In this Special Report, the panel discusses the political fallout of suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir launching his new outfit, the Janata Unnayan Party, on December 22. Kabir, who recently sparked controversy by laying the foundation for a ‘Babri Masjid’ replica in Beldanga, claims he will be a kingmaker in the 2026 Assembly elections. The debate explores whether Kabir can split the Muslim vote, a core support base for Mamata Banerjee, or if his actions will lead to a counter-consolidation of Hindu votes benefiting the BJP. TMC spokesperson Tauseef Rehman dismisses Kabir as an ‘opportunist,’ while BJP’s Dr. Shatrupa suggests this might be a strategic game by the TMC to divide votes. Political commentator Shikha Mukherjee questions Kabir’s ability to translate crowds into votes, noting his history as a ‘political maverick.’
