Matuas

PM Modi may virtually address gathering of Matua community

A few days ago, BJP MP from Bongaon Shantanu Thakur also held a series of meeting over the community’s grievances on CAA and NRC issues even as he has been distancing himself from senior state leaders, apparently unhappy with their reluctance to communicate with the Centre over the citizenship rights issues.

Matuas decide to move away from saffron party

The Matua vote will be a deciding factor across 40-45 Assembly constituencies spread across several districts including the rural areas of North 24 parganas and in districts like in Barasat, Basirhat, Bangaon and in some areas of Nadia like Krishnanagar, Kalyani, Ranaghat. The differences between the BJP and the Matuas cropped after the saffron party failed to fulfill the promise made by them during the West Bengal Assembly polls earlier this year.
