Now, in a dramatic twist, the mother of the deceased postgraduate doctor has expressed her desire to join the electoral fray. Speaking to the media, she claimed that she intends to contest the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections as a BJP candidate from the Panihati constituency. While her name was missing from the BJP&#8217;s second list, expectations of a major surprise in the third list are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A public opinion poll conducted on journalist Suman De\u2019s YouTube channel and other social media platforms asked whether her candidacy would yield a &#8216;dividend&#8217; for the BJP. The response was overwhelming: 67% of participants voted &#8216;Yes&#8217;, believing her entry would significantly boost the party&#8217;s prospects. Meanwhile, 29% disagreed, and 4% remained undecided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari had previously marched alongside the parents during the Nabanna Abhiyan. As the state gears up for the polls, the question remains\u2014will the emotions of the RG Kar movement translate into votes on May 4? If Abhaya\u2019s mother officially joins the race, it could be the biggest game-changer in Bengal&#8217;s political history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RG Kar incident proved that mass movements can shake the foundations of power.
