Mumbai: Reacting to Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has claimed that half of the population of Bangladesh would leave their country if they were promised Indian citizenship.

“If Bangladesh grants them (Bangladeshis) citizenship, half of Bangladesh will be vacant. Half of Bangladeshi will come to India if citizenship is promised. Who will take responsibility? KCR? Or Rahul Gandhi? ”, The minister asked while speaking at the Sant Ravidas Jayanti function in Hyderabad.
