Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday mentioned the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act forward of the Lok Sabha polls was a “dirty vote bank politics” of the BJP and asserted that individuals need this legislation to be repealed.
With this legislation, the BJP-led authorities on the Centre has opened the floodgates for the arrival of a lot of poor minorities from Pakistan and Bangladesh into India, he mentioned at a press convention.
“There are 35 million minorities in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The BJP wants to spend the money of our people in settling poor migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh by giving them houses and jobs here,” charged Kejriwal, who can be the Aam Aadmi Party nationwide convener.
He claimed that the BJP stands to realize within the coming elections as poor minorities from the neighbouring international locations settling in India will grow to be its vote financial institution. Implementation of the CAA forward of the Lok Sabha polls was a “dirty vote bank politics” of the BJP, Kejriwal mentioned.
The nation calls for scrapping of CAA, he mentioned and requested individuals to vote towards the BJP if the legislation is just not repealed.
