Synopsis
TMC is wooing Rajbongshis back to its fold, claiming that the BJP s promise of honouring the ‘Narayani Sena’ is false. It is citing a reply to Cooch Behar district TMC chief Partha Pratim Roy, also a candidate from Sitalkuchi, alleging that the central government had no plans of introducing a “Narayani Regiment” in the army.
The TMC is also targeting the Nasya shek community, which it believes are Hindus from the Rajbongshis who converted to Islam generations ago and form around 9% of the population in the State.
