Samik Bhattacharya’s inclusive pitch: Did BJP’s Bengal Pivat disrupt Mamta’s playbook? , Bharat News

New Delhi: There is a new player in Bengal politics, and he is trying to re -write the rules of the game. How many times do you see a politician praising the opposition leaders of the Bigon era, reduces their lack of recognition in history books, and in this process, try to join party cadres? This is the early day, but the newly appointed Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya is doing this.Challenging TMC Juggernaut In today’s political scenario, where citizenship is rare and coarse discourse is ideal, the polish approach of the comfort stands as a welcome change and a new challenge for the ruling TMC. Over the last five years, TMC has completed a political playbook: branding BJP as a party Bohiragato (Outsiders), referring to Modi and Shah Zamindars , Bungalow Nijar Meykei Tea (Bengal wants its daughter).TMC has formed a flexible social basis, supported by unwavering support from women voters who benefited from welfare schemes like Laxir Bhandar and heavy support from the minority community, which defiles anti -disdain and serious graft allegations.Change BJP’s storyBut 62-year-old Samik Bhattacharya, a grassroots leader who rises from the block-level rank, is now experimenting with a different strategy to disrupt that winning formula.He is trying to bring back ‘Bengal’ to the state’s political story of the state, which is focusing more rapidly on the emotional and historical context of partition and the creation of West Bengal, things that many bother many people.In the speech after the speech, Samik instigated Sima Prasad Mukarji, which highlights his important role in getting West Bengal and bilateral support. He is insisting for people Mahajot (Grand Alliance) Using history as a strategic bridge against TMC and to reach voters in spectrum. Goddess Kali did not have a major performance during her official acquisition last week; It was part of a deliberate repetition of optics. Amit Malviya said that ‘BJP is the only supporter of Bengali party born in Bengal,’ it is clear that Saffron Party is sewing its message to reflect Bengali sub-nationalism. Community is now making a legend contained in Bengali artistic Asmita (Proud), arguing that the soul of Bengal is attacking and should be defended.An inclusive message with strategic signal“What does politics mean if there is no West Bengal?” He recently asked, urged the CPM and Congress cadres in a Bayana pitch, urged him to support the BJP in the big interest of the state. Samik highlighted atrocities against minorities in neighboring Bangladesh, inviting memories from the border district of Murasidabad and warned its chief voters. Nevertheless, unlike the opposition leader of Bengal, Suvendu Adikari, who directly calls for Hindu consolidation, frameed his message in inclusive words, imagining a Bengal where the Durga Puja immersion and Muharram procession can be on the side -mind.In his first speech, he also approached Muslims. Accepting the mistrust of the BJP’s minority community, he said that the party wants books, stones, stones in the hands of Muslim youth. Referring to the icon like Qazi Nasarul Islam and Syed Mujtaba Ali, the communal urged the community to self-intraospect and thought who they wanted to follow. Like using phrases Marche Musalman, Moucha Musan (Muslims are killing Muslims), Many people believe that the comfort is also trying to loosen TMC’s grip on minority vote bank. Assuring Muslims, Samik said that India is a country Joto Mot, Toto Poth (Many opinions, so many ways), referring to the immortal words of Ramakrishna Paramahansa. According to him, India’s strength lies in pluralism and not in Hindutva. He craves for a time when Hindus and Muslims celebrated Saraswati Puja together in schools.

What is a unseeded plan?

