Agnimitra Paul, a BJP MLA from West Bengal, claimed during an election rally that the JMM and Congress have settled Bangladeshi infiltrators and Rohingyas in Jharkhand. She says that Hindus have become a minority in several regions of West Bengal due to the influx of these infiltrators. She states that the demography of the state has changed, alleging that Bangladeshi migrants are marrying local Adivasis and taking over their properties.
