Suspended by Trinamool after his proposal to build a replica of the Babri Masjid in West Bengal’s Murshidabad, MLA Humayun Kabir has vowed not to let Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee return to power for a fourth time next year.
“Trinamool’s Muslim vote bank will be finished,” he thundered, sounding a filmy threat for Banerjee, “picture abhi baki hai (the climax is yet to arrive).”
Speaking to NDTV a day after he laid the foundation of the proposed ‘Babri Masjid’ in Beldanga, Kabir said he will form his own party on December 22 and try an alliance with Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM.
He vowed to field candidates in 135 out of 294 seats in Bengal in next year’s elections, a move that he claimed would make him a “game-changer” in state politics.
“I will form a new party that will work for Muslims. I will field candidates in 135 seats. I will become a game-changer in the Bengal election. I am in touch with AIMIM and will fight the election with them. I had a word with Owasi,” he said. Neither AIMIM nor Owaisi has commented on this yet.
