Bangal, it seems, is trapped in a grip of post poll voilence. Even pre poll as well, since the day Mamta Banerjee, just out of the blue, announced something unique. Unique in the sense that such things are not or cannot be associated wih politics. “Khela Hobe”.This Bangali slogan, TMC says, has been written by Debangshu Bhattachariya a young Bangali TMC member. But this two word slogan “Khela Hobe” does not look like so simple a statement. Especially when being related to politics. In the language of sports it speaks of game, win, loss and friendship. But TMC used it in politics with altogether a different meaning. With a venomous language that was used by Mamta Banerjee all through the electioneering campaign, the claim that this sporty slogan was game,win,loss and friendship, is hard to digest.
The hidden meaning of this very sporty slogan is beyond anybody’s imaginaion. Let us try to analyze it. Firstly when we talk of politics and elections both are not akin to a sport. Politics is altogether a different ball game, while as elections are not some “Gudda Guddi ka KHEL”.
A strong sense of alienation is gripping the Bangal politics and TMC and Mamta Banerjee are watching this dangerous state of affairs like silent spectators. Khela Hobe slogan, as they say is trending now in Bangal, is something which speaks volumes about what Bangal is going to witness in the coming days .
Mamta raised this slogan during her election campaign but no one could imagine the “Khela”. Killing more than 150 BJP workers before elections and now the post poll voilence, arson and political vandalism killing half a dozen BJP workers, is no less than an ugly political Khela of arrogance and vengeance.
If this was not the prepoll plot for a dirty political Khela than why this barbaric post poll voilence by the TMC goons?
Mamta Banerjee won the elections and returned to power with an absolute majority. How ? THAT REMAINS A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION. But that in no way should be a barrier for the Indian courts to take a serious cognizance of the sequence of events right from the day Mamta burst the cracker ” Khela Hobe” during her election campaign in her own state Bangal, about which she also said, Maa, Matti, Manush. And today in the post poll scenario all the three are drenched in blood. What sort of a Khela is this.?
No seasoned and politically tall leader can call election as Khela. Election is a national festival. It decides the fate of the people of a state. Election commission works day in and day out to make the process a grand success without any untoward incident taking place during the course of elections. And you call it a “Khela “. Perhaps Mamta Didi is not inferring from the happenings that Bangal is burning. Every TMC worker has become furious, unruly and venomous. They are indulging in loot, arson and killings. Is this what you call “Khela Hobe”, Mamta ji.? Today every BJP worker in Bangal is scared, frightened and is being harassed by TMC workers. In such a state of affairs in Bangal why can’t one draw the conclusion that Khela Hobe is reffered to a statement or more precisely to a commitment that if TMC comes to power in Bangal, all those who voted against, would be taught a horrifying lesson.
Elections in Bangal seem to be altogether a different story. In an interesting development that took place during the first three phases of the election when Prashant Kishore a very famous political analyst or if we say a political strategist on whose shoulders Mamta fought the Bangal elections, in an interview to a very renowned journalist on his channel confessed with full command and confidence that if Mamta Banerjee loses and if BJP gets more than one hundred seats in Bangal elections, he would “QUIT”. When he broke this news even the interviewer got stunned for some time and was speechless. But later he asked as to why would he quit. He happens to be a professional hence can’t efford to be emotional. But Prashant kishore was adamant to what he had said. Totally refusing to change his mind. So this was a big risk any professional would take in his or her career. Now, this confidence, conviction and credence definitely needs a very strong base and a level playing field to stand on. Well AVM hacking etc. will be too early to predict. It is a matter of great importance and concerned bodies may at an appropriate time probe into the whole election process and bring the facts to the fore. Even Mamta Banerjee also at various occasions uttered a lot of things about the Election Commission. Which could have been very sensibly avoided. But, anyways..
Therefore a post poll enquiry should not be ruled out. However, central Govt. needs to take a strong notice of the post poll violence in Bangal which is taking a very ugly turn in view of the unruly TMC goons unleashing terror and not even sparing the women.
A high level investigating team needs to be constituted under the aegis of Supreme court to have an insight of the political violence claiming human lives and loss of private and public property, before it is too late.
