Ratna Chatterjee won on TMC ticket from Kolkata. Happy about that. I am not too fond of a man (or a woman for that matter) who leaves his wife (or husband) for another. The Shovan-Baisakhi drama was tiring. A public space without the duo is healthier & calmer.
Regardless of the result, BJP’s denial of ticket to Shovan from the seat that Ratna had contested on was the right thing to do. The political campaign would have become a circus. Not exactly sure what was Baisakhi’s claim to ticket in an adjoining seat. Teen-ager behavior.
In the court of public opinion, a woman (or man) deserted by her husband (or his wife) for another, always wins. This is the simple reality that both TMC & BJP understood. If you want to hold an elected public office, start with by respecting your marriage.
The triangle of three middle aged individuals- Shovan, Baisakhi, Ratna, have taken too much public attention. With Ratna’s electoral win and BJP’s denial of ticket to Shovan and Baisakhi, its time to move on, and without the latter duo.
