The Bharatiya Janata Party has not even officially taken charge, yet the unrest has began. Incessant Vandalism across Bengal. Empty streets, gloomy atmosphere. Destroying party offices one after one, physically assaulting candidates and workers infront of central forces, Shutting shops, dismantling Maa canteens, men on bikes & their war cry, playing obscene songs on loudspeakers, threatening men & women across all sections of the society in the name of political victory. Don’t think this is the Shonar Bangla the people of Bengal voted for and hope the media has the guts to show these visuals but can already see them turning coats & bootlicking.

Political analysts should look into how SIR shaped discourse in the golis & mohallas.There has been a constant chatter about illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas living under the patronage of the TMC. This has been a major factor behind Hindu vote consolidation beyond caste lines.
Adil Hossain@adilhossain

If you take voters deletion as mere number and not part of an election discourse that shaped everyday life, local conversation, party strategy etc that shaped people’s beyond those numbers, your election analysis is incomplete and wrong.

No Indian opposition party has the moral spine, a clear counter ideology (Didi thought that with project Mahakal & Digha temple voters would chose the soft version of what BJP offers), and sheer determination to tackle this juggernaut.

27 Lakh Voters were deleted in West Bengal. These were not 'dead people' or 'bangladeshis'. These were real people who had already appealed to get their votes restored. The Supreme court could’ve delayed the West Bengal elections until the tribunals finished hearing the appeals of these voters. But they didn’t. Only around 1607 voters were restored in time by phase 2 of these elections. Almost every appeal that was heard turned out to be a wrongful deletion. In any functional democracy, this would not count as a free and fair election where a large section of voters have lost their voting rights. I'm not saying that TMC would've won for sure if they were added back, maybe BJP would still win, but the question is about the fairness of these elections. Free and fair elections are a spectrum. Ever since Delhi-Maharashtra-Bihar-Bengal, this needle has moved more and more towards being unfair. Each time somehow the opposition parties participate as usual in the electoral process thinking that they can still pull of a win despite the compromised EC, ED, CBI etc. and each time they have been proven wrong after 2024 Lok Sabha. The question is, at what point will they feel that the level of unfairness is so unfair that elections should be boycotted? I personally feel TMC should have refused to participate in these elections until all those 27 lakh appeals were finished being heard.

Eat all mangoes. Eat every mango you can. The small, juicy, fibrous, nameless ones you pluck off that old tree down the gully. The planted-a-Dussheri-seed-but-never-grafted Dussheri-ish mango from your masi’s garden in Bhopal. Blushing Sindhuras. Sweet Kesars. Yes eat as many of those beautiful Alphonsos from Devgad packed carefully in cardboard boxes as you can. But also eat Pairi, Neelam, Ratna. And Sindu - a cross between the Ratna & the Alphonso which is slowly gaining more ground because climate change has wreaked havoc on the finicky Alphonso - ask farmers, yields have been down for a few years now, talk to farmers. Eat with the season. Eat the early mangoes from the south - Mankurad, Badami, Banganapalli, Imam Pasad in late April-May. Eat your middle-India mangoes - Kesar, Bombay Green, and also Malgova and Mallika which are late season bloomers from the south, and your Himsagar, Gulabkhaas, beauties from Malda and Murshidabad - try to lay your hands on a Champa, Saranga, or Kohitoor in May-June! And go both hands in, into piles of Amrapali, Chausa, Malihabadi Dussheris, Langdas in July. This is just the tip of the mango iceberg, there are so many more loved & delicious varieties - India has near 1,500 varieties of mangoes. Why would you eat just one? Of course have your favourites but also look at our beautiful biodiversity - please cherish it! Eat widely. Eat greedily. Eat because these mangoes are so delicious. Eat in RESISTANCE TO LOSS, eat like these mangoes might disappear because some of them already are!
Kaushik Subramanian@TheHolyKau

Sheel pls don’t eat tier 2 mangoes There are only two mangoes worth eating in the world, in order: 1a) Alphonso from Devgad (if you can verify). The soil + sea breeze on the slopes gives it a distinct flavour, unmatched 1b) Alphonso from anywhere else in Konkan 2) Imam Pasand The rest are mere fruit. Come to London, I will supply!

