Despite protests from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Thursday said the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act will also be implemented in the eastern state.

CAA has been passed in the Parliament. Now the rules are getting framed. Once the rules are framed, they will be implemented in letter and spirits. And it will be implemented in West Bengal also,” Nadda said when asked how the law would be implemented.Though the law has been passed by the Parliament, Banerjee has maintained that she won’t allow the CAA, which aims to grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Parsi, Jain but not Muslim refugees who came as refugees to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before 2015, to be implemented in her state.

On the second day of his West Bengal visit, Nadda met with violence, which has been allegedly carried out by the ruling Trinamool Congress activists, at Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district.In the videos shared by the saffron outfit, stones were seen thrown at the convoys and some activists were chasing the cars.Multiple vehicles in the convoy, including the SUVs of Dilip Ghosh, Kailash Vijayvargiya, Mukul Roy and Anupam Hazra, were seriously damaged while few media cars also faced the attack. However, Nadda wants the 2021 polls to be contested instead of imposing President’s rule in the state over the alleged lawlessness.

Sentiment is that there is lawlessness here. But that is different. But we keep in mind democratic ethos which Mamata ji doesn’t,” he said.Stating the reasons behind visiting Bhowanipore and Diamond Harbour, the constituencies of Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee, in the last two days, Nadda said, “These two constituencies are the epicentres of anarchy, intolerance, anti-development and lawlessness. So it was necessary to go to these places because these are the epicentres of corruption, intolerance.”
