Jhalmuri - More than just a Snack!!
Eating a Bengali snack - Jhalmuri, at a roadside shop, has stirred a hornet's nest in TMC camp.
Before elections there was a huge outrage by a section of media, online social media blue ticks, even retired CAPF personnel. This was over a bill which provided to unify all the different units of CAPF under one umbrella & same set of regulations so that administering them is easy. They knew so well in advance its implications. Common man, as always, willingly got fooled.
Now see for who those smart experts, blue ticks were batting for. See the consequence of unified command structure -

Why was this needed?

Why Central Forces & not state police?
The real game in Bengal happens between a voter's residence & the polling booth. One who controls that, wins Bengal. And in this is complicit every possible hurdle a ruling dispensation can throw - bureaucracy, state police, local area goons (carrom clubs).
If anyone speaks against on camera, party goons identify that person & harass the family. If the poor do not return from the states they are working in for a living back to Bengal & vote for the ruling party, the family who is staying in the home state is stripped of government benefits. So you see people shying away on camera to name who will win, whom they would vote for. You are seeing trains full of migrants working in other states, paying money from pocket & returning back to vote.
Now you might think how they ensure these people have voted for the ruling party?
Sharing one example:
In every constituency representatives of each party are made aware which number on the EVM their name stands at. Against the ruling party's candidate's name, the button is smeared with ittar (concentrated strong perfume). Voter presses the button long enough, comes out & the smell from his finger is verified by polling booth agents.
No smell? Consequences.
After polling is over & central forces depart, administration goes back from EC to state's control, then starts post poll violence. Carrom clubs & local goons ensure retribution.
Surprised?
Finding it difficult to believe if one state in India is still not living in 2026 but in some era shown in old movies. So despite having a wind in their favour, BJP couldn't win Bengal in 2021. It learnt lessons & identified its mistakes.
So you see empowerment of government agencies this time.
EC conducting SIR to weed out all doubtful voters.
CEC able to tell ruling party members to GET OUT, taking civil administration to task, massive transfers, importing administration officers from other states. After T.N Seshan seeing a CEC who is such a tough nut.
Courts supervising SIR by deputing its own judicial officers.
CAPFs patrolling every nook & corner, promising people to not worry as they would stay back even after elections are over to deal with post poll violence.
ED rounding up all money bag routes.
CPIM ruled for ~34 years, Congress ~26 years, TMC - 15 years. Mamata despite being second longest serving CM of the state, her party would be in the last position to have served least years in government.
Why are these videos of CAPF rounding up hooligans being recorded this time & circulated widely?
Media & ruling party are helping in circulation by showing it as illegal high handedness by security forces. What this is instead doing is removing fear from the common man. Ruling party is doing the job of ousting themselves.
So you see the same people who outraged on CAPF are the ones now doing the same about CEC, deployment of CAPF in record numbers. Why would any honest person be perturbed if central armed forces are deployed? Rather what does it say of the law & order of a state that it requires CAPF in such numbers for free & fair elections? The last we heard of such measures was in J&K elections. The rot is that deep.
Amit Shah called out Mamata's theatrics well in advance. So this time no bandage on head, plaster on leg, wheelchair, etc.
Shah tasked Suvendu Adhikari to contest from 2 seats. Mamata lost in 2021 against him. Had to contest bypoll from other seat to become CM. This time Adhikari has challenged her on both seats therefore. No escape route, only rout.
Another trick Modi-Shah played was kept Mamata busy fighting everyone. She & her party spent all their time fighting - fighting SIR, fighting courts, fighting EC, fighting ED (flicked files from an ongoing raid).
On the other hand, RSS was quietly doing its job connecting with people on ground. Not once but 3-4-5 times. When 1 person is connected with so many times, the job is half done. Polling day management to get elections conducted free & fair does the rest.
One way to gauge who is winning an election?
See which party is setting narratives & who is busy countering them. The one who sets the narrative, wins. In 2021, BJP went overboard making Mamata the central figure. She lapped up their mistakes - Didi O Didi jibes, insider vs outsider debate. 2026, no mistakes done. Learnt from past. Quiet campaigning, no noise.
You would have seen ruling party leaders challenging country's Home Minister to stay back after May 4th (voting day) in not very decent language -

Hope you understand the meaning of it & validating everything written above. Amit Shah is stationed in Bengal for 15 days juggling his responsibilities in Delhi in parallel. PM Modi by having jhalmuri has clearly conveyed results of the Bengal election. He distributed the snack to the women & kids around him & some took it like a prasad.

When is prasad given?
When pooja is over. Indeed pooja is over.
P.S: Message to voters in Bengal -
Go out & vote. Don't be afraid. Irrespective of the result, you will be protected. Bengal will be resolved like J&K. Some historical events await. Vote & enjoy jhalmuri. Rest everything will be taken care of.
Wake Up and Be on the side of Dharm.
