Over the last few days I watched some oif the Bengali YouTube channels and social media content and I must say they were rather hilariously delusional in their content. It seems to me these people are living in some alternate universe - for some the recent elections and their results did not happen and for others, while it did happen it will somehow change soon :)

Let me give you a few points to show why I am saying the above :-

* In some places the TMC goons are still trying to do extortion as usual.

* The goons and party workers are still indulging in violence, a few of the BJP workers have also been killed, several others injured.

* Some leaders are still hoping that something will happen to the election results through the Supreme court or otherwise.

* Mamata and her coterie is blaming the BJP for exactly the same things that they had perpetrated so brazenly after the 2021 elections.

* Mob belonging to a particular community tried to foment violence and unrest, thinking that things will be as before - they did get a quick reality check.

* TMC supporters and YouTubers take the cake - not one intelligent discussion about why such a rout came about, they just want to defend the indefensible track record of TMC.

My advice to all these people will be to wake up and smell the coffee. You have had your cheese for 15 long years but now it has indeed moved. If you try to behave in the same manner, it will only result in personal misfortune and TMC will not be able to stand by you in any manner. As I see it, the following are likely to happen :-

* The SIR issue is likely to fizzle out in the SC. Once the adjudication is over, I do not think anything more than 10-12 lacs will get voting rights.

* Even if you take that TMC would have got all these votes, they would still not have crossed 100 seats anyway, so the SIR is a moot point.

* Mamata will get embroiled in the IPAC raid case. At best she can get away with a serious reprimand, at worst she is looking at a jail term.

* For Abhishek and a lot of other TMC leaders the law will take its own course.

* BJP will focus on the infrastructure, industrialization, welfare schemes, eradication of corruption and there will be serious changes in West Bengal by the end of the year.

* The political end game for the BJP is to get 30 plus seats in the Lok sabha elections of 2029, this will easily take their tally to 300 plus.

* In terms of West Bengal, I find it almost impossible to visualize the TMC making a comeback. It is a party without any ideology, is high on criminality and corruption and have brought the state to the brink of destruction.

* The final point - some YouTubers have pointed out that TMC still has 40 % plus votes. They clearly lack any political intellect - these perople voted the TMC thinking they are voting for the winning party. Now that they realize it is not going to be so, a lot of them will shift their voting allegiance.

All in all , West Bengal remains a politically interesting state but not because of the TMC - it is to see if the BJP can change the fortunes of the state and its people.

West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari has granted sanction to the CBI to prosecute officials involved in the alleged Teachers Recruitment Scam, Municipality Recruitment Scam, and Cooperative Scam in West Bengal.

The sanction for prosecution had reportedly been withheld under the previous government. The move is being seen as a major development in the ongoing corruption investigations linked to recruitment and cooperative sector irregularities in the state.
