'Mamata Banerjee can't dare to touch CAA': Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) claiming that neither she nor the Congress can dare to touch the CAA.

While addressing a rally at Karandighi in the Raiganj constituency, Mr Shah slammed the TMC government in West Bengal 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.

Mr Shah said the party has set a target of winning 35 Lok Sabha seats from West Bengal and if "it achieves the target, the goons of the TMC would be hung upside down and straightened." Hitting out at the Congress over remarks by its leaders that the CAA would be repealed if they were voted to power, Shah said, "Neither Congress nor Mamata Banerjee can dare to touch the CAA." "Why is Mamata Banerjee opposing CAA? She is supporting infiltration in Bengal but opposes Hindu refugees getting citizenship," the BJP leader said.
