Dekho, yeh hai ek aisi dastaan jo sirf ek naam ka hi nahi, ek poore desh ke ‘voting system’ ka bhi raaz kholti hai. Farakka ki dharti par ek aisa ‘mukabla’ hua jo aapko hairan kar dega. Congress ka ek aisa candidate, jiska naam voter list se hi ‘gone’ ho gaya tha, usne apne haq ke liye ladai ki, Supreme Court tak gayi, aur phir… jeet gaya! Motab Shaikh ka naam SIR (Special Intensive Revision) ke dauraan hi ‘strike off’ ho gaya tha. Congress ko 2021 mein ek bhi seat nahi mili thi, lekin ab… ab toh Farakka aur Raninagar, dono hi Congress ke naam ho gaye hain. Shaikh ne BJP ke Sunil Chowdhuri ko 8,193 votes se haraaya, jabki Trinamool ka Amirul Islam teesre number par rahe. Lekin sawaal yeh hai—ek aise candidate ka jeetna, jo voter list mein hi nahi tha, yeh kya signal hai? Kya yeh ‘system’ ki khami hai ya phir koi chhup chhap ‘game’?
Kal ki raat, jab Farakka ki dharti par vote count ho raha tha, toh har ek ki saans thami hui thi. Shaikh ki jeet ne Congress ko ek ‘symbolic’ jeet toh di, lekin sawaal yeh hai—kya yeh sirf ek ‘coincidence’ hai ya phir koi bade ‘conspiracy’ ka hissa? Supreme Court ne ek tribunal banaya tha, jismein 19 aise cases the jo voter list se naam ka issue the. Shaikh ka case bhi usi mein shaamil tha. Calcutta High Court ke vakil Firdous Samim ne personally Bichar Bhawan jaakar documents pesh kiye, aur uske baad hi Shaikh ka naam voter list mein wapas aaya. Supreme Court ke order ke mutaabiq, Aadhar card ko identity proof ke taur par maana gaya, chahe woh citizenship ka proof na ho. Lekin yahan par hi ek ‘twist’ hai—Aadhar card ko identity proof maane jaane ke baad bhi, Shaikh ka naam voter list se kaise gaya? Kya koi ‘human error’ tha ya phir koi ‘deliberate attempt’?
Aur phir aaya Raninagar ka scene. Congress ka Julfikar Ali ne Trinamool ke Soumik Hossain ko 2,701 votes se haraaya. Dono seats par Congress ki jeet ne poore West Bengal ko shock kar diya hai. 2021 mein Congress ke liye ek bhi seat jeetna mushkil tha, lekin ab… ab toh Farakka aur Raninagar, dono hi Congress ke naam ho gaye hain. Lekin sawaal yeh hai—kya yeh sirf ek ‘temporary revival’ hai ya phir Congress ki ‘comeback’ ki shuruwat?
Yeh koi aam jeet nahi hai. Yeh ek ‘message’ hai—ek aisa message jo poore ‘electoral system’ ko challenge kar raha hai. Shaikh ki jeet ne sabko yeh sochne par majboor kar diya hai—kya voter list mein naam ka hona ya na hona, kya yeh sirf ek ‘formality’ hai? Ya phir koi aur ‘agenda’ chhupa hai iske peeche? Supreme Court ne tribunal banaya, lekin kya yeh tribunal sirf ek ‘show’ hai? Ya phir iske peeche koi aur ‘truth’ hai?
Aur ab aapko yeh sochna hai—kya yeh jeet Congress ki ‘luck’ thi ya phir koi aur ‘power’ ne iske peeche kaam kiya? Kya yeh ‘system’ ki khami hai ya phir koi ‘conspiracy’?
Jab aap is dastaan ko sun rahe hain, tab aapko lag raha hoga—yeh toh sirf ek election ka result hai. Lekin asli ‘mahak’ toh abhi baaki hai. Kya yeh jeet Congress ki ‘comeback’ ki shuruwat hai? Ya phir yeh sirf ek ‘temporary’ victory hai?
Aur sabse bade sawaal—kya aapko lagta hai ki voter list mein naam ka hona ya na hona, kya yeh sirf ek ‘technical issue’ hai? Ya phir koi aur ‘secret’ chhupa hai iske peeche?
Yeh toh sirf ek shuruwat hai. Asli ‘game’ abhi baaki hai.
