Mamata-Modi rematch with INDIA in tatters

New Indian Express  

As if to rub salt on the Congress’ wounds, the TMC has fielded popular cricketer Yusuf Pathan from Behampore against the Congress leader in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. We must not forget that just two years later, in 2021, Mamata managed to sweep the assembly elections, winning a whopping 215 seats. What is more, the voters have shown a high degree of discrimination in voting back Mamata after giving Modi an unambiguous thumbs up just two years earlier in the general elections. The 42 seats of West Bengal make it one of India’s most important states, the leader in the eastern electoral zone.
