Bengal between devil & deep sea

Deccan Chronicle  

Bengal politics is on the boil on the slogan of Jai Shree Ram by the BJP and its bitter on-streets opposition by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her street-fighters. The violence unleashed on the opposition cadre, specially of the Left forces, in spite of several pro-people measures of TMC government, led to an exodus of a large number of political activists of the opposition in Bengal towards BJP in the last two to three years. The local leadership of BJP is sharply divided among three camps: old guard like Rahul Sinha, RSS recruits like state BJP president Dileep Ghosh, and TMC turncoats like Mukul Roy and Arjun Singh. The deep-seated anger of the Left and dangerous desire to bring down TMC, much like the former did to the Left Front, is at the crux of the BJP's victory in Bengal.
