New Delhi, May 9: Mohammad Salim, former MP of CPI(M), commented on the swearing-in of the new government in West Bengal and the ongoing political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. He raised questions about the strategies and circumstances of various parties concerning the political developments in these three states.
On the occasion of Suvendu Adhikari becoming the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Salim remarked that after such extensive efforts, BJP leaders should participate in swearing-in ceremonies. He sarcastically noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is busy with elections throughout the year, making his presence necessary when results are announced. Salim alleged that BJP’s power in West Bengal did not come easily, asserting that it involved long-term political maneuvering. According to him, the initial strengthening of the Trinamool Congress was followed by a series of events that benefitted the BJP. He claimed that forming a government in Bengal involved years of political strategy.
Regarding the ongoing uncertainty in Kerala’s government formation, Salim stated that it is primarily a result of internal issues within Congress and its allied parties. He mentioned that decisions regarding leadership are often left to the high command in Congress, leading to delays and confusion. He further noted that there are various disagreements within the UDF, causing difficulties in forming the government.
In Tamil Nadu, Salim described the ongoing political tug-of-war as more than just political drama, asserting that multiple levels of activities are at play. He claimed that NRIs, big businessmen, and influential individuals from various states are involved in efforts to either form or obstruct the government. He explained that the election results indicate that the winning party did not achieve a clear majority, but the leader of the largest party is receiving support from other parties. Salim also mentioned that leftist parties have extended their support, and the process of gathering numbers is ongoing.
He added that even when a party secures a clear majority, forming a cabinet takes time, but in coalition governments, this process becomes even more complex. Citing West Bengal as an example, he noted that the government started with a limited number of ministers after its formation, highlighting that achieving political balance is not an easy task.
