Following latest political speculations Congress and CPIM leaders feel that Mamata Banerjee wishes to contest from Nandigram in East Midnapore as she will lose her assembly seat in Bhabanipur. The opposing leaders gave such a political explanation after Mamata’s announcement at a public meeting at Tekhali in Nandigram on Monday afternoon. Opposition leader Abdul Mannan claimed, “Mamata will lose in Bhabanipur. That is why he wants to be a candidate in Nandigram. They also said, “Mamata’s popularity is declining in Bhabanipur. So she is looking for an alternative seat knowing she will not be able to win there.”
Mannan explained, “There has been a lot of speculation since the Lok Sabha elections that the chief minister no longer thinks her center is safe. She is looking for a safe center for himself. So many were looking for alternative seats for him. The Chief Minister has understood that she has no chance of winning in Bhabanipur. Because everything has been washed away by the tide of development she has done. So I don’t have the courage to stand in Bhabanipur anymore. “Mannan further said,” After 14 years, she suddenly realized that she had to go to Nandigram! I have not thought of going to Nandigram for so long! Now she wants to go to Nandigram and arouse her emotions by speaking poetry. This time she understood that the people of West Bengal would reject her. But no matter how crowded the meeting is, this time the chief minister will not be able to avoid defeat. ”
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in reference to the same issue said, “She is keeping another option open as she fears a loss in Bhabanipur.” She realizes that her popularity is declining in Bhabanipur. Because, there are a large number of non-Bengali voters in that assembly constituency. As a result, she knows, she will not be able to save Bhabanipur this time. So zhe is talking about Nandigram as an alternative. ” Sujan’s statement is also the same. However, he also said, “Trinamool-BJP is the same. Bijmul at once. So there may be another political equation behind the Chief Minister’s stand in Nandigram. However, it is true that she has realized that he will not win this time in Bhabanipur. “One step further, Mannan said,” When the movement started in Nandigram, the Congress had a role to play. Even the mother of the martyr, Firoza Bibi, who is now a MLA, visited the house of the late Congress leader Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi. But then Mamata said that the Congress was using Nandigram as a tool to suppress the Singur movement. Referring to the role of Shuvendu Adhikari in the Nandigram movement, Mannan said, At that time there was a movement of farmers and land protection committees. We were also in that movement. But I was left behind because I didn’t have the manpower. “
