WEBDESK: In yet another disturbing incident from India, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has strongly condemned the Modi led BJP government for the ongoing exploitation of Bengali labourers in the national capital, Delhi.
The incident took place in Jai Hind Colony, Vasant Kunj an area mostly populated by Bengali labourers working in Delhi’s unorganised sector. According to reports, these poor workers faced state-backed persecution, including sudden cuts to water and electricity supplies, seizure of electric meters, and blocking of private water tankers.
Mamata Banerjee expressed deep concern over this brutal crackdown. In a statement on social media, she said,”“I am extremely disturbed by the reports from Jai Hind Colony. How can a democratic country deny its own people water, shelter, and electricity?”
She accused the BJP government of systematically targeting Bengali labourers in several states, treating them like intruders in their own land. Banerjee pointed out that while over 1.5 crore migrant workers live with dignity in West Bengal, Bengali labourers in BJP ruled states are openly harassed and persecuted.
Azaad Research Desk: A Wider Conspiracy Against Bengali Labourers
According to findings from Azaad Research Desk, what happened in Jai Hind Colony is not an isolated event. It’s part of a dangerous and organised campaign by the RSS-BJP alliance. The deliberate denial of basic services to a vulnerable Bengali labourer community is aimed at weakening and intimidating them.
Azaad Research warns this is not about routine law and order, but about a sinister agenda of ideological cleansing. The BJP’s long-standing strategy of marginalising minorities has now extended beyond religious lines to include linguistic and cultural minorities such as Bengali labourers, Adivasis, Tamils, and others who don’t fit the party’s narrow “Hindi-Hindu-Hindustan” vision.
BJP’s anti-Bengali hate campaign exposed in Delhi
Mamata Banerjee further warned that this anti-Bengali policy is rapidly spreading to other BJP ruled states. Reports of similar harassment of Bengali labourers have surfaced from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh all carried out under the false pretext of “security” and “order”.
Azaad Research Desk believes this is no longer just state abuse but a nationwide campaign of ethnic hatred and cultural hostility. India’s democratic map is being redrawn — not on paper, but in people’s lives, through systematic denial of rights and human dignity.
If this injustice continues, entire communities of Bengali labourers and other minorities could be pushed to the margins of society, stripped of their rightful place in the democratic process.
