Incidentally, the ruling party in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress (TMC) is against the implementation of CAA. Both the BJP and the TMC are trying to  impress the Matua communities who have significant votebank in West Bengal particularly in the North 24 Parganas district. However, these two political outfits are at loggerheads over the implementation of CAA.

With this development, the state president of Bharatiya Janata Party Sukanta Majumdar is all set to visit Thakurnagar on Monday. However, Majumdar , has described the visit as a courtesy one. But sources close to the saffron outfit has revealed that political discussions might take place in that meeting.
