While BJP has promised to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in West Bengal if it is voted to power in the upcoming elections, the law, which caused widespread protests in Assam, found no mention in the party's manifesto for the northeastern state. BJP national president JP Nadda unveiled the party's "Sankalpa Patra" in Guwahati on Tuesday. While the CAA was passed by the Parliament in December 2019, it is still to come into force as its rules are yet to be notified. When asked whether CAA would be implemented in Assam, Nadda said, "The CAA has been passed by the parliament. Therefore, it is to be implemented. It will be implemented in letter and spirit."More Related News
