Telecallers from Varanasi lendweight to BJP efforts in Gaighata
Times of India | 27 April 2026
Bongaon: What looks like a CAA help centre at the Thakurbari premises from outside has been temporarily converted into a BJP strongroom, with young BJP workers from Varanasi calling Gaighata voters, urging them to vote for BJP candidate Subrata Thakur.
For more than nine hours a day, these youths keep calling Matuas, trying to fight the anger around SIR and deletion of names. While trying to highlight the development works carried out by Thakur in the last five years, they have to peddle hope. After all, only 100 Gaighata Matuas have received CAA certificates though thousands had applied for it.
Far away from home, a caller holed up in the first floor of a Matua Mahasangha building said: "The calls have good response. We hope that this converts into votes."
