The political battle strains in Bengal have now been drawn with Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee deciding to deal with her election rally in Purulia on March 15, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi launching his marketing campaign from March 18.
On Friday night, Mamata Banerjee was discharged from SSKM Hospital in Kolkata after 48 hours of commentary. Visuals of Mamata sitting in a wheelchair together with her left leg solid in plaster, have now change into the important thing poster for Bengal elections. The docs had suggested her full relaxation and had stated that her leg could be examined after every week. But the chief minister and her aides have now determined that she would resume her ballot marketing campaign.
On Friday after her discharge from hospital, Mamata appeared weak and in ache. She was unable to face up from her wheelchair. Her safety personnel helped her by shifting the chief to the entrance seat of the car. Mamata didn’t communicate to the media after being discharged, however it’s now virtually sure that she can be addressing most of her rallies sitting in a wheelchair. On Sunday (March 14), she’s going to launch her celebration election manifesto in Kolkata.
Now that her harm has change into the speaking level amongst widespread voters in Bengal, the Trinamool Congress leaders expect an enormous sympathy wave in favour of their chief. Both the Trinamool Congress and the BJP have demanded probe into the incident in Nandigram through which Mamata was injured. Whatever often is the final result of the probe, the sight of the chief minister addressing rallies sitting in a wheelchair is bound to change into an enormous draw among the many crowds.
A senior Trinamool chief like Saugata Roy tried to hyperlink three factors. He stated, one, state BJP leaders Dilip Ghosh and Saumitra Khan had already predicted that one thing was going to occur in Nandigram, two, the Prime Minister in his Brigade Parade floor speech had requested, what if Mamata’s scooty slipped in Nandigram, and three, the DGP and ADG(Law and Order) of state police had been all of a sudden eliminated.
It is true Modi had requested what if Mamata’s scooty slipped in Nandigram, however it was a figurative comment. He was questioning whether or not Mamta would lose the Nandigram ballot, however the PM’s comment was torn out of context by a senior chief like Saugata Roy. On Friday, Trinamool employees took out silent protest marches to sentence what they stated ‘attack on our leader’.  Till Wednesday, Mamata’s celebration was on the defensive with a number of leaders deserting the celebration, however Mamata’s harm has now kindled enthusiasm amongst her candidates and supporters.  
Naturally, the BJP management is anxious and their ballot calculations have gone awry. If Mamata’s harm turns into the primary political concern, it’ll certainly act as a bonus level for Trinamool Congress. With Mamata campaigning in a wheelchair, the message to the voters will exit loud and clear. The ‘daughter of Bengal’ is bound to realize sympathy, notably amongst ladies voters.

The BJP management will now must calculate how you can decrease the political injury that this incident has brought about. Till the center of this week, BJP was on the offensive, on points like minorities appeasement, Hindu points, political killings, and dying of BJP supporters. But now, the desk appears to have been turned.
A Mamata, sitting in a wheelchair, and levelling allegations about how she was attacked, is bound to go down deep into the psyche of the widespread Bengali voters. The visuals of Mamata’s left leg solid in plaster are certainly going to place the BJP on the defensive. BJP leaders could query, why Mamata was silent when BJP President J P Nadda’s convoy was attacked in Diamond Harbour.
The solely comfort for the BJP is that there at the moment are many leaders now within the celebration, who had been earlier related to Mamata Banerjee. They know very effectively how Mamata, prior to now, used her accidents to sway voters. These leaders are certainly going to inform the voters that Mamata’s harm was a ‘political drama’. The most distinguished of those leaders is Suvendu Adhikari, who, on Friday, filed his nomination from Nandigram in opposition to Mamata. It is Suvendu Adhikari who’s now going to name the bluff.
