#Opinion | Our Fight for Survival
The state politics of West Bengal is going through a vacuum. The present is lack of reliable and trustworthy political face, while the crisis was not there even 20 years ago. Jyoti Basu of the Left Front, Buddhadev Bhattacharya, Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress were the most reliable and trustworthy in the state politics of West Bengal.
After the political turn in West Bengal in 2011 there was a dearth of reliable and credible political faces. Mamata Banerjee's rise in state politics as a symbol of integrity, a push from the Saradha scandal has put that integrity into question for the common man since then politics and pro-corruption have been the buzzwords in state politics. The Trinamool Congress has broken its own record by crossing the line of de facto from sand, coal , cow-smuggling to teacher recruitment scams. One person has been in politics since the age of two. Such lies are called truth here.
The Trinamool Congress buried the democratic rights of the people alive in the last panchayat elections by standing on the streets and looting them in their hands. In the upcoming panchayat elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party is contesting politically to a greater extent than last time on the strength of its organizational strength in the face of rampant terrorism and the ongoing threat. If a fair election is held, then the democratic blessing of the face of the people will be in favor of the Bharatiya Janata Party, that is the main fact. But the Trinamool Congress has joined in the attempt to steal this reality. In any panchayat, their right political allies are the Leftists. At any rate the Bharatiya Janata Party is political. To counter the Jayayatra, the Left has joined hands with the Trinamool Congress to oppose the Bharatiya Janata Party and trample the political opinion of the common people of West Bengal. The common people of West Bengal are determined to build theft-free panchayats. That is why the only political objective of the people of West Bengal is to improve the marginalized people by handing over the rural government to the Bharatiya Janata Party, thus realising the dream of the great pandit dindayal upadhyay.
What I was talking about in the first place, West Bengal is currently going through a political vacuum due to the lack of a credible political face.
There is no denying that the Bharatiya Janata Party's West Bengal state wing has failed politically. Just as the Bharatiya Janata Party failed to produce peasant leadership in rural areas, the Bharatiya Janata Party failed politically to produce labor leaders in organized and unorganized industries. In addition to this failure, whether the Bharatiya Janata Party West Bengal state branch has ever analyzed why the student-youth and women leadership have not yet emerged in the state politics is the question of the common people of the state.
Incidentally, it must be mentioned that the workers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh have won the hearts of the people of West Bengal through their sacrifices. The contribution of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh workers in bringing the crisis of Hindus and Hindutva to the people cannot be ignored. This political rise of BJP is due to hard work, and sacrifice. To take this upsurge further, every BJP leader and worker must keep their heads straight and keep their eyes open to fight grass root terror and corruption. In any case, the local understanding with the Trinamool politically will put the Bharatiya Janata Party in the face of political questions. Bharatiya Janata Party should continue to fight politically against Trinamool keeping this extreme truth in front. A handful of Bharatiya Janata Party MPs and MLAs have already adopted relatives. The state and central leadership of Bharatiya Janata Party should take proper steps in this regard. It would be politically wise to quickly identify those MLAs and MPs who are smeared with nepotism and place them in the third bracket from the Bharatiya Janata Party's political activities. Because at the local level all these MPs and MLAs have brought their honesty and political credibility graph below freezing.
Only a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker can defy all temptations and stick to political integrity and credibility. With the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and 2026 Assembly elections ahead, the West Bengal state leadership and the central leadership of the BJP need to find a credible and reliable political face. If there is political laziness in this quest, if personal preference is given more importance, if Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's path is not followed, BJP will have to face the same results as the last assembly elections in 2026. It is necessary to remember that the common people of West Bengal to regain their democratic rights, unemployed youths demanding jobs, demanding an end to the current anarchy of state politics, demanding an honest, corruption-free and transparent administration to establish a double-engine government on the political map of West Bengal, is political to implement it. Bharatiya Janata Party must take the responsibility. Bharatiya Janata Party is the common people's political refuge to make Deendayal Upadhyay's dream of upliftment of the marginalized people, to build theft-free Swachh Panchayats. So let's start the preparation from now. This fight is a fight for survival. This fight must be won.
