BJP govt in Bengal will speed up CAA implementation, drive out infiltrators: Modi

KATWA (WB): (Apr 11) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday promised to accelerate the provision of citizenship under CAA for Matua, Namasudra and other refugee communities if the BJP came to power in West Bengal, while warning "infiltrators" to "pack up their bags".

Addressing a rally at Katwa in Purba Bardhaman district, Modi sought to reassure the Matua and Namasudra communities -- a politically influential refugee bloc concentrated in south Bengal -- that their future was protected not by the ruling Trinamool Congress but by the Constitution and the CAA.

"I have come to give a guarantee to the Matua, Namasudra and all refugee families of West Bengal. You are not here by the grace of any TMC leader. You are here under the protection of India's Constitution," Modi said.
