Even after WB BJP President, Dilip Ghosh's distancing from the proposal, north Bengal BJP MPs like John Barla & Raju Bista, says its critical to curve region out of West Bengal and make it a UT.

Said 7 BJP MPs from region will raise it in Delhi soon

thestatesman.com/bengal/despite… Darjeeling MP Raju Bista had raised the issue of separate state in Parliament in September 2020 & Dilip Ghosh had supported the demand by banging the table

Most Bengal BJP supporters are OK with this move of bi/trifurcating WB. This has been a pretty old promise of BJP. Not new

I usually avoid talking about any work that we do for fellow citizens. Firstly to avoid boastfulness & secondly we are not doing anything. Its only God (Iswara) who gives us opportunity to do something

But this time, I am writing & that's mainly to increase awareness. #sundarban Sundarban area in Ganga delta consists of 100+ islands formed by innumerable creeks and tributaries of Ganga-Bidyadhari-Matla-Noni-Ichamoti-Raigmangal rivers.

Out of 54 inhabited islands, we could reach out to only 2-HerambaGopalpur & Moipit

Mathurapur-2 block, South 24 pargana

Political bαttles are fought not only on-ground and in social & electronic media.

Court Rooms have also been a combαt zone, in political theater, particularly between TMC & BJP

Off late, this is also 1 more area, where BJP is in back foot.

WB Elections: Decoding seats won by thin margin

Only 23% seats (67 out of 292) were won by less than 10,000 votes

Out of those 67, TMC won 37 and BJP won 30.

For TMC, it was 17% of total seats (37 out of 213) & for BJP, it was 39% (30 of 77)

results.eci.gov.in/Result2021/sta…

#Thread BJP

9 seats were won by a margin between 5000-10,000 while 21 seats were won by margin of less than 5000

Least margin was in Dinhata constituency where BJP won by 57 votes

26 out of these 30 seats had Hindu population greater than 75% & yet margin of victory was wafer thin

@IamSourav_b @sarkar_swati This is NOT how Indian politics work. Elites dont touch each other across party lines (Chidu & Lalu are exceptions, for reasons).

Revenge has been historically targeted against grass root workers, always.

Only 1 recent addition. SM handles, in payroll, engage in amplification @IamSourav_b @sarkar_swati Thats why:

1. No one was convicted in 2G & Coal scams post 2014
2. National Herald case was slowed down
3. Kamal Nath did NOT pursue Vyapam scam in his 1 yr tenure as CM
4. Bhupesh Baghel never went after Chitfund scams in Chhattisgarh during 15 yrs of BJP rule

Many examples

A genuine fieldwork from English media I saw in last few months. Captured 80% of points correctly

Santhals (~40% of population) & Kurmis (~38% of popln) shifted back to TMC from BJP since 2019 LS.

25 Hindu majority constituency BJP lost without a clue

news18.com/news/politics/… -"Jai Guram" in all TMC rallies as opposed to "Jai Sri Ram"
- Tribal Sahityo Board, Tribal Academies
- Recognizing "Sarna" ritual practices

Everything helped TMC

But biggest factor was Chhatradhor Mahato & his umbrella org of 13 tribal communities, whose demands BJP MPs refused

Didnt want to comment about WB elections as there was too much noise in SM.

People not moving an inch from their homes were presenting expert views about winners & losers in WB constituencies

Heres my take after visiting 150+ constituencies in last 5 months in South Bengal TMC had to execute 2 things:

- Retain hold in South & North 24 Parganas, Kolkata. 75 seats. Was tough particularly after Amphan fiasco

- Recover from total wipeout in Bankura, Purulia, Jhargram, Nadia & North Bengal

BJP had to do consolidate its LS positions & gain. It failed

@ArunudoyB Entire thread @ArunudoyB da. You captured excellently the different aspects about constant swing of people pulse

I will add about the 4 different mood swings in last 1 year

-Post NRC Results (11 Lakh Bengali Hindu exclusion) - TMC Gained. Reflected in 3 Assembly By poll results @ArunudoyB -CAA passed & chαos across WB including train buπning - BJP gained hugely

- WB Govt hiding Covid deαths in first 3 weeks & finally admitting- BJP gained again

- Post Amphan - Centre giving only 1000 Crores while Central team admitted dαmage of 80K crores - TMC started gaining

@IamSourav_b @SujoyNMitra @DeyDebalina1 @madhuparna_N @sarkar_swati @GargaC @ReporterTintinB @Jamie_Venom @JoyBangla1984 @Ram_Guha @vasudha_ET @nistula @shashangko @soumo2014 @RaahulGhosh @SirCaustic_Soda Disagree -@IamSourav_b .

