrable fortress of the Trinamool Congress seems to be collapsing. This grand victory has not only ruined TMC’s plans, but has also given a new direction to the years-long struggle for supremacy between the opposition parties.

Congress action in Karimpur: Office ‘liberated’ after years

With the sound of change of power in the state, a picture has emerged from Karimpur in Nadia district, which has created a sensation on social media. In a video going viral, it can be seen that Congress workers have again taken control of their party office, which TMC had allegedly forcibly and illegally occupied for years. As soon as the state election trends revealed TMC’s crushing defeat and BJP’s lead, Congress workers became active and freed their offices from TMC’s control. As soon as this video went viral on social media, people started taunting TMC. One user wrote, “As soon as power went, Hanak also went away,” while another quipped and asked, “Will Congress thank BJP’s victory for this ‘freedom’?”

Rahul Gandhi’s ‘soft’ stance towards TMC and attack on BJP

On one hand, Congress workers on the ground are opening a front against TMC, on the other hand, the attitude of the top leadership of Congress is telling a different story. Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on BJP on this historic defeat of TMC. Rahul termed BJP’s victory as ‘theft of mandate’ and called it a part of the mission to destroy Indian democracy. Rahul Gandhi gave advice to those workers and leaders of his own party who are celebrating the defeat of TMC. He said that those in Congress who are rejoicing over TMC’s defeat need to understand that it is not the victory or defeat of any one party. Theft of mandate of Assam and Bengal is a major threat to democracy. We should keep petty politics aside.

Debate on ‘old memories’ started on social media

After this statement of Rahul Gandhi, a debate has erupted on social media regarding his old statements. Users reminded Rahul Gandhi’s statement in which he had said that if Mamata Banerjee had not polarized Bengal and run a clean government, the door would never have opened for the BJP in the state. These results of Bengal have also brought to the surface the internal discord of the opposition alliance. On one hand, BJP’s victory has broken TMC’s illusion of being ‘invincible’, while on the other hand, the contradiction between the central leadership of Congress and the grassroots workers has raised questions on the future of the alliance. This massive victory of BJP is being considered as the beginning of a new era in the politics of Bengal, where now TMC’s dominance seems to be becoming history.
