<h1>New Janata Unayan Party launch aims to mobilise minority voters and reshape assembly seat contests, potentially splitting a voting bloc</h1> Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir has announced a new political formation, the Janata Unayan Party, and indicated an intention to contest a large number of assembly seats while exploring alignments with other parties; this is described as a pre-election attempt to mobilise minority voters and potentially fragment an established voting bloc, with any consequence confined to electoral competition rather than any stated legal or regulatory change. The report characterises prior religion-centred mobilisations and parties as failing to translate rally support into seat outcomes due to limited statewide organisation, weak vote-transferability, and strategic voting to prevent a BJP victory, resulting in historically stable minority voting patterns at polling time.
