Arabul Islam has quit the Trinamool Congress. Political observers believe that this potential defection by Arabul could radically alter the political landscape of South 24 Parganas. Alongside Arabul Islam, intense speculation has also begun regarding the potential departure of Kaiser Ahmed—another influential leader from Bhangar—from the party.
As the drums for the 2026 Assembly elections begin to sound, the politics of Bhangar has taken a dramatic turn. Severing a relationship spanning several decades with the Trinamool Congress, Bhangar-based leader Arabul Islam is poised to join the Indian Secular Front (ISF). According to sources, he is scheduled to visit Furfura Sharif today to hold a final meeting with the top leadership of the ISF. Political circles are of the opinion that this potential switch by Arabul could fundamentally reshape the political dynamics of South 24 Parganas.