Hαte mongers do not rely on Economic / Census or any data whatsoever. LW Bengali Hαters hide behind 2 arguments:

1. Pseudo-Secularism

2. Take my tweet in X/Y/Z context

Even if you tag them in 10 data loaded threads, they will NOT take a look @IamSourav_b @SujoyNMitra @DeyDebalina1 @madhuparna_N @sarkar_swati @GargaC @ReporterTintinB @Jamie_Venom @JoyBangla1984 @Ram_Guha @vasudha_ET @nistula @shashangko @soumo2014 @RaahulGhosh @SirCaustic_Soda Lets look at connecting link of this hαte narratives and articles against Bengalis

@vasudha_ET, @nistula & the author of recent hαte article in Print @DeyDebalina1 are all Delhi Residents

@nistula finds supportive arguments for cultural imperialism in huffingtonpost.in/2016/08/26/dea…

@dikgaj May be @dikgaj da, the value system angle is a camouflage to eulogize Churchill. Issue is perhaps diff as @IamSourav_b pointed

Mao/Stalin will not be made hero as they are communist. Same 4 Jinnah as he is a Muslim / Pak related.

Praise reserved for Churchill & British rulers @dikgaj @IamSourav_b Yesterday's tweets were coordinated in time. Started with British Master David. Then Amplified by BJP Promoted Social Media Heroes within minutes

Old Thought process. While Muslims were invaders, British were not. In fact they were liberators from Muslim rule and to be praised

@PureIndia007 @GargaC Before writing & endorsing such outright rαcist comments @PureIndia007 , @bhartiyabaniya ,@gangulyrahul , did you even click and read the article that was shared?

Are you aware of realities of lakhs Hindu exclusion in Assam NRC & hundreds of Cαptive Hindus in Detention Centres ? @PureIndia007 @GargaC @bhartiyabaniya @gangulyrahul Breakup of 19 lakh excluded in Assam NRC,

13 lakh Hindu Bengalis
1 lakh Hindu Gorkhas

Less than 6 lakh are Muslims. NRC was supposed to exclude BD origin muslims

@SujoyNMitra @DeyDebalina1 I usually Refrain from Countering Biased, Non Factual articles that BJP folks write regularly against West Bengal

This lady has taken the same approach for cheap popularity.

This opinion piece is based on 15 references almost all of which are factually wrong. Starting a thread @SujoyNMitra @DeyDebalina1 -@DeyDebalina1's economic stagnation angle references a BLOG explaining a PhD thesis on Bengal from 1948-2000. Not relevant in 2020

Last year, WB had highest GDP growth rate in India. Acc to GoI's Ministry of statistics & program implementation (MOSPI)

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain My 2 cents. Lets not attack at personal level.

Things should be said what they are & NOT whitewashed. These terms "xenophobia", "chauvinism", "anti-outsider" all these are for whitewashing

What has taken place is repeated Hindu massacres starting from 60s. @lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Started from Goreswar in 60. Language Martyrs in 61, Khoirabari & Silpathar massacres in 83, Hojai in 93.

Enough info in Internet about each of these massacres. Hundreds of People k!illed, displaced, Babies thrown in fire, compensation denied. Not 1 done by ULFA or insurgents

@PhoenixIndranil @Defence_360 @Aban__Ind @dikgaj @maidros78 @sarkar_swati @LegalLro @santosh4bharat @CVinJo @jsaideepak @LegalKant @PradzWorLd I think 100 times it has been clarified on Twitter about the mis-information being spread about Rohingyas & illegal immigration in WB

First Point First.

Border is under the control of BSF under Union Home Ministry. Not under WB Govt. Please understand this basic point @PhoenixIndranil @Defence_360 @Aban__Ind @dikgaj @maidros78 @sarkar_swati @LegalLro @santosh4bharat @CVinJo @jsaideepak @LegalKant @PradzWorLd Yes Initial Batch of Rohingyas came to Jammu under the rule of Omar Abdullah - UPA Regime but they were getting Adhar cards last year in 2018 during BJP-PDP rule.

More than 50% M population in Kolkata is non-Bengali.

But lets assume only 50% of Kolkata M Population & 0 % of rest of WB M Population is non-Bengali.
