Kerala had witnessed massive protests by CPI(M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF, seeking to withdraw the CAA, describing it as "discriminatory" and "anti-Muslim".

As the campaign for the Kerala assembly poll entered its crucial phase, the BJP and CPI(M) today raked up the issue of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) with the BJP pledging to fulfill its promises and the Left declaring that the controversial law will not be implemented in the state. Kerala had witnessed separate massive protests by CPI(M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF, seeking to withdraw the CAA, describing it as "discriminatory" and "anti-Muslim". Senior BJP leader and Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the party will implement the promises made by it to the people during elections. Addressing an election meeting at the Puthuppally Assembly constituency in Kerala's Kottayam district, Rajnath Singh said the BJP had made promises that a party-led government at the Centre would abrogate Article 370, enact Citizenship Amendment Act and bring law against triple talaq to protect the marriage of Muslim women.
