You verbalized Ganga's dilemma so well hooked. If she was alone she could have easily left BH but she has already experienced separation from Mannu and just wants to keep him safe and by her side hence her still living in BH. Even when she went to the mandir, she had an uneasy feeling.
It's easy to denounce Ganga and state that she is lusting after Jagya but most forget that she has never known what affection is. The little bit of consideration, courtesy and respect she is getting from everyone minus Sumi/Saanchi has left her bewildered, grateful and unable to fathom how to reciprocate. She is still finding her way through all these emotions which is why she was unable to contain herself or understand the sudden deluge of feelings she was experiencing when J and S engagement was announced.
Why is she being made the scapegoat under the pretense of family safety. In the past when Anandi and Jagya had many escapades with the police and other criminals like Heth Singh and Donghi Baba and Shravan then where was Sumitra's fear for her family's safety or unity. She was just a dumb bystander then. All her protestations ring hollow. As much as the defense of motherly love is justifiable, there just is no cohesiveness to her madness. She just detests Ganga because she plain and simple thinks Ganga is not good enough for her son.
