Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, condemned the BJP’s implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) before the Lok Sabha polls, labeling it as “unethical vote bank politics.” He emphasized that the public desires the repeal of this law.
Kejriwal criticized the BJP government for potentially allowing a significant influx of impoverished minorities from Pakistan and Bangladesh into India, suggesting that it aims to use taxpayer funds to accommodate and provide employment to these migrants.
Accusing the BJP of exploiting the situation to gain electoral advantage, Kejriwal asserted that the party could benefit from the support of the migrants settling in India from neighboring countries.
Describing the CAA’s implementation as a strategic move by the BJP, Kejriwal urged the public to vote against the party if the law is not rescinded. The CAA, he explained, aims to offer citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who entered India before December 31, 2014.
