KANKROLI: BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday lashed out at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on the NRC issue and demanded that he clear his stand on whether Bangladeshis who had infiltrated into India should be deported back to their country.

“Congress hopes to protect its vote bank . Ask Rahul ‘baba’ when he comes to Rajasthan — should not the Bangladeshi infiltrators be deported back? Should NRC be implemented or not; should the Bangladeshi infiltrators live in the country or not?” Shah said while addressing a huge gathering here to kickstart BJP’s campaign for the Rajasthan assembly polls.

Shah said the Modi government had initiated the screening for illegal Bangladeshis which Congress is objecting to. “BJP, Modi government does not act on the basis of vote banks. There is an SC order. We will implement it. Hum unko chinhit kar hi chhodenge (We will ensure that illegal migrants are identified),” he said.

Shah said he heard that Congress leaders had raised 40 questions for Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje . “Rahul baba too is demanding to know what we have done in the last four years. People in the country want an account of your four generations,” he said.

“Under the UPA government, Rajasthan was allotted Rs 1,09,000 crore while under Modi, it has been allotted Rs 2,63,000 crore,” Shah said.Shah said the allegation that BJP had diluted the SC/ ST Act was a lie. “It was an SC order and BJP worked towards strengthening the SC/ST Act,” he said.
