After Owaisi, Mamata Fumes Over Jharkhand Disom Party’s ‘Efforts’ to Boost Tribal Support for BJP in Bengal.

Source – news18.com

Kolkata: A day after slamming Asaduddin Owaisi’s party for dividing the Muslim votes in Bengal, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has now hit out at North Malda administration for failing to control a series of protests taken out by the Jharkhand’s Disom Party (JDP).

During a recent administrative meeting, a visibly angry Mamata came down heavily on the Malda Superintendent of Police Alok Rajoria for failing to control the rallies by the BJP backed Jharkhand’s Disom Party in Malda North.

“You have to be rough and tough now. How come Jharkhand’s Disom Party from Jharkhand is creating a law and order problem in Bengal. I don’t want to hear it again. Please do your job…. a police’s job is to maintain good governance and if they are unable to do this then they can leave and concentrate on theatre and singing,” Mamata said.

But, Mamata’s frustration aren’t with a cause. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, TMC had failed to open its account in Malda North and Malda South as the tribal votes had effectively coalesced towards the BJP. Adding to this, the challenge that Owaisi’s AIMIM will pose as it is attempting to win the significant Muslim vote.

In Malda North, BJP’s Khagen Murmu defeated sitting MP Mausam Noor, a former Congress MP who had fought on a TMC ticket, while in Malda South Abu Hasem Khan Choudhury of the Congress won the seat by defeating BJP’s Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury. TMC’s Md Moazzem Hossain stood third with 27.47% vote share.

Malda North shared a border with Jharkhand which played to Khagen Murmu’s advantage as he managed to consolidate the tribal vote with Jharkhand Disom Party’s support.

The last few months have seen a series of protests by Jharkhand’s Disom Party in North Malda over various demands, which TMC claims is a mere political strategy.

“If they have any demands, they should protest in Jharkhand. What does the West Bengal government have to do with their protest? They have a BJP government in Jharkhand but they are raising their demands in Bengal,” a TMC MLA in North Malda said.

The Jharkhand Disom Party is very active in North Malda’s Habibpur (among the assembly constituencies in the Adina area). In these two areas, the tribal vote share is nearly 80 per cent (the tribal vote share in North Malda is close to nearly 11.5 per cent), which helped BJP’s Khagen Murmu defeat a strong leader like Mausam Noor.

Jharkhand Disom Party, which mainly works for the rights of the tribals, not only helped Murmu win the Lok Sabha seat but also helped him to increase his vote share by 37.61 per cent (+22.52 per cent).

“In the Jangalamahal area too the BJP managed to strong inroads. She (Mamata) is basically worried that the tribal votes are shifting towards the BJP. Her aggression against the Jharkhand Disom Party during the administrative meeting was logical because they had failed to open an account in Malda,” political expert Mohit Ray said.

Jharkhand Disom Party was founded in 2002 by MP Salkhan Murmu. In August 2014, Salkhan Murmu merged his Jharkhand Disom Party with the BJP in the presence of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda.

The population of transgender voters has increased by more than 10 times in Ranchi since the last Vidhan Sabha elections of 2014.

The total number of third gender voters in 2014 was merely 7, whereas in 2019 as of on November 21, the total number of transgender voters registered in the electoral roll is 73.

“There has been a significant increase in the number of transgender voters since the 2014 Vidhan Sabha elections. This is primarily because of the various programmes launched for promotion of inclusive voting,” said District Election Officer cum Deputy Commissioner Rai Mahimapat Ray. After the judgment of the Supreme Court of India in NALSA versus Union of India in 2014, it has been established that a person by their own right can determine their gender and no medical or psychological tests will be required for the same. Various sensitization drives across different levels and government officials have been conducted in Ranchi, to ensure that government offices are aware of such right — and assure ease and respectfulness to all persons applying for official change in their name or gender. The district administration has also launched special drives right down to the booth level officer to include the names of transgender voters in the electoral roll.

Activities under SVEEP (Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation) are also being conducted in specific areas with high transgender registrations for voter awareness and electoral participation. “The events are being organised in areas where the booths have maximum enrollment of transgender voters. All posters for voter awareness programmes also have icons encouraging them to come out and cast their vote for inclusive voting.

This is being done to make everyone feel a part of the whole process and no one is left behind. The aim is to give a message that voting is for all regardless of the socio –economic background one belongs to,” said an official.

At polling stations in areas with high transgender registrations, the administration is trying to sensitize the polling personnel as well. Special confidence building measures are also being taken including safe voting process.

The administration is also ensuring that the voters are not discriminated at the polling booths and no untoward incidents take place.

As per the statistics, the total number of voters registered in Ranchi are 22,83,482 which includes 11,76,245 male and 11,07,164 female voters. The total voters registered for the 2014 Vidhan Sabha elections were 19,11,227 which included 10,45,910 male and 8,65,310 female voters.

National level swimmer Gopal Prasad Yadav would have not thought in his worst nightmare that even after winning medals for India, he will have to work at a tea stall to support his family.

Gopal, who runs a small tea shop named National Swimmer Tea Stall in Kazipur, Nayatola, is yet another example of the condition of sports and sportspersons in Bihar, who suffer because of the apathy of the system.

Keeping his dream to become an international swimmer aside, Gopal works at a tea stall to support his family.

‘National Swimmer Tea Stall’, the name attracts many customers. On being asked why it is named so, Gopal said that it highlights the plight of all athletes and he hopes that it will make people aware that a national level swimmer makes his living by selling tea.

In 1987, Gopal represented Bihar for the first time in the national swimming competition held in Kolkata. He then excelled in the national swimming competition held in Kerala in 1988 and 1989. He also came first in the 100 meters backstroke competition in the state championship held in BCA Danapur in 1988.

In 1990, he went for a job interview in the Postal Department but did not get the job.

Today, Gopal teaches swimming in the Ganges. He believes that this has kept his inner swimmer alive. He says that his sons Sunny Kumar and Sonu Kumar are good swimmers, but they gave up swimming after seeing his condition.

His customers believe that it is really deplorable that he should be selling tea on the streets today.
