People did not vote for the BJP to see TMC rebels align themselves with the party.
A large section of Bengalis in West Bengal is watching the development with a certain sense of anxiety.
It took 15 years for a community to unite and overthrow the regime of TMC.
TMC leaders have supported, abetted, endorsed and rationalised the killings, abductions, rapes and destruction of livelihoods of BJP workers.
300+ BJP karyakartas gave away their lives to make 4th May 2026 possible.
Understandably, the Central government needs to pass strong legislation and make political compromises, keeping in mind the larger picture of the nation’s interest.
As such, TMC’s rebel faction extending support to the NDA in matters of legislation, and the latter accepting the same, can be thought of as one such compromise.
But in no case should TMC MLAs and MPs be incorporated into the BJP. The criminal cases against them should not be dropped.
They cannot be granted political immunity. Because that would be a travesty of justice.
The overwhelming mandate in Bengal for the BJP was also a vote against the TMC.
If party leaders from Mamata’s camp find refuge in the BJP, then the same public which once adored the saffron party will become its biggest dissidents.
BJP thus needs to walk a tightrope, balance political narratives and tread carefully. One wrong step and it risks alienating the people of Bengal.
