PM Modi, while talking about CAA at the rally said: "Granting Indian citizenship to refugees has already started under CAA... They all have been living in our country for a long, they are those people who have to suffer because of the partition of the country based on religion. Those who get to power in the name of Mahatma Gandhi but don't remember what he used to say... Congress never cared about these people, because they were not the vote bank of congress..."

Slamming SP and Congress for "spreading lies" over CAA, PM Modi said: "Parties like Samajwadi Party and Congress spread lies over the issue of CAA. They tried their best to burn the country, including UP, in riots. Even today, people of this INDI alliance say that Modi has brought the CAA and the day he goes, CAA will also be removed. I must tell you that nobody can remove CAA."

"Modi has removed their veil of fake secularism under the garb of which they tried to do votebank politics and made Hindu-Muslim fight against each other," PM Modi added, stressing that no one can remove CAA.
