He understands what struggle is. He fought when there was no hope. This is the kind of guy who SoBo SoDe liberals will look down upon - despite public protestations of “socialism”. This guy has more strength of character than the whole of Khan Market put together.
After winning the Barabani seat in BJP worker Sujoy Gorai broke down.
He said, “After every election, TMC workers used to beat us. We had to stay away from home for 15 days.”
A powerful reflection of ground-level political battles in Bengal.

May be the immaturity of voting public made bhajapa make Annamalai withdraw from running in last couple of elections. Might be they are looking for critical mass to appear to given it a serious charge.
ritesh ji,
not withstanding their political persuasion and personal rivalries, both the dravida parties had ganged up to make sure that he was defeated. The jealousy, and the intense internal opposition to Annamalai in the TN BJP, was covert because all feared the wrath Modi ji and Mota bhai
last time, the voters in his constituency were paid 3 - 4 the normal rates in cash, along with a bumper hamper of household articles to make sure that he did not make it. It worked.
Annamalai lost his deposit in 2021
This time around, that very same thing would have happened and the two dravida parties would have ganged up once more because almost all TN politicos greatly fear him
A second consecutive loss would most probably have rendered Annamalai politically untouchable and the BJP has big plans for him
He speaks several languages and is an incorruptible ex IPS officer, highly educated and intelligent and has an impeccable reputation. He has an "intelligence" network that even today, would be the envy of a great majority of serving IPS officers
No one's secrets are hidden from him, and like any efficient policeman, he has informants in every nook and corner
The biggest issue is that Annamalai is from the same caste setup as several prominent and top AIADMK leaders with whom the BJP has aligned with for the elections
Chetakji
Annamalai didn't lose his deposit. He was the candidate who polled the second highest number behind the winner from DMK. Of course the vote difference was massive roughly 25000 votes.

Compare the entitled, elite three witches of @AITCofficial, @MahuaMoitra, @sagarikaghose and @sayani06, who are considered ‘intelligent and accomplished’ only because they know how to put on make-up and speak good English, to the three winning women candidates of @BJP4India in West Bengal,
Rekha Patra, the victim of Sandeshkhali mass gang rape by TMC men.
Ratna Debnath, mother of RG Kar hospital rape & murder victim.
Kalita Maji, worked as a house maid.
All three won!
Meanwhile, the shrill witches of Momotabeth are hiding under a layer of foundation and red
This is the very tweet that, back in 2021, brought me rape threats, just because I shared a candid view. It spiraled so widely that it reached my college. I was still a student then, and things didn’t stop at online abuse. Boys from the college union showed up at my house to intimidate me.
That was the “freedom of speech” I experienced back then.
But this morning feels different.
I’ve been crying since yesterday, and for the first time after an election, these aren’t tears of fear or helplessness… they are tears of happiness.
If not for SIR, dead people must have ensured TMC got 20 out of 20 https://x.com/i/status/2051538306492711159

BJP karyakartas reopened Shop of BJP ex mandal President Binod Patel after winning.
It was closed by ex TMC MLA Khokan Das as Binod Patel refused to join TMC after 2021 election.

Today’s moment brings back the chilling memory of Dulal Kumar, a BJP karyakarta brutally killed in Balrampur in 2018, reflection of the political violence that plagued West Bengal under Mamata and TMC rule.
This is more than just a political outcome, it carries the weight of those sacrifices.
Dedicated to every BJP karyakarta and supporter who lost their lives to TMC-sponsored violence, from Avijit Sarkar, Trilochan Mahato, Dulal Kumar, to the countless others whose names we may never know.
We remember them and we’re indebted to them for their sacrifices.
-TMC Bigot @GargaC who harrased BJP workers and Bihari migrants has deactivated account.
-TMC IT Cell head
@NilanjanDasAITC
has removed everything from his Bio. He was the one sending Bengal Police to house of Social Media Users who spoke against Hitler didi.
-TMC spokesperson Riju Das who was threatening BJP openly is now begging for safety.
-Several Other TMC accounts who used to threaten Bengali Hindus have deactivated and ran away.
These are cowards who used TMC Power to harass Hindus.

