Mamtabala Thakur and Madhuparna Thakur are also involved in the controversy. Impact on the power of Bengal. Matua community broke out in Bengal. Matua Society has always been the key to power in the politics of West Bengals. This is why there is a direct competition between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) regarding this community. But now a split has emerged in the Matua family itself. BJP MLA Subrata Thakur has accused his younger brother and Union Minister Shantanu Thakur of having a disturbing cabinets and “Matua card”. It is considered a headache for BJP and political lifeline for Mamta Banerjee. Subrata Thakur says that real beneficiaries still do not receive facilities in terms of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He claims that Shantanu uses religious sentiments politically and that people are deceived every day. On the other hand, Shantanu Thakur described these allegations as inspired by political jealousy and said that subata prepared to turn to TMC in frustration that he did not become a minister. He clearly said that the Matua society is fully with him and that he only works for the well -being of society. What kind of allegations subata did not stop here. He claimed that Shantanu captured the Harichand-Guruchand Temple and only gave admission to his supporters. This is why he met his aunt, TMC -LP Mamataabala Thakur and sister, TMC Mla Madhuparna Thakur on Saturday. The agenda of discussion was that Matua protected and that the temple prevented them from grabbing. Family is also divided on this dispute. While Mamataabala and Subrata stand against Shantanu, Father has defended Manjulkrishna Thakur son Shantanu. He said lies and rumors are spread, while Shantanu is constantly working hard to ensure the rights and identity of real opinions. Why do the headache experts for the BJP believe that this dispute can become a headache for the BJP? Because the role of the Matua society in Bengal politics is decisive and in the 2019 Sabha election, the votes of this community gave the BJP an unexpected lead. But now TMC can get political benefits from the rift of the family, which has long been trying to strengthen his grip in the Matua society. How big voice bank? The Voting Bank of the Matua community is considered the most important in Bengal politics. This community associated with Namshudra Hindus is about 17-20% of the population of the state and about 1.5 crore voters fall below. They have the largest presence in districts such as Nadia, North and South 24 parganas. It is estimated that Matua voting directly affects the meetings of 30-45, so that both BJP and TMC parties emphasize it in each election. How much did BJP or TMC get? In the 2019 Sabha election, BJP dominated about 41.5% votes in Matua, while TMC received about 43% of the vote. After this, the BJP strengthened its campaign among this community regarding the CAA (Citizenship Amendement Act). At the same time, in the 2021 election, BJP won about 28 seats in the regions of Matua influence, while TMC won 21 seats. The path of power determines which community will tend to the Matua voting bank, it decides the way of power in Bengal. While the BJP is trying to connect them to the promise of citizenship, Mamata Banerjee tries to assure her that TMC is the right patron of her interests. This is why the entire election math of Bengal determines the direction of this community. About author Gyanendra Mishra, Mr. Gyanendra Kumar Mishra, is associated with hindi.news18.com.
