West Bengal Assembly polls: Matua first family split deepens battle in Bagda, Gaighata as SIR jolts BJP bastions

In West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, the election in Matua strongholds Bagda and Gaighata has taken a different turn. The battle now involves members of the divided Matua first family, including brothers, wives, and cousins contesting from rival camps. This has stirred anxieties among refugee Hindus who once voted together, originally from East Pakistan and migrated to India during the Partition.
