The biggest and shocking news of this time is coming out from the corridors of politics of West Bengal. The internal strife and conflict going on within the ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) has now come out openly on the streets. Today the political temperature is at its peak in the capital Kolkata as three big rallies are being taken out by different factions of TMC in a single day. In view of this high-voltage drama and this contest of ‘TMC vs TMC’, Kolkata Police and Administration have been put on complete high alert. After all, what kind of controversy has arisen within the party that its own people have opened a front against their own people, let us understand this entire political turmoil in detail.
Why did TMC stalwarts come face to face and what is the root of the dispute?
Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has always been known for its unity in the politics of West Bengal, but for some time, dissatisfaction was simmering within the party organization regarding the local leadership and the battle for ticket distribution or supremacy. The main reason behind these three separate rallies taking place in Kolkata today is said to be mutual differences and factionalism. Some dissatisfied leaders and workers of the party have chosen this show of strength to show their strength and reach their voice to the high command. Political analysts believe that this infighting within the party can give a big blow to the equations of Bengal politics in the coming days.
Tight security arrangements and strict vigil by police administration in Kolkata
Maintaining law and order has become the biggest challenge for Kolkata Police in view of the organization of three big political rallies in different parts of the city in a single day. Heavy police force and Rapid Action Force have been deployed in sensitive areas to deal with any untoward incident, violent clash or traffic jam. Senior police officers themselves have taken to the streets and are keeping a close watch on the situation so that the peace and order of the city is not endangered. The administration has made it clear that if any group tries to break the law, strict legal action will be taken against it.
What will be its far-reaching impact on the politics of Bengal?
Before the assembly elections in West Bengal, this kind of open conflict within the party is giving a big issue to the opposition. This internal conflict of Trinamool Congress clearly shows that everything is not going well within the organization. If the party high command does not quell this discontent in time, it could weaken the party’s support base at the grassroots level. Now the eyes of the entire state are fixed on these rallies being held in Kolkata today and the steps taken by the party leadership thereafter.
