Lok Sabha election 2024: These groups have been seeking the CAA for a long time. With the BJP fulfilling its 2019 poll promise of implementing the CAA, the votes may swing in its favour.
Krishna Kirtania, a resident of North 24-Parganas’ Gaighata, is unsure about whom to vote.
A member of the Matua community, Krishna had voted the BJP like most others in his community in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Early on Sunday, Krishna visited Thakurbari, the headquarters of the Matua sect in North 24-Parganas’ Thakurnagar, in search of clarity.
He spoke through the day with both factions of the Thakur family one owing allegiance to Trinamul and the other to the BJP. The members of the family are direct descendants of Harichand Thakur, the founder of the Matua sect. The area votes on April 22.
