BJP President J P Nadda on Tuesday asserted that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has been passed by the Parliament and will be implemented ‘in time’. After releasing the party’s manifesto for the Assam elections, Nadda said the law (which does not find a mention in the manifesto) is a central legislation.

The Congress’s claim that they won’t allow the implementation of NRC in the state, if voted to power, may be either “due to their ignorance or they are trying to fool the people of the state”, he added. “I do not want to comment on the Congress thinking but their approach is not only problematic but also dangerous for the state.”
