West Bengal: West Bengal’s political landscape is once again experiencing heightened tension. Humayun Kabir, a suspended Trinamool Congress legislator, has declared himself “Bengal’s Owaisi” and stated that he will be a key factor in the upcoming assembly elections. Following this statement, speculation has intensified regarding whether he has directly challenged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Rising Political Tensions Following Party Announcement
Kabir, who recently laid the foundation stone for a replica of the Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, is now preparing to launch his new political party by the end of this month. During a press conference, he stated that he will work on issues concerning the Muslim community by forming this new party. This announcement could significantly impact the Trinamool Congress’s Muslim voter base, as approximately 27% of the state’s Muslim voters have historically been b supporters of the party.
Claims of Close Ties with Owaisi – Potential Alliance?
Kabir stated in the press conference that he has held discussions with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi. He claims Owaisi has indicated support by referring to him as “Bengal’s Owaisi.” Kabir asserts that he will form a committee for his party in Kolkata on December 10th and officially launch the party before millions of supporters on December 12th.
However, neither AIMIM nor Owaisi have issued any official response to Kabir’s statements. Nevertheless, his claims have fueled speculation about a potential electoral alliance between AIMIM and Kabir in the coming days.
