Amid West Bengal election trends, discussion on social media intensifies by linking Messi to Kolkata tour

Sports Sports: The stir in the politics of the state has intensified amid reports of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leading in the initial trends of West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026. As the trends of counting of votes are emerging, a different kind of discussion is also emerging on social media, in which some users are linking this election trend with Lionel Messi’s Kolkata tour last year.

Lionel Messi visited the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata during his GOAT India Tour, where thousands of fans came to see him. There was huge enthusiasm about this event at that time, but later many questions were raised on the management of the event.

According to reports, there was a lot of chaos regarding the arrangements at the event, and there were allegations that the management of the event was affected due to the presence of some political figures and top officials. Citing security reasons, Messi’s team ended the program prematurely.

After this, resentment spread among the spectators present in the stadium and the situation became tense. During this time, incidents of vandalism were also reported at some places, after which organizer Satadru Dutta was detained.

Due to worsening of the situation, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also had to cancel her scheduled visit to the stadium.

Now when political changes in electoral trends are being discussed, some people on social media are giving different types of reactions by linking this old incident with the current political environment. However, this is a completely informal and social media based discussion, which has no relation to any official political analysis.

At present, the counting of election results is going on and the position of the political parties is gradually becoming clear. At the same time, the incidents of Messi’s Kolkata tour have once again come into discussion through online debates and memes.
