Bengal Election: Vote counting Tomorrow, if it is triangular, it is a big concern

 

The News Cover: There has never been a triangular situation in the last fifty years of elections in Bengal. On the contrary, whenever he has won, whether it is the Left Front or the Congress or the Trinamool Congress, he has crossed the 200 mark alone. The exception occurred only once. In 2001, the Left Front won 199 seats. But this time the triangular possibility is not just in the discussion, many have assumed that the possibility is strong. And if it really is, it could be a major concern for the current situation. What is the true potential of the trident? What is the explanation for that possibility? 

In a multi-angle battle, if one party or pre-vote alliance of more than one party does not get an absolute majority, it is called a triangular situation. In Bengal, such a possibility has never been discussed in the last few decades. But a section of political analysts and a number of left, Congress leaders are now looking at the possibility of that situation. According to some observers, the BJP was leading in 121 constituencies in the 19th Lok Sabha polls. The BJP won six more seats in the Assembly polls. 

And if the Left-Congress alliance can win at least 20 seats, a triangular situation could emerge. It is true that the number of BJP seats may be less than 121 or much less. But the way Gerua Shibir has jumped after winning 18 of the 19 seats is likely to increase their seats. There will be no trouble if either the BJP or the Trinamool or the United Front gets a majority. But if the total number of seats of BJP and United Front reaches 148, a triangular situation will be created. If the situation is triangular, why worry? 

Earlier in the brigade meeting, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury had announced that there was no question of supporting the Trinamool if there was a stalemate. Rather, Sitaram's position is that if the BJP is to be defeated, the grassroots must be defeated. And impatient Ranjan Chowdhury, Abdul Mannan is strongly opposed to supporting the grassroots in such a situation. Lately, the Congress High Command has not been forcing the state Congress leaders to go against their views. Many people think that in that case the situation may be like Karnataka or Madhya Pradesh in Bengal. 

Horses can also be traded. In fact, the problem is there. Bengali is currently going through an acute covid infection. The demand of the hour is to deal with the situation quickly and with strong administrative hands. For now, the whole thing depends on the bureaucracy. It's not that they're not doing well. But there are old examples of bureaucracy that does not work properly without strong political leadership. If one party gets an absolute majority, it can form a government quickly and start tackling Kovid. According to many observers, It's not just about dealing with infections. The second wave of Kovid could hit people's livelihoods and the economy as a whole. In this situation, it is important to have a corruption free and transparent public distribution system. The new government has to ensure all that in wartime activities. If there is a triangular situation or instability of the government, the whole system is bound to be weak. 

According to a Nabanna bureaucrat, if the Trinamool returns to power, their leadership may take the lead in dealing with cowardice domestically before taking the oath. If the BJP gets a majority, it will start after the oath. But if a party or alliance does not get a majority, temporary instability may arise. Which is a book of concern. When the Trinamool comes to power again, their leadership may take over the domestic cowardly deal or the rush of incidental management before taking the oath.

Mamata Banerjee vs PM Modi: What's The Writing On The Wall?

 

The News Cover: a political slogan, that seems to have caught the attention of not even not just pole managers. but even artists in Kolkata, we are in Kolkata we did manage to see big hoardings of Narendra Modi only two faces Narendra Modi, on one side month of energy on the other right huge posters huge post there's a poster war happening in Kolkata. 

I'm sure it's happening in the rest of West Bengal. as well but largely in Kolkata gone are ads, of real estate properties, gone are the ads of perfume sprays soaps now it's only two faces on the streets Mamta of energy so it's a two-person personality contest but how this messaging can be seen on the walls the writing on the wall for some at least not all can be seen right here.

so messaging at various levels, not just those big posters but right here if you recall this was the the very famous times. of india cartoon of mamta banerjee with a pair of slippers and also a plaster on the other leg with a football and her political slogan keller hobe so this has been painted on the walls so it's not just it is not just about  about those big posters but this subtle messaging also cost efficient messaging also which can be seen on the streets i'm sure there will be some places where the bjp would have also used the same messaging take a look at this one for instance.

at this one for instance you've got month of energy with a plaster cast on a wheelchair saying namaste so anyone who's crossing this extremely narrow street this is the heart of kolkata extremely busy intersection extremely busy road you can see that the people who stay here such narrow lanes huge population right and once they will come out of these narrow lanes and violence through these roads

they will not just see those big posters but also this subtle messaging should this be seen as the writing on the wall or is this an attempt to perhaps convince people as i said and i want to say this out loud we have been able to spot this message just by chance i'm pretty sure that this form of messaging would be done by the other political parties as well particularly the main rival this time around for month energy the bhartiya janata party

West Bengal Elections 26 Of 30 Seats In Bengal Phase 1 Polls Voted For Trinamool In 2016

 

The News Cover: over 73 lakh voters from five districts all over purulia and jargram and parts of bangkura west medinapur east midnapore will vote in around 10 200 booths in this first phase of the elections in bengal of the 30 seats in bengal the bjp is contesting 29. one has been given to the all jharkhand students union the trinimul is contesting 29 and will support an independent candidate, for the other seat the congress is contesting only five seats and its finally in this bengal election 

that's been a very shrill election in the lead-up and you have the bjp there you know challenging the trinimula congress what are the reports so far well the report so far is like as usual in Bengal huge turnouts already at polling stations you know waiting from early in the morning to try and get and get their vote early before it gets really hot remember 

the areas that are voting today 30 seats are in the jungle mahal area a lot of the seats also eastern west and these are really hot arid districts and there are concerns about the temperatures rising in the afternoon and so huge turnouts already but then that's always been the case in Bengal people make an early start of voting and you always had about 80 plus of turnout and that is already indicated today

now what is important about this particular phase and remember we are voting in eight phases and this is just the first phase the 30 seats that are going to oppose are very very contentious you know in 2016 the cinema over here these seats had just as many as 20 60. so you would have thought that this was the complete trinomial bastion but in 2019 the bjp managed to upset that and they led in the 2019 parliamentary elections 

the bjp led in 20 out of the 30 assembly segments and therefore we see hugely contentious there is also a fair amount of tension and that's simply because many of the polling stations are deep inside forests to remote villages and huge security bundles have been put in place to ensure no untoward incident parts of you know jungle mahal area war mowers dominated last night there was an incident of a vehicle of the election commission being set on fire at combined one now in Purulia.

we don't really know what happened but initial reports were that come you know marched people came and kept the vehicle on fire and so there are these tensions of probable violence and therefore what is significant is the huge deployment of security forces in this phase 730 companies for 30 seats I mean that is quite something else I really wanted to ask Rasmussen how many companies of craft they have in for 47 feet polling today in that state in Bengal 713 that's huge hopefully things will pass peacefully.
