With just hours remaining in the campaign for the last phase of elections in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making a strong appeal to the Matua community, a group of Hindu refugees from Bangladesh, promising them citizenship if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is elected. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is concentrating her efforts in her constituency of Bhabanipur, where she held a road show addressing key issues affecting local voters. Banerjee raised concerns about the deletion of under-adjudication voters from the electoral roll and criticized the administration set by the Election Commission of India (ECI), stating, “Those who are arresting now must think about getting arrested in future. Sin spares no one.” The political atmosphere is charged as both leaders strive to consolidate their support in the final hours before the polls.
