State opposition party plans citizenship drive for Hindu refugees to raise awareness and assist applicants.

- SUPROTIM MUKHERJEE

‘ith only a few months to go before the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is launching a Statewide outreach centred onthe Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019.

The party plans to organise over 1,000 camps to help Hindu refugees from Bangladesh and neighbouring countries apply for Indian citizenship under the law.

Senior leaders describe the drive asa “mass awareness and facilitation campaign” aligned with the Election Commission’s forthcoming Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The initiative is designed to extend legal assistance to eligible refugees while strengthening the BJP’s grassroots contact in districts bordering Bangladesh.

According to party insiders, the CAA camps will be concentrated in districts adjoining Bangladesh — notably North 24 Parganas, Nadia, Cooch Behar, and Uttar Dinajpur — which have long hosted large communities of Hindu refugees. Smaller clusters of camps willalsobe set up across other districts to reach dispersed populations.
