Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee is apparently trying to become the new head of the opposition unit, but her own house seems to have been marred with strife. Take the example of Goa, the champion land of defection, from where Luizinho Faleiro, came to TMC just before the Goa elections, did not even contest the assembly elections, and went straight to the Rajya Sabha. Now it is being said that Mama is angry with him these days. Flerio, a former Goa CM, has won seven assembly elections, despite this Mamata did not give him a place in the TMC’s Goa core committee. Mamata is probably aware that these days, Faleiro is giving saffron color to his dreams, so in the Presidential and Vice Presidential elections, he supported the NDA and towed a line other than TMC. His votes were in support of Draupadi Murmu and Jagdeep Dhankhar. Now Didi has got information that Faleiro may go to the BJP’s court very soon. Sources reveal that a major reason for this is the fact that the Faleiro family has a large and luxurious resort in the coastal area, which still falls under the legal definition of illegal, the government can bring it under the legal definition if it wants, but this process is extremely complex and lengthy and legalizing it can take up to three years. Not even six months have passed since the BJP government was formed in Goa and 8 Congress MLAs have already shifted to the BJP. There is a huge void in the name of the opposition, so Faleiro is being cautious and does not want to take any kind of risk.

Sushmita Dev, who hails from a big political family of Assam, who left Congress and joined Trinamool Congress, has also made up her mind to leave TMC. In fact, Sushmita is worried about her political future. When she left the Congress, she used to be an important member of Rahul Gandhi’s core team. Sushmita hoped that Mamata would at least send her to the Rajya Sabha. But this did not happen and Sushmita’s hopes were shattered. Sushmita is also well aware that winning the Lok Sabha elections in Assam on a TMC ticket is nothing less than miracle. So, she has already started exploring the new door of possibilities. Such is the situation now that when TMC’s core group meeting was going on in Guwahati and instead of Sushmita attending that meeting, Sushmita went to meet Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Didi scolded Sushmita to which Sushmita replied naively and said, “I had gone to talk to the CM that why so many atrocities are being committed against the people of our party in the state?” Didi could not say anything further!

Recently, Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav held a tea party at his house and invited senior leaders of his party who could not find a place in the new coalition government of Bihar despite their seniority. Tejashwi was sharing his mind with these leaders that suddenly a senior RJD leader who came from Munger asked Tejashwi, “You made Nitish Kumar again the Chief Minister while his vote percentage is less in front of our party at only 10-12 percent, and on riding our vote share, he is dreaming of becoming the PM of the country in 2024. And what have you got in return, only the post of Deputy CM?” Tejashwi listened carefully to the words of that leader and patiently answered, “You are senior to me in both age and experience. Try to understand that in Bihar there are 40 Lok Sabha seats. Congress and Left will fight on 4-6 seats in 2024. Out of the remaining 34 seats, 17-17 seats will be left for RJD and JDU. Our target is that this time we have to win all these 17 seats employing our entire might. Now it is up to Nitish ji that how many seats he can win out of his share of 17. Political observers tell that Nitish ji can get 12 seats, so can anyone with 12 seats be a serious prime ministerial candidate. The media of Delhi will also have to understand this.”

Rahul and Congress are in awe of the initial successes of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. This visit of Rahul is also intended to give a big jump to the Congress’s seat count in 2024. Keeping in view the ’24 elections, Rahul’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is passing through the same states where the Congress is seeing some ray of hope for itself, where they have a cadre, a leader and thus, a hope. Where there is no hope, like in Uttar Pradesh, the ‘Yatra’ has been reduced to 5 days. Those states have also been left where the Congress is dependent on its allies, such as Tamil Nadu, where the Congress’s journey lasted only 3 days. The journey started from Kanyakumari and reached Kerala on the third day, because of the Congress politics in Tamil Nadu is dependent on DMK. Rahul’s journey is to last 19 days in a small state like Kerala, 21 days in Karnataka and 13 days in Telangana. That is, in a journey of 148 days, Rahul is spending 53 days only in those 3 states of the South. Similarly, the assembly elections are to be held in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh next year, where the Congress wants to maintain its previous performance. Rahul’s journey in Rajasthan is of 21 days and in Madhya Pradesh it is of 16 days. It will be of 11 days in Punjab and 12 days in Haryana. At the same time, the journey in Delhi will be reduced to just 2 days. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, there were 29 seats where the BJP defeated the Congress by a small margin and 57 seats where the BJP’s victory margin from the Congress was less than one lakh. So, this time on these 86 Lok Sabha seats, Congress wants to put its full emphasis and wants to at least double its seats as compared to 2019.

In the recently concluded Raipur session of the RSS, in which BJP President JP Nadda and Organization General Secretary BL Santosh had specially come to Raipur to attend, there was a rift in relations between the Sangh and the BJP. The Sangh believes that in the last few years, the BJP has achieved the desired political expansion, but in comparison, the Sangh has not been able to give the desired expansion to its organization. The Sangh is also said to be angry with the BJP that the Sangh was not involved in the process of changing the CM of Karnataka, where today the BJP has expanded due to the efforts of the Sangh. The opinion of the Sangh was not taken in the manner in which the BJP in-charges were changed before the coordination meeting of the Sangh at Raipur. Sources reveal that Modi and Shah want to extend the tenure of BJP’s current national president JP Nadda till 2024, while the Sangh is projecting Union Minister Nitin Gadkari as the new BJP president.
