'What Problem Does She Have If Hindus Get Citizenship': Amit Shah Attacks Mamata In Poll Rally In Uttar Dinajpur
Amit Shah also appealed the voters to vote for BJP if they want to stop infiltration in the state and give citizenship to refugees.
Hitting out at Mamata Banerjee, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday remarked what problems the West Bengal Chief Minister have if the Hindu and Buddhist refugees get citizenship.
Addressing a rally in Karandighi in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur, Amit Shah said, "I have come to ask Mamata Didi, what problem does she have if the Hindu and Buddhist refugees from Bangladesh get citizenship in India?"
"She is supporting infiltration in Bengal but opposes Hindu refugees getting citizenship, the BJP leader said.The Congress and Mamata Banerjee are against the CAA because they want to help the infiltrators," he alleged.
The Union home minister urged the people of West Bengal to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop violence, halt infiltration, ensure citizenship for refugees, and uphold the dignity of women.
"If you want to free Bengal of violence, stop infiltration in the state, give citizenship to refugees, to stop disrespect of our mothers and sisters as it happened in Sandeshkhali, then there is only one way- make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister," Shah said.
Amit Shah, speaking in Raiganj constituency in Karandighi, attacked Trinamool Congress government over issues of corruption, including the school jobs scam, and asserted that only the BJP can eradicate corruption and cut money culture of the TMC in the state.
Shah said the BJP has set a target of winning 35 Lok Sabha seats from West Bengal.
"It is a matter of shame that jobs were sold for lakhs of rupees. They have taken 10 lakhs, and 15 lakhs as bribes for jobs. It means if you do not have 15 lakh rupees, how will you get a job for your brothers and sons?" he said.
Shah's reaction came after the Calcutta High Court on Monday ordered the cancellation of appointments of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff made through the State Level Selection Test-2016 in West Bengal government schools, declaring the selection process as null and void.
