Trinamool and BJP Clash Over Matua Voter Deletions

Trinamool and BJP Clash Over Matua Voter Deletions

The Trinamool Congress and the BJP are arguing over the Matua community's voting rights in West Bengal.

The Trinamool says the BJP promised citizenship to the Matuas but has not kept its word, and many Matua voters' names have been deleted from the voter list.

The BJP says it is helping the Matuas through the Citizenship Amendment Act, but the Trinamool does not believe them.

The Matuas are worried about their future and their right to vote.

Both parties are trying to win the support of the Matua community, which is an important voting group in the state.
