A prominent Mandal member, along with 30 families who were long-term supporters of the BJP, officially crossed over to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) today. This mass defection is being viewed as a major setback for the saffron camp\u2019s organizational strength in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defection took place at a local TMC party office where senior district leaders handed over the party flag to the newcomers. The outgoing BJP Mandal member expressed deep dissatisfaction with the party\u2019s internal functioning, alleging that the top leadership has become disconnected from ground-level workers. &#8220;There is no space for loyal workers in the BJP anymore; we are inspired by Mamata Banerjee\u2019s developmental policies,&#8221; he stated during the induction ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the BJP leadership has dismissed the incident as &#8220;insignificant,&#8221; claiming that the exit of a few individuals will not impact their poll prospects, political analysts suggest otherwise. The loss of a Mandal member\u2014who acts as a vital link between the party and the voters\u2014along with dozens of families, could lead to a domino effect in nearby booths. As the election fever heats up, this shift in local power dynamics serves as a morale booster for the TMC and a wake-up call for the BJP to fix its internal cracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the crucial upcoming elections, a wave of defections has rocked the party\u2019s grassroots organization.
