"TMC should be removed": Jitan Ram Manjhi on West Bengal polls

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi says TMC should be removed from power in West Bengal, as BJP MP Saumitra Khan predicts Mamata Banerjee's exit.

"The TMC government should be removed from power as they are not providing any benefits to the poor. - Jitan Ram Manjhi"

Patna, April 30

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Thursday exuded confidence in party's victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections.

"BJP is winning most of the elections...The TMC government should be removed from power as they are not providing any benefits to the poor," Jitan Ram Manjhi said.

BJP MP Saumitra Khan, highlighting the high voter turnout in the West Bengal election, reasoned that TMC is going out of the power.

"The biggest factor is that the people of Bengal have actually gone to the polling booth and cast their votes this time, and the credit goes to the Election Commission, central forces and West Bengal Police," he said.

"That is the reason there was a 92% turnout, so be rest assured, Mamata is going out this time, and BJP is coming in...my message to TMC workers would be not to engage in violence, if TMC doesn't come to power, the situation will get worse for them. Peace should prevail in West Bengal," he added.

The second phase of polling in West Bengal saw intense competition across key constituencies. While the TMC maintains that its welfare schemes will ensure a return to power, the BJP's narrative focuses heavily on corruption allegations and law-and-order issues.

The results of West Bengal polls will be declared on May 4, along with the outcome of polls in Assam, Keralam, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), poll participation in West Bengal (Phase-II) stood at 91.66 per cent till 7:45 PM. In phase I of the elections on April 23, the poll participation was 93.19 per cent, resulting in a staggering combined poll percentage over the two phases at 92.47 per cent.

Jitan Ram Manjhi is a seasoned leader, but his comments seem a bit premature. The TMC has faced corruption allegations, true, but we need concrete development policies from the BJP, not just slogans. Bengal needs a balanced approach, yaar!

"92% turnout" is impressive, but let's not forget that West Bengal has a history of high voting percentages. The real question is: are the benefits reaching the poorest? Manjhi-ji has a point—kaam ki baat karo, corruption nahi chahiye. 👏

As an outsider looking in, this election seems incredibly polarized. The BJP’s focus on law and order resonates, but the TMC’s welfare narrative is hard to ignore. May 4 results will be interesting—democracy at its most vibrant. 🙌

I am from Bengal and have seen both sides. Corruption under TMC is a real issue, but the BJP also needs to be careful not to polarize communities. Peace is paramount—jai hind! Let the people's voice decide.

Manjhi's confidence is typical pre-election rhetoric, but 92% turnout doesn't guarantee a BJP win—it could also mean TMC supporters showing up. Let's wait for the actual results instead of jumping to conclusions. 😐
