Kolkata Airport makes history by welcoming first Giant Airbus Beluga XL
Campaigning for BJP's Bongaon candidate Shantanu Thakur, Amit Shah asserted that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cannot stop the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) since it is under the jurisdiction of the central government.
Shah explained that the CAA will expedite Indian citizenship for minorities from three neighboring Islamic countries who fled due to religious persecution. "Didi is lying. No one will face any problem due to CAA. Everyone will get citizenship. This is PM Modi's guarantee," Shah stated at a rally in Bongaon.
"Didi only practices vote bank politics. She makes infiltrators citizens illegally," he further added.
Of the 380 seats including 18 in West Bengal that voted in the four of the seven-phase elections, Mr Shah said PM Modi has achieved absolute majority by making the BJP win 270 seats. "The fight ahead is to cross 400, the moment BJP wins 30 seats, it's over for Mamata Didi," he added.
