In an effort to encash her recognition past West Bengal and cement her place as a countrywide leader, All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) president Mamata Banerjee has fielded 3 applicants in Jharkhand. TMC has decided to nominate Anjana Mahato from Jamshedpur seat, Sanjay Kumar Pandey from Ranchi and Mondol Hansda from Rajmahal.
Soon after Mamata’s announcement of fielding 3 applicants and her promising that the list could be larger within the days to come back, she received a jolt when her birthday party's Jharkhand in fee and ‘bahubali neta’ and MLA from Bhatpara (West Bengal) Arjun Singh abandoned her camp and joined BJP.
Angered after being not noted for the Barrackpore seat, Singh left the birthday party.
Meanwhile, talking concerning the prospects of TMC in Jharkhand, poll pundits say the birthday party will safe votes lesser than NOTA and after Arjun Singh's resignation will make the placement worse. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, 15,629 NOTA votes were solid within the Jamshedpur constituency.
On the other hand, seeking to cash in on the kurmi votes (2.five lakh of 16 lakh electorate) Mamata played her caste playing cards secure in Jamshedpur seat via fielding Anjana Mahato, who is from the same community. Incidentally, Kurmis have at all times played a major position in deciding the fate of Jamshedpur applicants since the 1989 general glections, when Shailendra Mahato from the community received the seat on a JMM ticket.
Sources mentioned Anjana is a professor within the regulation division of Bankura University in West Bengal and, apparently, is the wife of Srikant Mahato, the TMC MLA from Salboni in West Midnapore. Knowing that she has to get rid of her outsider tag, Anjana expressed self assurance that her family staying in East Singhbhum district will play an lively position in wooing the electorate in her favour.
Meanwhile, a bit of the Bengali population within the Steel City are offended with Mamata's choice of candidate. They feel somebody from the state will have to were given an opportunity as Jharkhand has an enormous Bengali population — at one time, Jamshedpur (west and east meeting segments) had 40% Bengali population. Anjana expressed self assurance that Mamata’s common schemes in Bengal could be applied in Jharkhand as soon as Federal Front (3rd front) is elected to power.
