TMC Unveils 'Abar Jitbe Bangla' Campaign Song, Casting Raids as Rallying Cry

The anthem recasts recent enforcement raids as political pressure to rally regional pride.

Overview

  • The Trinamool Congress released the three-minute video on January 10 with the refrain “Jotoi Koro Hamla, Abar Jitbe Bangla” to headline its election push.
  • Footage weaves in Mamata Banerjee’s protest over ED searches at I-PAC and Pratik Jain’s home, along with clips of TMC MPs being pushed back in Delhi, which party sources describe as a deliberate response to the raids.
  • Abhishek Banerjee accused the BJP of being “Bangla-birodhi” and of stripping citizens of voting rights, alleging misuse of institutions against the party.
  • The song spotlights Bengali identity and icons while flagging issues the TMC raises against the Centre, including NRC and SIR concerns, alleged voter-list manipulation, and delayed funds.
  • Portraying Mamata Banerjee as a protector figure, the track echoes the morale-building strategy of 2021’s ‘Khela Hobe,’ even as the ED has said its Kolkata operations were peaceful until the chief minister arrived.
