During a campaign event on Sunday, Mazumdar claimed that TMC candidate Debangshu Bhattacharya would face defeat in Chinsurah if actress-turned-politician Rachna Banerjee continued to be part of the campaign trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Incident:<\/strong> The controversy erupted during a massive roadshow organized in Chinsurah to garner support for Debangshu Bhattacharya. Rachna Banerjee, the popular host of &#8216;Didi No. 1&#8217; and the party&#8217;s candidate from Hooghly, joined the rally to boost morale. However, instead of a united front, the public witnessed a glaring internal rift when Asit Mazumdar openly expressed his dissatisfaction with her presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why the Outburst?<\/strong> While Mazumdar did not elaborate extensively on the specific reasons, his blunt statement, &#8220;Debangshu will lose in Chinsurah if Rachna is there,&#8221; suggests deep-seated friction between the local leadership and the celebrity campaigners. This statement has put Debangshu in a difficult position, as he attempts to balance the party&#8217;s star power with local grassroots sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opposition Takes a Dig:<\/strong> The BJP was quick to capitalize on this public fallout, stating that TMC is a &#8220;divided house&#8221; where veterans are feeling ignored by celebrities. As the polling day nears, this &#8220;civil war&#8221; within the TMC could significantly impact the voters&#8217; mindset in the high-stakes battle of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a startling turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the Trinamool Congress (TMC) camp, outgoing MLA Asit Mazumdar has made a controversial prediction regarding the 2026 elections.
