Assembly elections are going to be held in West Bengal next year, for which BJP is busy preparing. Meanwhile, prominent West Bengal Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Tuesday (30 December 2025). At present, Congress is busy finding its ground in West Bengal, while Adhir Ranjan Choudhary is also feeling isolated within the party.

What issues did the Congress leaders discuss after meeting the PM?

Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary raised with him the issue of attacks on Bengali speaking people in Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled states and the problems of the Matua community. Chaudhary, former president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, urged the Prime Minister to intervene to help stop such attacks. He said that there is a possibility of communal tension and violence in the state.

After meeting PM Modi, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary said that he raised the issue of Bengali laborers working in different states and also talked about the problems faced by the Matua community. When asked about the Prime Minister’s response, he said, ‘PM Modi assured that he is monitoring the situation and this should not happen.’

Is there any political reason for Congress leader meeting PM?

When asked about the political significance of this meeting, which is taking place a few months before the West Bengal Assembly elections, he said, ‘It has no political significance. I came to Delhi a few days ago. By chance I got a chance to meet him. Choudhary, who was the leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, also submitted a letter to PM Modi, in which he claimed that in some parts of the country, Bengali speaking people are being treated like infiltrators.

The Congress leader said, ‘Their only crime is that they speak Bengali language, due to which the concerned administration often mistakes them for people from neighboring Bangladesh and treats them as infiltrators.’ He said that many parts of West Bengal have a majority Muslim population and the state shares its border with Bangladesh and due to such attacks in other parts of the country, communal tension is increasing among the communities in these areas.

Sources close to the Congress leader said that he raised the issue of alleged targeting of Bengali speaking people in BJP ruled states. The Congress leader urged the Prime Minister to sensitize all state governments against discrimination, violence and harassment of migrant laborers from other parts of the country.

The issue of killing of workers for speaking Bengali

Jewel Rana, a 30-year-old migrant laborer from Murshidabad district of West Bengal, was murdered after a dispute over beedis in Sambalpur, Odisha. In Mumbai too, two migrant laborers were arrested on suspicion of being illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The West Bengal Migrant Welfare Board has said it has received 1,143 complaints related to harassment in 10 months, especially in BJP-ruled states.

Adhir Ranjan Choudhary had earlier accused both the ruling Trinamool Congress of West Bengal and the main opposition BJP of using the Matua community in West Bengal as a vote bank, while no one is providing any help to the community which is facing uncertainty over SIR.

The Matuas are a Dalit Hindu refugee community who migrated from Bangladesh decades ago due to religious persecution and have a sizeable population in North 24 Parganas, Nadia and parts of South 24 Parganas. The Congress leader had said, ‘A conspiracy is going on to remove the names of most of the Matua community members from the voter list.’

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Maharaj, who reached Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, has given a big and sharp statement regarding the upcoming UP assembly elections. He announced that cow protectors will be fielded on all 403 assembly seats of UP. Not only this, their candidates will also contest elections in West Bengal. He told that a big meeting of saints has been called in Delhi on 10th and 11th March, in which further strategy will be decided.

Shankaracharya said, “Any government running with the blessings of sages and saints is not serious on the issue of cow slaughter, they will reconsider withdrawing their blessings. He clearly said that before talking about creating a Hindu nation, we will have to become Hindus, whereas in today’s situation we are not even able to become Hindus properly.”

Angry over changing the name of PMO

Shankaracharya also appeared angry when the PMO was named ‘Sevatirtha’. He said, “What kind of water is there in the Prime Minister’s residence, in which bathing will wash away sins? People will go there wearing leather shoes, meat will also be eaten, in such a situation the word ‘Tirtha’ should be removed.” He warned that there will be an agitation on this issue and if necessary, the court will also be approached.

Taking a jibe at Congress and BJP, Shankaracharya described the situation of both as husband and wife. He said that whatever BJP does, Congress calls it bad and whatever Congress does, BJP out of compulsion calls it good.

Government cornered on infiltration issue

Raising questions on the issue of infiltrators, he said, “When infiltrators were allowed to come while being in government for 20 years, then why are votes being sought in the name of throwing them out.” He accused the public of considering themselves fools. While calling the SIR correct, he said that if the voter list is being refined then what is the point of objection in it.

Mosque in the name of Babar is not acceptable

On the question related to the construction of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, he said that having a mosque in the name of Babar is not acceptable.

The controversy that started on the verification of the voter list in Bihar is not taking the name of stopping. In Darbhanga, a Congress leader has shared a video, which the opposition is telling an open proof of the collusion of the Election Commission and BJP. The video is from a government school in Darbhanga, where the BLO of the polling station is sitting and next to him, the women’s district president Sapna Bharti is sitting. The Congress leader who made the video questioned the presence of the BJP leader, after which there was a debate on the camera between the two and this video went viral. Tejashwi Yadav shared the video and wrote, “Does any more direct evidence require?” As the dispute escalated, the District Election Officer clarified that the BJP leaders had come to submit documents of their family members, while the BJP woman leader says that she was helping the women of the locality. This year elections are to be held in Bihar and next year in West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took out a protest march in Kolkata and said that those who speak Bengali are trying to snatch their rights by calling them Bangladeshi Rohingya and they are being arrested. Mamta Banerjee said that if the Election Commission demands amendment in the voter list before the assembly elections, it will be opposed. At the same time, BJP says that this is very important to happen. BJP leaders clearly say that “We have only one thing in Bihar, start immediately in Bengal. And the scam delete all the names of Rohingya Muslims in it.” BJP believes that in the coming days, situations like Bihar may be seen in West Bengal.
