NEW DELHI — Union Minister and BJP leader Shantanu Thakur on Monday claimed that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) would be implemented across India within the next seven days, media reports reaching here said.
“I can guarantee that in the next seven days, not just in West Bengal, but the CAA will be implemented across India,” Thakur said in Bengali while addressing a public gathering in Kakdwip in South 24 Parganas in Bengal, reports India Today.
Earlier, during his speech at a big rally at Kolkata’s iconic Esplanade, Amit Shah had also launched scathing attacks against Mamata Banerjee on the issues of infiltration, corruption, political violence, and appeasement and urged people to dethrone her government from Bengal and elect BJP in the 2026 Assembly elections.
He had also given a clarification on the intended beneficiaries, saying they have as much right to citizenship as anyone else.
In December last year, Amit Shah asserted that the BJP-headed central government would implement the CAA and “no one can stop it”. His remarks were targeted at Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has been staunchly opposed to the CAA.
“Ram Mandir has been inaugurated (in Ayodhya), and within the next seven days, the CAA – Citizenship (Amendment) Act – will be implemented across the country. This is my guarantee. Not just in West Bengal, the CAA would be implemented in every state within a week,” Shantanu Thakur said, acccording to reports.
