News Desk, Kolkata : Deepak Adhikari, popularly known as Dev, a Trinamool Congress MP and actor, has recently stirred speculation about his political future. In a recent Instagram post, he shared a photo of his name prominently displayed on an LED screen in the Lok Sabha with the caption, ‘Just a few hours more.’
Rumors have been circulating for the past few days about Dev’s potential candidacy in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The Instagram post has added fuel to the speculation, hinting at a significant announcement in the coming hours. The photo reveals an LED screen displaying his name in front of the Lok Sabha seating, accompanied by a board with his name beside it.
The timing of Dev’s post aligns with the approaching conclusion of the current Lok Sabha’s term, followed by the initiation of the electoral process for the new parliament. Dev, who resigned from the position of Chairman of Ghatatal College, Ghatatal Hospital’s Patient Welfare Committee, and Birbhum Development Board a few days ago, has kept the political circles on edge with his cryptic social media updates.
The political arena is abuzz with speculation, especially concerning a reported rift between Dev and a state minister. Although Dev has not explicitly addressed the rumors or expressed his political intentions, his close associates indicate his discontent. Many believe that the dissatisfaction may stem from Dev’s photo being excluded from a government event. However, Dev’s supporters argue that there might be other underlying reasons for his apparent displeasure.
One notable incident involves allegations related to an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding a financial irregularity in cattle smuggling. Dev was accused of financial involvement in the cattle smuggling trade, leading to scrutiny by the investigative agency. The controversy has raised questions about whether Dev is hesitant to contest elections due to these allegations.
While some sources suggest a strained relationship with a state minister as the primary reason for Dev’s dissatisfaction, others argue that the CBI investigation may be a contributing factor. Dev, however, has remained silent on these matters, neither confirming nor denying the speculations surrounding his political future.
In the midst of these speculations, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reportedly expressed interest in fielding Dev as a candidate in the upcoming elections. The recent meeting between Mamata Banerjee and Dev in Kaliaganj fueled further discussions. During the meeting, Mamata referred to Dev as an asset to their party, further intensifying the anticipation surrounding Dev’s potential political journey.
While the recent developments indicate a complex and evolving situation, Dev’s Instagram post suggests that clarity on his political stance might emerge soon. As the countdown to the Lok Sabha elections begins, all eyes are on Dev, awaiting an official announcement that could reshape the political landscape in West Bengal.
In conclusion, Dev’s journey from a beloved actor to a potential political figure has added intrigue to West Bengal’s political narrative. The dynamics between him and the ruling party, coupled with the unresolved allegations, create an air of uncertainty. As the state gears up for the upcoming elections, Dev’s decision could be a game-changer, influencing the political landscape and shaping the future of West Bengal politics.
