No one can stop CAA implementation, says Shah

MP, Nov 2023 : Home minister Amit Shah asserted on Wednesday that the Central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and no one can stop it. 

Addressing a big rally here to launch the BJP’s Lok Sabha campaign, Shah launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issues of appeasement, infiltration, corruption and political violence, alleging she has “destroyed” the state. 

Banerjee has been opposing the CAA due to her support for infiltration, he asserted, adding that a state with so much infiltration cannot develop.

He urged people to throw out her government by electing the BJP in the next Assembly polls in 2026 and asked them to lay its foundation by supporting the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. 

He said, “Give so many seats to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls that Modiji says I have become PM due to Bengal.” 

The Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress won the last Assembly polls by “rigging” but the BJP jumped to 77 seats from zero, he said, calling upon people to end the TMC’s alleged misrule of corruption, infiltration, and political violence by electing a government conducive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agenda of development. 

The syndicate run by the Trinamool Congress, Shah alleged, is not letting huge sums of money sent by the Modi government to reach the state’s poor. 

He cited figures to assert that the Centre’s funding for the state through various schemes has risen many times under the BJP than the Congress-led UPA, of which Banerjee was also a member. 

Lauding the turnout at the rally, he said this indicates the people’s mood and claimed that the BJP will come to power with two-third majority in the state in 2026. 

Turning to the contentious CAA issue, he said Banerjee has been opposing it but it is a law of the country and no one can stop its implementation, which has been in a limbo as the central government is yet to frame its rules amid the Opposition’s strong stand against the law. 

Parliament had passed the law in 2019. https://www.millenniumpost.in/bengal/kolkata-no-one-can-stop-caa-implementation-says-shah-542370
