Babri Mosque Politics Ignites Bengal's Murshidabad Poll Battleground

• Murshidabad's Bharatpur, Rejinagar, and Beldanga seats are volatile due to a proposed Babri Masjid-style mosque.
• Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir initiated the mosque project, now a key election issue after his expulsion.
• The project, supported by AJUP and AIMIM, aims to consolidate Muslim votes but risks Hindu counter-consolidation.
• BJP views the mosque as 'appeasement politics,' hoping it will consolidate Hindu votes in the region.
• TMC fears Kabir's alliance with Owaisi could fracture its minority vote base in Murshidabad, a TMC stronghold.
