NDA's Precision Strike Set to Rock Bengal

India’s elections are like watching a suspense thriller where the ending is already written, yet the characters act as if the script is a mystery. Take Bihar. He is going to lose. He is going to lose. And yet, he will keep going, like a weary actor on a stage, reciting lines nobody listens to anymore. But the results? Ah, those we already know. The real story, the long-term drama, is what concerns me. Because in Bihar, in that metaphorical “factory,” BrahMos missiles are being manufactured, not literally, of course, but politically, and they will land, with precision, in Bengal. The question is not who dances at the wedding but where the missiles fall.

Let the small people chatter. Let them play their drums, their trumpets, and their bands. Let them wave their flags. The groom and bride, the real players, are what matter. When the counting happens on November 14, the picture will become clear. Until then, the rest are mere background noise, and, honestly, they deserve their little moment of theatre.

Seat-sharing? Don’t make me laugh. I have no interest. NDA is set to cross 150 seats. If it touches 180, then Bengal’s political equilibrium will wobble like a cheap chair under Mamata Ji. My current assessment: her chair will shake. Who wins what in Bihar? It’s trivial. Even if Nitish wins 105, 25 could be BJP. Chirag? Give him 30, and 10 could still belong to BJP. Names mean nothing. Shakespeare understood this centuries ago: what’s in a name? The reality, not the labels, is what counts. Maharashtra has taught us this lesson, eight MLAs shifted; six were Ajit Dada’s BJP men. The same could happen here.

The RSS, not the BJP, is the architect of this grand plan. The 243 seats? Decided three months ago. BJP can argue, haggle, show theatrics, who cares? The RSS is playing chess, not checkers. I’ve been observing carefully, poring over YouTube videos from Bihar. BrahMos is not a toy. When it hits, it hits the pinpoint. But the preparations began months ago, in August. And it’s not about party, it’s about the NDA. Whoever brings the candidates, whoever waves the flags, the end goal remains: NDA triumphs, 150 to 180 seats. Everything else is bonus.

After Bihar, the noise will escalate. Why? Because West Bengal’s elections will arrive like a roaring storm with barely any time to prepare. Mamata Ji has already started shrieking. Her recent press briefing was audacious: as Chief Minister, she threatened not the Election Commission but the Central Government, challenging the constitutional process itself. She claims that SIR in Bengal will unleash riots, that she cannot control the violence. A threat, thinly veiled in the language of office.

And Amit Shah? Calm, methodical, reminding everyone that fake voters and intruders will be removed. The Central Government and Election Commission chose to use Bihar as a safety valve, a pressure release. Noise, petitions, press conferences, allegations - Mahua Moitra filing a petition — everything served to let off steam.

Turnout in Bihar 2020? 58.7%. Why? Millions of voters either didn’t vote, passed away, moved, or had dual addresses. Naturally, the percentage drops. In Bengal, turnout hovers around 80%. This time in Bihar, more actual voters will vote. In Bengal, removal of fake voters could create a reverse scenario, with 10 to 15 million purged from the rolls — Rohingyas, Bangladeshis, intruders. The uproar will be deafening. Mamata will scream; the rest will add their chorus.

And the so-called “independent alliance”? Disunited, ineffectual, a mere shadow. Bihar has shown this; Bengal will be no different. Rahul Gandhi’s absence in Patna rallies? Symbolic. When SIR hits Bengal, the full spectacle of independent alliance forces will be on display. A political opera, raw and unfiltered.

In short, elections are theatre, elections are war, elections are missiles without explosives — BrahMos waiting for the push. And in the midst of it all, the small people dance, the bands play, and the great game marches inexorably toward its inevitable conclusion.
