#kmcelection #bjpwestbengal #riteshtiwari LIVE THIS EVENING | Money game in BJP ticket? Why did Ritesh Tiwari keep his name a secret? A new controversy over BJP candidate selection before the Kolkata by-elections. BJP MLA Ritesh Tiwari claims that a former Trinamool councilor from his area has applied for a BJP ticket. Not only that, he and an acquaintance of his have also been allegedly offered money by phone. According to a report by TV9 Bangla, the amount of that offer is 3 crore rupees. But who is that councilor? Why is Ritesh not revealing his name? The BJP state leadership has repeatedly said that priority will be given to old workers and the party is cautious about giving tickets to outsiders. Then why are the reports of applications and recommendations of former Trinamool councilors coming to the fore? Is there any difference between the BJP's public position and the equation of candidate selection within the party? An analysis of the political calculations behind this controversy before the KMC elections. 00:00 - Introduction and recent cash recovery 01:27 - Preparations for bypolls and Ritesh Tiwari's allegations 03:00 - Kunal Ghosh's reaction to BJP's candidate controversy 06:41 - Internal conflict within the party: old vs new 11:43 - Ward-based organization and the equation of bypolls 18:50 - Dropbox application and candidate selection controversy 24:25 - Why is there so much delay in releasing the candidate list? 31:07 - Why did Ritesh Tiwari keep his name secret? 34:08 - Internal conflict and political strategy within Trinamool 38:13 - Conclusion and final remarks A fresh controversy has emerged over BJP's candidate selection for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation elections. BJP MLA Ritesh Tiwari has alleged that a former TMC councilor from his constituency applied for a BJP ticket and allegedly offered money through phone calls. A TV9 Bangla report cited an alleged offer of Rs 3 crore. However, the councilor's identity has not been disclosed, and the allegation has not been independently established. The controversy raises questions about BJP's public position on giving priority to long-time party workers, reports of former TMC leaders seeking nominations, and the party's emphasis on candidate winnability. Why has Ritesh Tiwari not named the person? Is there a difference between the party's public messaging and the internal candidate-selection process? We examine the claims, political context and unanswered questions ahead of the KMC polls. 00:00 - Introduction & Recent Cash Recovery Discussion 01:27 - BJP's Civic Poll Prep & Allegations by Ritesh Tiwari 03:00 - Kunal Ghosh's Reaction to BJP Ticket Allegations 06:41 - Internal Struggles: Core BJP vs Turncoats 11:43 - Grassroots Organization & Ward-Level Dynamics 18:50 - The Drop Box Applications Controversy 24:25 - Delays in Announcing Candidate Lists 31:07 - Why Did Ritesh Tiwari Keep Names Secret? 34:08 - Internal Factions & Political Strategy 38:13 - Final Thoughts & Conclusion #kolkatamunicipalelection #KMC2026 #bjp #tmc #trinamoolcongress #shamikbhattacharya #sukantamajumdar #kolkatapolitics #westbengalpolitics #bengalpolitics #politicalcontroversy #bjpnews #tmcnews #kolkatanews #municipalelections #SomoyAkhon #islam #bengalelection #politicalanalysis #bengalinews #indiapolitics #bengaldebate #breakingbengal #banglasphere #PinakKiBolche #juktitarkosongearkamedia #arambaghtv1253 #prasunacharyajournalist #nationaldialogues #khaborwalasomnath #priyobandhumedia #politicaldaily #abpanandatv #republicbangla #News18Bangla #KOLKATATV #zee24ghanta #aajtakbangla #HT-Videos #ndtv #subratabasujournalist #wbelection2026 #bengalpolitics #bjp #kolkatamunicipalelection #HowrahMunicipalElection #suvenduadhikari #samikbhattacharya #sukantamajumdar #sudipbandyopadhyay #bjpwestbengal #politicalanalysis @bjp @abpanandatv @BJP4Bengal @SuvenduAdhikariBJP @AITCOfficialYouTube @Anandabazar_Online @CPIMWESTBENGALONLINE @IndianNationalCongress @ABPNews @abpmajhatv @wbelection2026
