Mithun Chakraborty and candidate Aparna Sengupta
Famous actor Mithun Chakraborty was contesting the Jharkhand elections when his wallet was stolen on stage. As soon as the news came out, local BJP leaders panicked. From the stage, the BJP leader kept calling for the return of the wallet. It is said that while taking a selfie, the thief stole Mithun’s wallet.
Apart from the wallet being stolen on stage, the question is, why did Mithun, who is no longer active in Bengal BJP politics, come to campaign in Jharkhand?
Mithun da is no longer active since 2021
Mithun Chakraborty joins the Bharatiya Janata Party during the 2021 Bengal Assembly elections. There was talk of making him chief minister but the BJP could not take off in Bengal. The Bharatiya Janata Party won 77 seats and turned into opposition.
When the government failed to come, Mithun became silent. Distance from the party platform is also still under discussion. It is said that Mithun da is retiring. However, Mithun’s political activities were again questioned.
The whole thing is about Nilsa of Dhanbad.
The entire Mithun wallet theft case took place at the Nilsa Assembly premises in Dhanbad district. Mithun is here to support the campaign of BJP candidate Aparna Sengupta. During the campaign, Mitong gave people a lot of fun with his old dialogue.
During this time, Mithun’s famous dialogue “Marbo ekhane, podbe crematorium that is maarenge yahan and girogo crematorium mein” received full applause.
Information about the type and amount of items in Mithun Chakraborty’s wallet has not been revealed. It has not been revealed whether the thief was a professional thief or a BJP worker.
How is the BJP’s track record in Nilsa?
The Nilsa seat in Dhanbad is controlled by Bengali voters. After the formation of Jharkhand, all the MLAs elected from here so far belong to the Bengali community. This time the BJP fielded Aparna Sengupta. His rival is Male’-based Arup Chatterjee.
Arup Chatterjee has been awarded MLA here twice. In 2019, Arup lost the seat by 25,000 votes. However, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, who played an important role in Arup’s defeat, is with him this time.
The Nilsa Congress has about 60% Bengali voters and they play an important role in victory or defeat. In addition, 12% of the population here is Muslim.
Nilsa was once known as the Red Fort, but in 2019, the BJP captured this seat by fielding Aparna. However, the path for the BJP this time seems not to be smooth due to the presence of a grand alliance.
In an attempt to woo Bengal voters, the BJP organized a Mithun Chakraborty rally here, but it ended up making headlines when wallets were stolen.
Vote here on November 20th, results will be out on the 23rd
Polling for Nirsa seat in Dhanbad will be held on November 20. According to the Election Commission, there are 3,31,154 voters in this Assembly who will elect MLAs. A total of nine candidates are in the fray for the Nirsa Assembly.
Like other seats, counting of votes for this seat will only take place on November 23. The Nilsa Congress has existed since the days of Bihar and Left parties are dominant here.
