BJP's Asim Sarkar alleges recent Aadhaar card deactivations in Bengal predominantly affect Hindu Dalits from Bangladesh, emphasizing their potential support for the party. Amid Trinamool Congress (TMC) claims of BJP's CAA intentions, Sarkar urges backing for BJP in upcoming polls to enforce the Citizenship Amendment Act. UIDAI's scrutiny coincides with Amit Shah's CAA declaration, affecting Dalit-Namasudra communities. TMC counters, calling the move a BJP ploy and advocating citizenship for all voters. The deactivation stirs political tensions, highlighting concerns over citizenship, identity, and electoral strategy in Bengal.
