TMC Rolls Out Campaign Anthem Ahead of Polls
Zoom Chronicle News:
Ahead of the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday released its campaign song, ‘Abar Jitbe Bangla’. The phrase means ‘Bengal will win again’. The party said the song reflects Bengal’s strength. Moreover, it aims to energise party workers. Sharing the anthem on X, TMC said it would reach every corner of the state. At the same time, the party called it the start of its election push.
Lyrics Emphasise Resistance and Identity
According to TMC, the lyrics “Jotoi Koro Hamla, Abar Jitbe Bangla” convey resistance. In other words, the party claims Bengal will not surrender. Additionally, TMC said the song captures the state’s heartbeat. It also reinforces the slogan ‘Ma-Mati-Manush’. This slogan means Mother, Soil, and People. Furthermore, the visuals highlight Bengal’s legacy. Icons like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose appear. So do Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore. As a result, the song stresses cultural pride.
Sharp Political Message Against BJP
Meanwhile, the campaign anthem takes aim at the BJP. The video shows visuals of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Alongside, the words “Aage nijer maati shamla” appear. The phrase means “Look after your own land first”. Subsequently, visuals show Mamata Banerjee leading protests. Abhishek Banerjee is also seen. Reacting later, Abhishek Banerjee called the BJP “Bangla-birodhi”. He alleged suppression of dissent. He also accused the party of weakening democracy.
Song Release Amid Political Tensions
Meanwhile, the release comes during rising political tension. Recently, the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches in Kolkata. These were linked to a coal smuggling case. Following this, Mamata Banerjee reached the site. She criticised the action. Soon after, TMC leaders staged protests. However, the ED claimed the searches were peaceful. Later, Mamata Banerjee challenged the BJP electorally. She accused the Centre of agency misuse. As campaigning intensifies, Zoom Chronicle News notes the song signals an aggressive poll battle.
