In a concerning statement, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has highlighted a demographic shift in West Bengal. He warns of a 'dangerous phase' due to the declining growth rate of the Hindu population in the state's border districts.
Bhandari, via a video on his official X handle, alleges a correlation between Hindu population decline and illegal infiltrating activities. He references historical data to draw parallels with the 1940s, emphasizing potential repercussions for the state's demographic structure.
Despite a reduction in the Muslim population's growth rate compared to 40 years ago, Bhandari notes a faster decline in the Hindu population growth rate, attributing this to a persistent TFR gap. He argues this demographic trend poses risks for West Bengal's future.
