er CVoter poll put out on March ACTRESS JOINS CONGRESS

NEW DELHI: Ending all speculation, famed Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar joined the Congress in the national capital this week. Matondkar, 45, who shot to fame as a child star in “Masoom” (1983), is likely to be named the Congress candidate for the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat. Welcomed into the party by top Congress leaders, including party President Rahul Gandhi, Matondkar dismissed all apprehensions, saying : “I am here to stay - even after the elections.” She also praised Rahul Gandhi saying a leader should judge people by their qualities and not their background. If fielded in Mumbai North, Matondkar’s formidable rival would be Bharatiya Janata Party’s sitting MP Gopal Shetty in the constituency, which was once regarded a BJP bastion. — IANS

est Bengal could be on the threshold of a new chapter in its post-independence political history with the coming Lok Sabha polls likely to throw up a new political polarization between the opposition BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress, pushing the Left Front and Congress further into the margins. The polarization about which analysts have been speaking about in more clear-cut terms, particularly after the collapse of the seat-sharing talks between the Congress and the Left Front, could on a shallow reading seem abrupt, but to the more discerning observers it is the culmination of a process latent in the history of the state and longterm efforts to create a narrative for the political right wing. With large streams of Hindu refugees arriving in West Bengal from East Pakistan after partition, and their numbers only getting bolstered during the Bangladesh War of Independence in 1971, Bengal was always a fertile ground for the Hindu right wing forces to spread their influence. But the emergence of the Left parties, led by the Communist Party of India, and later the CPIM, and their success in establishing their sway over the refugees spoiled the chances of the Hindutva forces

sion to halt the Durga Puja immersion on the day of the Muslim religious occasion of Muharram as a precautionary measure to prevent any breach of peace was exploited by the BJP and Parivar to raise a shrill cry against the government’s “anti-Puja stance”. Soon after, the city and the districts were witness to grand Ram Navami rallies - many of them displaying tridents, swords and spears. Then followed the Hanuman Jayanti rallies. The high-voltage observation of religious occasions, some of them till then not very popular in Bengal, gave a push to religious polarization, that got further accentuated as the state saw a series of communal disturbances in places like Asansol, Kharagpur, Basirhat and Dhulagarh. A very significant happening since the 2016 assembly polls was the BJP’s success in roping in Mamata Banerjee’s close lieutenant Mukul Roy. A man highly-rated for his organizational skills and credited with having played a stellar role in ensuring the Trinamool’s stunning electoral successes, Roy was also a champion in causing defections from other parties. RSS pracharak Arvind Menon, the co-incharge for the state, and the party’s joint general secretary (organisation) Shiv Prakash are the other key men.

everal states will witness multi-cornered contests in the coming Lok Sabha elections with the BJP expected to gain in some seats due to lack of opposition unity and fragmentation of votes against it. Incumbent parties could also gain on some seats due to fragmentation of votes. Several states including Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Jammu and Kashmir will witness triangular or multi-cornered contests. In Uttar Pradesh, where Bahujan Samaj Party, Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal have formed an alliance, the Congress is keen to put up a serious fight and has brought in Priyanaka Gandhi Vadra as a star campaigner.

Though Congress is expected to draw some upper caste votes of the BJP, it will also divide opposition votes and attract some of those who have already made up their

mind to replace the ruling party at the Centre. The Congress has good candidates on some seats who had put credible performance when the

BJP swept the state in 2014 by winning 73 of 80 seats with its allies. The BJP had gained in the last parliamentary polls in the state as opposition votes were split between the Bahujan Samaj Party, Samajwadi Party and Congress. Analysts said that BJP will gain if opposition votes split. They said that several opposition parties have similar vote base and a division in vote share causes problems. The BJP had polled around 31 per cent of vote in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and got full majority. The analysts also said that electoral scene across states was different and multi-polar contests will play out differently. In West Bengal, the BJP is keen to emerge as a force to reckon with and has set a target of 23 of 42 Lok Sabha seats. West Bengal Chief

Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool, which is leading party of the opposition alliance, has set its eyes on winning all 42 seats. The state will witness a multi-cornered contest with CPI-M and the Congress failing to reach an understanding. While the CPI-M had won two seats in 2014, Congress had won four. In Haryana, the main contest is likely to be between the BJP and Congress but AAP is also keen to put up a challenge. The Indian National Lok Dal has split into two and the two factions have strongholds in certain pockets of the state. In Tamil Nadu, both the ruling AIADMK and opposition DMK have formed their alliances but Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) of actor-turned politician Kamal Haasan is challenging them on all the seats.
