Explosive enthusiasm sweeps Singur as BJP faithful await PM Modi’s touchdown, openly forecasting TMC’s political obliteration. The town’s transformation into a BJP bastion underscores shifting sands in Mamata’s backyard.
Singur’s lore – birthplace of anti-land grab protests that felled CPI(M) – now fuels anti-TMC fervor. Modi’s visit weaponizes memory, promising closure through growth and governance.
Cadres exude confidence. ‘This is do-or-die for Bengal BJP,’ confides strategist Rajib Ghosh. Preparations dazzle: flower arches, digital billboards streaming Modi’s past speeches, and youth flash mobs executing precision drills.
Narrative threads weave local-global: criticizing TMC’s lawlessness from Singur to Sandeshkhali, touting Modi’s welfare revolution. Farmers laud soil health cards; artisans praise Mudra loans snubbed by state.
Logistics impress: 500+ buses marshalled, medical camps stationed, even pet-friendly zones for animal-loving Bengalis. Women’s delegations, empowered by BJP’s Beti Bachao campaigns, lead chants against Didir Dulal atrocities.
Strategically, Modi targets Hooghly’s industrial belt, pledging SEZs and skill parks. Data backs the hype: BJP’s 2021 surge from 3% to 38% statewide signals voter realignment.
TMC’s damage control – deploying local heavyweights – appears reactive. Ground pulse favors BJP, with defectors spilling governance beans.
As showtime nears, Singur symbolizes Bengal’s crossroads: continue cut-money stasis or embrace Viksit aspirations? Workers’ roar suggests the die is cast.
