In a significant move ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections, Yogi Adityanath (Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh) announced land ownership rights for 331 Bengali-speaking Hindu families displaced from the erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and 4,356 families from the Tharu tribe. During a campaign rally in Miyanpur village, Adityanath stated that the village would be renamed Rabindranagar in honor of Rabindranath Tagore. He emphasized that these families had been used as vote banks without receiving proper recognition or land titles since their displacement during the 1947 Partition and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Adityanath accused the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Trinamool Congress of exploiting these communities while denying them dignity. He also highlighted the government's commitment to rectify past injustices and provide stability to the affected families, linking the initiative to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The announcement is seen as part of a broader strategy to consolidate support among displaced communities in the upcoming elections.
