News Desk, Kolkata : In the political arena where postures speak louder than words, Mamata Banerjee’s absence from the protest platform raised eyebrows. While she voiced dissent from her seat, other MPs attended the Trinamool’s second-in-command Abhishek Banerjee’s coronation at Raj Bhavan. Interestingly, Mamata, who usually takes center stage at such displays, was conspicuously missing from the political spectacle, sparking speculations.
Abhishek Banerjee, the Trinamool MP, claimed his absence was due to health reasons, a narrative that echoed in Mamata’s past endeavors. Last Friday, Mamata, in a similar fashion, assumed the protest stance for 48 hours, citing central election rigging as the cause. However, looking back, it becomes evident that Abhishek had undertaken a similar narrative journey to Delhi last year, carrying the torch of Mamata’s claims.
Abhishek, once again, sat in protest at Raj Bhavan, standing in for the absent Mamata Banerjee. His claims of ill health resonated, mirroring Mamata’s narrative from the previous year. Yet, uncertainty surrounds Abhishek’s physical condition, raising questions about the authenticity of his self-proclaimed illness.
When asked about the situation at the airport, Sougata Roy, a Trinamool leader, distanced himself, saying, “He has definitely come. I don’t know. Check the records. I am not his personal assistant.” However, Sougata Roy, in response to the same question later, stated, “I don’t know. I have no information about his health. I haven’t spoken to him, but I think he is undergoing treatment.”
Sources close to Abhishek Banerjee’s office provide conflicting information. While one part indicates his presence in Delhi for medical purposes, the other suggests he is occupied with personal emergency work. As Mamata heads to Delhi on Monday, there are murmurs that Abhishek might return with her to Kolkata. The uncertainty prevails, leaving the audience intrigued about the unfolding political drama.
Amidst the ambiguity, Mamata’s ‘dharna’ platform still stands. As she resumes her protest, the question looms whether Abhishek Banerjee’s reappearance will add a new chapter to this political saga. Sukanta Majumdar, BJP’s state president, offered his take on the situation, stating, “It’s a health issue for becoming the Chief Minister. Mental health, which does not require any treatment.” He further commented, “If the CBI or ED do something, it becomes a drama.”
The narrative unfolds as Mamata’s protest continues, with anticipation building around the possible reunion of Abhishek and Mamata in Kolkata. The political script is in flux, with twists and turns that keep the audience guessing. As Mamata takes the stage once again, the story of ‘dharna’ gains momentum, leaving behind a trail of speculations and unanswered questions.
In this intricate political theater, the spotlight shifts between health claims, protest platforms, and the looming uncertainty of Abhishek Banerjee’s role. As the saga unfolds, it becomes clear that this narrative is far from reaching its climax. The stage is set, and the players are in position, but the audience is left hanging, eagerly awaiting the next act in this gripping political drama.
