The West Bengal Assembly elections are set to take place in a few months. But the situation is becoming more explosive from now on. Two powerful leaders are set to face off in the election battlefield. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The election date has not been announced, but the two sides have launched a campaign. There are meetings, there are marches. The show has seemed a bit unfocused in recent episodes. Mamata has been in the state for the last 10 years. Modi has also been the Prime Minister for four years. There will be fierce competition between them to win West Bengal. In the last assembly elections, Mamata won a one-sided victory, while the BJP won only four seats. But the picture has changed since the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The party won 14 of the 72 seats in the election. The success has sparked enthusiasm among party leaders and workers. Based on this, the BJP has intensified its preparations to exert all its power to gain power. Mamata is not silent either. He is also preparing for the attack. As a result, there is a lot of excitement and explosion in the state now. Winning the election is the goal of any party. But to achieve this goal, a dangerous game has begun in the state. That was the game of communalism. Minority satisfaction, NCR and CAA are being addressed rather than development. Asaduddin Awaisi’s Ittehadul Muslim has jumped into the game of fire. Awaisi is excited after winning five seats in the last Bihar assembly elections. He has launched a campaign targeting the Muslim vote. West Bengal is the only state in the country where the Muslim population is 30 percent. Of the 24 seats in the state legislature, about 100 have the same number of Muslim voters. They are said to have supported Mamata in the last election. So while some groups are threatening them in the name of NRC and CAA, Awesi is trying to take advantage of it. Because of this, the situation in the state is going to be dangerous for both the state and the country. The danger lies in the division of voters on the basis of religion. An atmosphere of disbelief and enmity. Which is not a good sign for our country at all. It will further blow up the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections next year. So in the larger interest of the country, leaders should fight elections, focusing on development, not communalism. There will be unity, there will be harmony.
