NEW DELHI: Dubbing Mamata Banerjee “U-turn didi”, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha president Poonam Mahajan on Friday said BJP will “expose” the West Bengal CM’s “doublespeak” at a rally in Kolkata on August 9 where party chief Amit Shah will be the key speaker.

“The TMC chief had once expressed concern in Parliament over the presence of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in West Bengal during Left rule in the state. But she has changed her stance. We should rather call Banerjee ‘U-turn didi’ and not Mamata didi,” Mahajan said. She recalled that Banerjee was aggressive against foreign infiltrators in 2005 and had sought a debate in Lok Sabha .

Shah has described the issue as one involving national security and asserted that the NRC would be implemented in Assam to the last full stop. West Bengal BJP leaders have demanded a similar NRC in the state, claiming that the presence of illegal immigrants there was at a much larger scale.
