CPI-M, Cong gasp for alternative narrative on rising political heat on 'Bengali Pride'

Amid the rising political heat in West Bengal over the issues of 'Bengali Pride' and 'Bengalis in Danger' with both Trinamool Congress and BJP weaponising their narratives and counter-narratives, the other two political forces in the state, namely CPI(M)-led Left Front and Congress, are gasping for their alternative storylines.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made it clear that her war cry on the issues of "Bengali Pride" and "Bengalis in Danger" will be her party Trinamool Congress' principal campaign line against the BJP for the crucial West Bengal Assembly elections next year.

The BJP, also, has pronounced its strategy to counter Mamata Banerjee's "Bengali victim card" by the counter-narrative that this sudden popping up of Bengali Pride is nothing but the Chief Minister's ploy to protect the illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi infiltrators in West Bengal since the latter constitute the dedicated vote bank of her party.
