One big myth being propagated is that women vote differently than men in Bengal and entire women’s vote is swinging more towards TMC which is going to save them etc etc. Total bullshit. There’s no such thing as a separate women’s vote.
Infact among women, there are mixed responses, some traditional Con/TMC voters do idolise her, others feel deep seated hatred for her due to various reasons. There’s so symmetry in their thinking.
No*
For eg, the housewife whose husband is still stuck with 5th pay commission has no sympathy for her.

Some BJP supporters asking why I am now saying what I’m saying, well Sirs, I have been as much vocal as possible and refused to blindly follow these people. That subjected me to huge abuse from BJP’s own IT Cell getting anonymous accounts with 0 followers at times.
Example: this. Reply to a totally unrelated tweet but because I showed dissatisfaction with candidate selection few days back before this. Image
This after giving blood n sweat n muscle n money for this party. Why? Because I am close to Baisakhi Banerjee and Sovan Chatterjee. That was just an excuse. My being in BJP had nothing to do with them. I was in BJP when he was mayor of Kolkata.
