Youngest among Mamata's 6 brothers, Swapan Banerjee or Babun is president of Bengal Olympic Association & Bengal Hockey Association, in charge of TMC sports wing, & key Mohun Bagan member.
After losing in 2021 state polls, Ghosh was made president of TMC’s youth wing, taking over from Abhishek Banerjee. In Jadavpur, she is pitted against BJP's Anirban Ganguly.
BJP could gain marginally from implementation in upcoming polls, but TMC plans to turn that around with protests on ground. CM Mamata will lead an anti-CAA rally in Siliguri today.
Implementation of CAA was a key demand of Matua-Namasudras, who form around 40% of electorate in Ranaghat (SC) and Bongaon (SC) Lok Sabha constituencies, both community strongholds.
Congress stuck to linking govt's move to 'electoral bonds scandal'. Meanwhile, Mamata said she would oppose the law 'if it discriminates against groups of people living in India'.
That neither Nusrat Jahan nor Mimi Chatterjee, TMC’s two glamourous filmstar MPs, have gotten re-nominated this time shows how discerning voters are. It's not lost on Mamata Banerjee.
Data shows large public sector banks received highest number of complaints in absolute terms, but fared better than several private banks when looked at on complaints-per-branch basis.
For BJP, CAA was strategic move that did not quite work out because those it would benefit could’ve been accommodated under existing laws, and new entrants would remain excluded.
