A Ray of Hope

Is BJP heading for a pattern major part of the Country chose? Answer is yes, though it’s delayed. People of Bengal remained confused as who to vote for in place of CPI (M) led Left Front. Surely the Trinamool Congress got advantage as their last vote share was also on higher side; however the major chunk was grabbed by BJP (see the tables below).

Loksabha Elections 2014

S. No.	Party	Seat Won	Vote %	Vote Shift
1	TMC	34	39.3	+7.5
2	CPIM	2	22.7	-10.4
3	CPI	0	2.3	-1.3
4	RSP	0	2.4	-1.16
5	FB	0	2.1	-1.06
6	INC	4	9.6	-3.85
7	BJP	2	16.8	+10.66
8	SUC	0	0.7	-0.5

 Loksabha Elections 2009

S. No.	Party	Seat Won	Vote %
1	TMC	19	31.8
2	CPIM	9	33.1
3	CPI	2	3.6
4	RSP	2	3.56
5	FB	2	3.04
6	INC	6	13.45
7	BJP	1	6.14
8	SUC	1	1.2

The above table is self explanatory. With 9.6% votes Congress got 4 seats whereas BJP could get only 2 seats though its vote share was 16.8%. Also TMC seats increased from 19 to 34 though their vote share increased by only 7.5%. That is where the tactics come. Surely there was a silent pact between TMC, Congress and CPI(M) which has come to lime light now. Nine of the Congress MLAs, Two of RSP MLAs and One CPI(M) MLA joined TMC which has proved what we are saying here. Such defection never happened in West Bengal earlier. It shows that these 12 MLAs has betrayed their voters and must be taught lessons in future elections.

BJP also should also screen all the candidates before choosing them that they stay under the party guidelines. The Future of the party is bright in the state and should not miss the chance as TMC is losing its ground very fast and no surprise it gets eroded by 2016 as happened to Congress in many states.
