Mamata Banerjee’s election strategist @PrashantKishor was on a Clubhouse session few hrs ago. And he almost declared that Modi will win Bengal.

The vote is for Modi, polarisation is a reality, the SCs (27% of WB’s population), Matuas are all voting for the BJP.
Prasant Kishore openly admits that TMC , Left and Congress indulged in blatant minority appeasement which resulted in massive polarisation.

Now this polarisation is helping BJP as all hindu votes got consolidated behind Modi
Prasant Kishore openly admits that Modi is very popular in West Bengal.

There is anti-incumbency against TMC and polarisation is a reality.

So WB voters want to give one chance to BJP.
That awkward moment when @PrashantKishor realised that the Club House room was open and his admissions were being heard by the public at large and not just a handful of Lutyens journalist after @khanumarfa confirmed him.

He just Threw Mamata under the electoral bus

Govt Expenditure is rising so it can't forgo its excise income. It also need cushion for GST in which it has promised to pay 14% increment tax to states. So Govt is filling its Hole, controlling its Fiscal deficit to reasonable level making India a Magnet to foreign flows & FDI.

Since last 43 years, the Politics in West Bengal is Anti-Centre centric. One can only survive and thrive if that party takes position opposite to the ruling party in the Centre. Even Mamata sacrificed her plum Central portfolios in exchange of CM chair.
So if BJP impose President rule in run up to the assembly election it will end up giving a much needed oxygen to CM Mamata who will then play her Victim card to the hilt.
This is the reason why HM Amit Shah clarified that no such move is in offing.
There is an important statistical advantage to Mamata.
TMC has always increased her vote share in every subsequent elections. Even in 2019 LS she has increased her VS by 2%. BJP got all its incremental votes in LS from left & Congress parties which completely melted away.
