KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress and the BJP may have fought bitterly against each other in the West Bengal assembly election, but they jointly did one thing, though unwittingly.
The two parties have whitewashed a common rival, the Congress, from its longtime strongholds of Murshidabad and Malda districts.
The Congress, which had held its sway in these two Muslim majority districts during the Left Front rule of 34 years and the following 10 years of the TMCs reign since 2011, has not been able to open its account in this election.
For Mamata Banerjee to create a Congress-mukt Bengal, it is imperative she establishes her hegemony in Murshidabad, the land of the nawabs. And the 2021 Assembly polls provides her with that opportunity when 11 seats in the district votes on Thursday.
In 2011, the year of poribartan , Murshidabad, with a 68 per cent Muslim population, sided mostly with the Congress. Mamata could win only one seat.

Mamata handed over the reins of Murshidabad district to her then trusted aide, Suvendu Adhikari, in 2015.
Dissension within the Khan Chowdhury family had made it easier for Mamata to make inroads in neighbouring Malda. Incidentally, the rise of the BJP in Malda also coincides with the weakening of the Congress and the CPM in the district.
