In a rally held in Katwa, Purba Bardhaman district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the BJP's commitment to expediting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) for Matua and Namasudra refugee families, promising that the process would accelerate once the party assumes power in West Bengal. Modi criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) for allegedly creating a climate of fear and accused them of harboring illegal immigrants. He stated, 'The infiltrators should start packing their bags; it is time to leave,' indicating a strong stance against illegal immigration. Modi's remarks are particularly significant in a state where the Matua community is a crucial electoral bloc. He urged voters to choose a government that would replace the TMC's fear with trust, asserting that such a change would be vital for a developed Bengal. The elections for the 294-member West Bengal assembly are scheduled for April 23 and 29, with vote counting set for May 4.
