The BJP started making inroads in Habibpur in the 1990s when the Scheduled Castes were the first to turn saffron.
For nearly seven decades, more than 1 lakh tribals of Habibpur Assembly segment in Bengalâs Malda district have been waiting for the promise of âliberationâ to come true.
âLiberationâ from poverty, hunger, disease, unemployment, illiteracy and backwardness. This is the âliberationâ that the communists had been promising them for the past 70 years.
Far from this Left promise from coming true, the condition of the tribals have only deteriorated. So much so that an overwhelming majority of the able-bodied among them have to migrate to other states in search of employment as labourers.
