BJP Digs Up Congress’ 2018 Rajasthan Election Manifesto Where It Promised Citizenship To Displaced Pakistani Refugees
BJP Spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (3 January) presented the Congress party's manifesto for the 2018 Rajasthan assembly election where it had promised citizenship to displaced refugees from Pakistan.
BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao held up a copy of the manifesto to point at 'Item No. 27', saying: "I've in my hand the manifesto of Congress for Rajasthan Assembly Elections 2018. Item No. 27 of this manifesto relates to governance. They claim citizenship rights in this and there's a promise that they are lying about today."
"That means the refugees, and they promise to give them citizenship rights and rehabilitation of those families," Rao said at a press conference here.
Calling out the Congress, he claimed that the grand old party has been "continuously lying", and accused the party of fooling the people.
The Congress has taken a strong position against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), claiming it was discriminatory. The BJP, through these documents hopes to show the flip flops of the Congress on the matter of the CAA.
