Rahul Gandhi Calls Himself Hindu, Visits Temple Only During Elections: West Bengal BJP Chief

Mumbai: West Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday exuded confidence that the central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

“BJP has a track record of keeping its promises. We had promised to build the Ram Mandir; we have done it. CAA is our goal, and we will achieve it. It is our promise that we will implement CAA. I have complete faith that CAA will be implemented before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections,” Majumdar told ANI.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said many times that she will not allow CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC) to be implemented in the state. According to BJP, CAA and NRC will stop illegal infiltration from across the border.

The CAA seeks to provide Indian citizenship to persecuted minorities of Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi and Christian communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.

The Center has said that eligible beneficiaries of CAA will be given citizenship only after the rules are notified under the law.