Talking to TOI, political expert Professor Saji Pratim Basu said that it was dialing anti -Combat Muslim rhetoric as it was proved upside down, which led to the consolidated minority support for TMC. Professor Basu also believes that this outreach is not necessary to get a Muslim vote, but about obtaining legitimacy among Bengali intellectuals, which still sees the BJP with deep doubts. Even if some of the urban left-wing-elevenals ralled the ‘No Vote to BJP’ campaign switch parties in 2021, it could prove to be important in Kolkata and neighboring constituencies. Many of them have criticized the handling of TMC’s RG car rape and murder case. His dissatisfaction, Basu argues, if the BJP earns its trust, TMC can translate into anti-TMC votes. However, while the narrative can be slightly shifted with the appointment of the comfort, the decisive factor would be that the party’s electoral machinery proves to be more efficient on the day of voting. TMC still has a significant lead in that regard, Basu believes.Ringing endorsment from seniors Former MP and party thinker Swapan Dasgupta mentioned on X (East Twitter) that the vocal tone may be echoed with voters, the BJP has fought to arrive, which he has dubbed as ‘Orphan Bengali Bhadlok’.It was echoed by the former president of the former party’s party, Kathagata Roy. Known for his vocal nature, Roy told TOI that during the 2021 assembly elections, BJP’s Hindi -speaking leaders separated the Bengali middle class. They believe that the party supported the wrong campaigners, causing defeat. Roy saw the appointment of Samik as a welcome sign for the intellectual class of Bengal.Retailing forgotten historyAlong with leaders such as Dilip Ghosh and Suvendu Officers, the BJP created a strong cadre base, but struggled to achieve traction in South Bengal including Kolkata. In Samik Bhattacharya, a long resident of Salt Lake, an elite satellite in Kolkata, the party sees an inauguration to dissolve the urban stronghold.For Left-Congress voters, the message of comfort is immersed in the history of division. He remembers how Jyoti Basu once postponed the party line to support the proposal of Cyima Prasad Mukarji in the Bengal Assembly, or TMC MP Sukhndu Sekhar Roy’s father appealed to the Hindu Mahasaba leader to ensure that Malda lives in India. These long -filled anecdotes are being revived by a skilled operation by the concept to build bridges in ideological division. He even gave a left icon to Jyoti Basu as one of the architects of modern Bengal.Left push backHowever, the leftist is unaffected. Eminent CPI (M) leader Dr. Fuad Haleem dismissed the communal Bhattacharya as a communal, anti-nation person when contacted by TOI. He questioned how BJP leaders can label an entire community as stone throw. Referring to the previous alliance of the BJP with TMC, Haleem claimed that Samik was actually a well -wisher of Mamta’s party and dared to publicly announce her when TMC became the enemy of the BJP. He also dismissed any possibility of switching left voters to the BJP.While the leftist and the Congress may have publicly rejected the communal overcher, their joint vote share, still about 10 percent, more than 7 percent of the TMC-BJP gap in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Winning on a part of this block can prove to be decisive. Tathagata Roy argues that Bengal politics has always been bipolar, and if voters see the BJP as the only viable option of TMC, they will naturally shift. Recalling his tenure as the BJP state president, Roy said that the party can never cross 5 percent of the vote mark as only Mamta was seen only as capable of abolishing the Left rule.TMC response and forward roadThe ruling TMC has so far rejected the Samik Bhattacharya’s strategy. Spokesperson Kunal Ghosh claimed that the communal view of the BJP, Suvandu Officer has failed, now testing a new story. Mamta Banerjee is expected to retaliate during the party’s annual martyrs rally on 21 July.Back in 2014, Samik became the second BJP MLA selected only for the Bengal Legislative Assembly. Recalling the moment, Samik said that he was standing in silent silence for 15 minutes, absorbing the importance of the occasion. He is not a stranger for history-building, but the challenge before him is now more complicated.Mixed message, a problem?Some people argue that a dispute over BJP’s messaging is visible under the comfort. On one hand, the Suvendu officer asked for clear Hindu unity. On the other hand, Samik Bhattacharya Champion restraint and inclusion. At first glance, both are on obstacles. But the communal insisted that the party line is consistent. Suvandu speaks the public’s mind, while it expresses the official stance of the BJP.Professor Basu believes that the core BJP voters are unlikely to be washed away, as they do not see any viable options. He also looks at Samik’s attempt to unite party groups, including overtreters as an important step towards Dilip Ghosh. If the old RSS mechanism is active, they can be useful in elections, experts believe. Former Governor Tathagata Roy believes that the liberal personality of the comfort, the roots of the deep RSS and the party’s decades loyalty are the major property that can take the BJP to new heights.

Churning in place

Samik Bhattacharya’s approach is calibrated and high-stick. His emphasis on identity, history and inclusion is a marked change in tone for Bengal BJP. Can this soft story be co -existence with the aggressive rational strategy of the Suvendu officer and can be successful in broadening the party’s appeal. But in a state known for its ideological churning and unstable swings, Samik’s strategy has changed the tone of Bengal’s political interaction.
