As campaign reaches a crescendo, Modi reaches out to Matuas, Mamata camps at Bhabanipur

With hours left for campaigning in the last phase of elections in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (April 26, 2026) focused on issues concerning the Matua population and assured that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will assure citizenship to the community of Hindu refugees that has migrated from Bangladesh.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee focused on her constituency in Bhabanipur where she held a road show. She raised several issues, including the deletions of under-adjudication voters from the electoral roll, and targeted the administration that has been appointed by the Election Commission of India (ECI). “Those who are arresting now must think about getting arrested in future. Sin spares no one,” she said.
