The Hindu  

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 13 said the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act ahead of the Lok Sabha polls was a “dirty vote bank politics” of the BJP and asserted that people want this law to be repealed. The BJP wants to spend the money of our people in settling poor migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh by giving them houses and jobs here,” charged Mr. Kejriwal, who is also the Aam Aadmi Party national convener. He claimed that the BJP stands to gain in the coming elections as poor minorities from the neighbouring countries settling in India will become its vote bank. Implementation of the CAA ahead of the Lok Sabha polls was a “dirty vote bank politics” of the BJP, Mr. Kejriwal said.