This northern party thingee is just a cover, just like their so called opposition to hindi is. It is used to scare away the govts at the centre, and keep them all at bay so that the dravidas can do what they want to push their separatist agenda
chetak saar,
I think the South is being careful of the "Northern" influence. TN, Keralam, Karnataka, Telengana, AP are clear examples of why BJP is not being embraced wholeheartedly. The AP model of Chandrababu Naidu aligned with BJP is the most that BJP can do for now. The others are in an INC embrace with the mad cap princeling in charge. BJP in the center has tapped people like Jaishankar and Nirmala but in the south they don't have political clout. We need to prevent states to fall into INC lap, which is really anti-India, pro china and pro SoreAss. Getting local leaders is step one and keeping them on your side is step two like AP. Good leadership is what voting people crave, parties etc are secondary.
Don't include Karnataka in that list. BJP has long had a solid base in Karnataka and has formed government on its own. But a series of missteps and new batch of useless leaders has messed up its chances.
In the South, Excluding Karntaka, the Trust level has not reached a level that they can wholeheartedly vote for BJP. Usually people are forced to choose between two alternatives and BJP has not presented itself as a strong alternative. People want chance, they choose the already existing opposition. So the growth is very slow. Annamalai type leaders should be given the chance and let them work on the ground for 10 years presenting as the one and only alternative that will work for their well being. Things will change.
BJP also need to be agressively defending Hindu causes like Suvendhu did in WB. The Wet cat attitude and trying to cobble together alliances are no more of help.
Didi says she wont resign!
How will this pan out??
I mean once the EC officially announce the results will the Governor be duty bound to call the newly elected legislators to take oath.
And the largest party officially elect their leader and approach the Governor to be appointed as CM.
So if Didi doesnt tender resignation, can he sack her??
And if that happens can she then run to SC for help and delay the process of new government being sworn in.
Is she doing doing this deliberately to go to SC and mess up the due process of handing over the power
Any legal experts, please explain what happens next.

Is there a Yogi Adityanath clone to head Bengal? Will anything less suffice?
Why assume that only a sanyasi can do it? Suvendu Adhikari has been working diligently and firmly resisted TMC goons without any fear. Also he is not a grhastha (no wife/children).
Not sanyasi; energy and force of character and such.

The term of the sarkar expires automatically. The Guv will administer the oath to the new MLAs, whoever shows up. Those who do not take oath by a certain date will face forfeiture. The new sarkar will evict MoMo, I hope she will be literally thrown out. Ye kisi ki Didi nahi rahi.

As far as I understand, the term of the current WB assembly ends on 8th May, if a government is not in place by that time, Presidents rule should be applicable.
Without craving any recognition. Such silent workers are what make BJP win.
The Congress party and its chamchas who work for money will never be able to get such selfless people.

Mahesh Jethmalani Says Mamata Banerjee 'Has To Be Unceremoniously Dismissed' | West Bengal Verdict
In an exclusive interview, senior Supreme Court advocate Mahesh Jethmalani condemned outgoing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her refusal to resign following her election defeat. Reacting to her claims that the election was stolen and the Election Commission was complicit, Jethmalani stated, "When you have a recalcitrant chief minister who sticks like a lemming to her chair, she has to be unceremoniously dismissed." He explained that under the Constitution, a chief minister holds office at the pleasure of the governor, and her term naturally expires after five years. Jethmalani dismissed her allegations as posturing, suggesting she fears investigations into corruption and post-poll violence once she leaves office. He further criticized the political environment in the state, remarking, "There is no more fascist, intolerant, totalitarian state than that in West Bengal under the governance of Mamata Banerjee." Additionally, Jethmalani dismissed Rahul Gandhi's support for Banerjee, calling the Leader of the Opposition an "unmitigated disaster" who lacks credibility to question the electoral process.
