    Mamata Banerjee Accused Modi Government of Delinking Aadhar of Bengal Citizens

    Until now there is no data regarding the number of people whose Aadhar cards are deactivated by the BJP-led central government. But the action of BJP government without prior information and investigations seems fishy just before Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

    Mamata Banerjee took to X, complaining about the worrisome situation in West Bengal where the chief minister also shared a copy of a letter written to Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India.

    “Be aware, they (BJP-led Centre) are deactivating Aadhaar cards. Several Aadhaar cards have been deactivated in many districts of Bengal. They (BJP-led Centre) are delinking Aadhaar cards so that before polls people do not get benefits of Lakshmi Bhandar through banks, free ration,” the chief minister said while speaking at a public distribution programme in Birbhum district. 

    What happens after your Aadhar Card is deactivated?

    Since after Modi government came in power it had been trying to implement Aadhar Card on mostly all of the services in India irrespective of private or public schemes. Narendra Modi criticized the Congress led government back in 2013 when he was chief minister of Gujarat. Pointing out various drawbacks and clauses in the biometric based Aadhar Card.

    Modi has criticized the Aadhar to a level of calling it unconstitutional. Check the video of 26 Sep, 2013 where Modi in his speech has criticized the government of it’s aadhar initiatives. But now Aadhar Card is implemented on every schemes and service across India. If someone’s Aadhar Card deactivates then they might have to face the following problems

    • Access to welfare and social facilities will be stopped on immediate basis
    • Voter ID is linked with Aadhar Card, deactivation may lead to suspension of voting rights
    • Losing identity proof as an Indian
    • Losing banking services and financial services
    • Chances of name not being present in NRC (when implemented)
