CAA implementation ahead of Lok Sabha polls ‘dirty vote bank politics’ of BJP: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 13 said the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls was a “dirty vote bank politics” of the BJP and asserted that people want this law to be repealed.

With this law, the BJP-led government at the Centre has opened the floodgates for the arrival of a large number of poor minorities from Pakistan and Bangladesh into India, he said at a press conference.

“There are 3.5 crore 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 Mr. Kejriwal, who is also the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener.
