WEST BENGAL :

Mamata had fielded a total of 42 Muslims and 41 of them have won the 2021 West Bengal elections.

Kolkata:

The newly elected 292-member West Bengal Assembly will have a total of 42 Muslim MLAs, according to the Election Commission data released after counting of votes Sunday.

All but one Muslim MLAs elected to the West Bengal house are from All India Trimnamool Congress (TMC).

The lone Muslim MLA who does not belong to the TMC is Md. Nawsad Siddique who has won the West Bengal 2021 state polls on Rashtriya Secular Majlis Party (RSMP) ticket.

Among the winners is Humayun Kabir, the police commissioner of Chandannagar near Kolkata who had quit the police force and joined the politics few months before the election.

Kabir hit the media headlines after he ordered the arrest of three BJP workers for “Goli Maro…(shoot the traitors)” slogans raised at a roadshow in January 2021.

“None of the BJP MLAs a Muslim”

The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has won a total of 77 seats, none of them is a Muslim.

On the other hand, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has won a total of 213 seats and retained the power in the state for the 3rd consecutive term.

In a worst electoral show, Congress and CPI-M could not win a single seat.

Interestingly, Asaduddin Owaisi had fielded 05 candidates. None of them could withstand the Mamata Tsunami.

Abbas Siddiqui’s Indian Secular Front (ISF) could also not win a single seat though it had fielded candidates in 26 assembly constituencies.

On the flipside, the number of Muslim MLAs elected in the 2021 West Bengal elections are less than 2016 and 2011 state elections when their tally was 56 and 59 respectively.

But on the positive side, Mamata had fielded a total of 42 Muslims and 41 of them have won the 2021 West Bengal elections.
