Bengal full of difficulties for Mamata Banerjee, Humayun Kabir and those 3 names which are raising the political temperature of TMC
News India Live, Digital Desk: If you look carefully at the politics of West Bengal, there is often little scope for peace there. But this time the ‘heat’ that is being felt is not coming from the opposition, but from within Mamata Banerjee’s own party Trinamool Congress (TMC). Recent developments suggest that all is not as it appears on the surface. Especially the attitude shown by the party’s senior leader Humayun Kabir has given sleepless nights to the Trinamool leadership. Who is Humayun Kabir and what is the matter? Humayun Kabir is not an ordinary name; He is known for his outspoken and sometimes controversial statements. This Bharatpur MLA has, in a way, opened an open front against his own party. He has directly raised questions on the big faces of Mamata’s cabinet. Along with him, the rhetoric of two other Muslim leaders has increased the political temperature of the state so much that the discussions have now gone beyond ‘internal strife’. Not only Humayun, there are others too. Apart from Humayun Kabir, names like Siddiqullah Chaudhary are also expressing their views openly. There is talk in political circles that these leaders are unhappy with the attitude of their own government regarding the administrative functioning of the state and especially the issues related to the Muslim community. When any leader with a big vote bank expresses his displeasure on a public platform, it directly impacts the elections. The difficulty for Mamata Didi is that these are the faces who have a huge support base on the ground. Increasing tension for Mamta Banerjee. Mamta Banerjee has kept her party bound with an iron fist for years, but now it seems that some layers are peeling away. The way Humayun Kabir has targeted big leaders like Firhad Hakim, it hurts the disciplined image of the party. The opposition also does not want to let this situation go out of hand and is constantly taunting that “TMC has now become a house about to collapse.” Inside talk or a well-thought-out strategy? Some political experts believe that this is not just a rebellion, but a means to increase its stature within the party and get its demands met. Humayun Kabir knows what his importance is in the coming days, and perhaps this is the reason why he has decided not to remain ‘silent’ anymore. What is the way forward? The biggest challenge before the Trinamool leadership now is to pacify these angry leaders. Will Mamata Banerjee take any strict action? Or will these big leaders be persuaded by finding a middle path? There are many questions, but one thing is clear that the ‘fire within’ in West Bengal does not seem to be quenching at the moment.
