The Rajbongshi community, a significant electoral force in North Bengal, comprising about 40% of the electorate in several constituencies, has been the focus of political outreach from major parties. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress have highlighted various welfare measures, including the recognition of the Rajbongshi (Kamtapuri) language and the establishment of the Narayani Battalion. However, a ground report from Dinhata in Cooch Behar district reveals stark discrepancies between these promises and reality. A primary school in the Jorabari area operates from a dilapidated tin structure, serving only 10 students for a few hours daily, with no mid-day meals provided. Local residents, including Pradip Burman, emphasize that inadequate funding hampers the school's operation and development. Bangshibadan, a Rajbongshi leader aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), echoed these concerns, noting that while the government provides teacher salaries, infrastructure support is lacking. As elections approach, the Rajbongshi community's needs for improved education and infrastructure remain unmet, highlighting the urgent need for genuine development efforts beyond political rhetoric.
