West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused the BJP-led central government of "deactivating" Aadhaar cards of residents in Bengal, particularly targeting SC, ST, and OBC communities. In response to this alleged action, Banerjee wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemning the deactivation and announced the creation of a separate card for those affected, along with the launch of the 'Aadhaar Grievance Portal of West Bengal Government' to address the issue. She also emphasized that Bengal will not implement NRC. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), however, countered these allegations by stating that no Aadhaar number has been canceled.
