On April 26, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at the Matua Thakur Temple in Thakurnagar, North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, as part of his campaign efforts ahead of the Assembly elections. The Matua Mahasangha, founded in the 19th century, focuses on the upliftment of the Namasudra community through education and social reform. Modi's visit aims to strengthen ties with this influential community, which significantly impacted the BJP's success in the 2021 elections, as they influence at least 34 Assembly constituencies. During his address, Modi pledged that eligible Matua Namasudra members would be granted citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a promise that resonates with the community's long-standing demands. However, the electoral landscape is complicated by the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls, resulting in the deletion of around 3.25 lakh names in North 24 Parganas alone, affecting voter eligibility in key constituencies. Modi's engagement with the Matua community reflects the BJP's strategy to secure their support in the upcoming elections.
