Abstract
The electoral victory of the Trinamool Congress in the 2011 Assembly election (followed by the 2016 election) in West Bengal defeating the ‘once undefeatable’ Left Front is surely a landmark political development. But in the entire gamete of affairs, one issue which demands serious introspection is the issue of ideology. This paper examines the peculiar silence of ‘ideology’ in Trinamool Congress’ politics and connects it to the idea of ‘Poribarton’. It highlights the features of Trinamool’s ideology and grounds it in the present political scenario of the state to derive a clear picture of the ideological currents currently in vogue.
