Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reiterated the government's strong stance on illegal infiltration, asserting that India's policy is to 'detect, delete, and deport' individuals who do not qualify under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He emphasized that while the CAA provides a pathway to citizenship for certain refugees, those who do not meet the criteria must return to their home countries. Majumdar also highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance border security in West Bengal, where fencing work had previously been stalled due to land transfer issues. He noted that the current government, led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, is committed to completing the fencing along the approximately 550 kilometers of international border to curb illegal activities. The BJP's recent electoral success in West Bengal, winning 206 seats, marks a significant shift in the political landscape, challenging the long-standing dominance of the Trinamool Congress, which secured 80 seats in the same election.
