The political landscape of Siuri witnessed an extraordinary and highly emotional moment on Friday morning, highlighting a deep-seated rift within the families of the ruling party’s workers. During his door-to-door campaign in Ward 18 of Siuri Municipality, BJP candidate Jagannath Chattopadhyay was approached by Shantarani Saha, the mother of the local TMC Booth President, Rabi Saha. To the utter shock of onlookers, the elderly woman broke into tears and began venting her frustrations against the current state government.

Holding the hands of the BJP candidate, Shantarani Devi expressed her dissatisfaction with the TMC administration, alleging a lack of development and neglect of the common man’s woes. This public outburst from a family member of a dedicated TMC operative has caused significant embarrassment for the ruling party. The video of the incident, showing her intense grief and anger, has quickly gone viral on social media, becoming a focal point of the ongoing Assembly Election discourse.

Attempting to save face, the TMC Booth President Rabi Saha dismissed his mother’s actions, claiming she was “mentally unstable” and unaware of her words. However, the BJP camp was quick to seize the opportunity, stating that her tears represent the genuine suffering of the people of Bengal who feel betrayed even within their own households. As the election fever grips Siuri, this incident of a “mother vs son” political divide has sent ripples through the voter base, raising questions about the inner stability of the grassroots TMC leadership.