Back in 1756, while Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah was on his way to attack Calcutta, he stopped to rest in this area. There was a waterbody here where his elephants were bathed and his army took a breather. That spot became known as Hatipukur, and the garden was named after the Nawab himself. Now, both the history and the local legends, vanished.

Why do commentators forget that the BJP has more than 6 times as much money power than the next party? You need money just to pay for the petrol bills and tea and snacks of your party workers. Then come front page ads, billboards, rallies, etc. The opposition cannot come anywhere close to the BJP even on these legitimate expenses, leave alone anything else. You can only become a Chanakya when you have a lot of Arth as shastra

It's not enough that you watch the destruction of democracy. You also have to listen to brain-dead, mediocre & vomit-inducing punditry that's almost entirely aimed at punching the losers. Political reporting in this country is the absolute worst.

MK Stalin- 1.02 lakh votes deleted in Kolathur constituency, he lost by 8,795. Mamata- 51,000 votes deleted in Bhabanipur seat, she lost by 15,000. Kejriwal - 38,000 votes deleted in New Delhi constituency & he lost by 4,000. (2025) Three prominent Chief Ministers of opposition were defeated by mass deletion of votes. If you still don’t see the pattern and believe they lost because of anti-incumbency then the joke is on you.

If a regime is rigging elections, election analysis is just timepass to keep up the facade of democracy With 27 lakhs voters awaiting adjudication after being disenfranchised, the election was stolen before a single vote was cast. And we’re supposed to clap for BJP’s genius! 🤡

From Bihar elections, we have been witnessing that opposition leaders raise voice on alleged electoral malpractice & then go back to their comfort. No sustained campaign ever. Then next election comes. Is she going to call for Bandh? Or just wish to pacify supporters.

#WATCH | West Bengal CM & TMC chairperson Mamata Banerjee says, "From 3 pm onwards, they have been beating us. I was hit. CCTV was switched off. None of our agents was allowed inside (the counting centre). The DO assured me our agents would be allowed, but after that, he was not available anywhere. I complained everywhere."

Interesting to see people indulge in usual election analyses for Assam and West Bengal as if anything about this election was usual. Muslim voters were actively disenfranchised by the state, and many went along with it because they didn’t mind the anti-Muslim hijack.

BJP draws confidence from the Election Commission, which draws confidence from the Supreme Court, which draws confidence from BJP. The Indian electoral democracy is forever frozen in this loop. All institutions collude to coercively seize power from a woman-led regional party

The evolution of India's democracy hit a major "control-alt-delete" moment with the way the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is now appointed. If you’re wondering how we got here, it’s a masterclass in legislative maneuvering. Historically, the Supreme Court stepped in to ensure the Election Commission remained independent, ruling that a neutral panel-including the Chief Justice of India (CJI)-should pick the CEC. But the government had other plans. In August 2023, a bill was introduced to officially swap the CJI for a Union Cabinet Minister nominated by the Prime Minister. The math here is simple but devastating for neutrality: The Committee: Prime Minister + PM-appointed Minister + Leader of Opposition. The Result:A permanent 2:1 majority for the ruling party. The timing of the final passage was equally surgical. In December 2023, during the Winter Session, a staggering 146 Opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament. With the benches cleared of most dissenting voices, the bill sailed through both houses and received Presidential assent by December 28. By replacing a judicial arbiter with a political appointee, the executive branch effectively secured the power to handpick the person running our elections. We’ve moved from a "check and balance" system to a "check the box" system. 🇮🇳 #IndianDemocracy #ElectionCommission

EC helped BJP to hijack West Bengal elections, but the SIR, which was the biggest tool of hijack was accepted by the public because it was seen by many as an effort to disenfranchise “foreign” Muslims, who they saw as illegitimate. The hijack was enabled by anti-Muslim hate.
