Ahead of Assam Assembly elections, state BJP chief Ranjeet Kumar Dass said that the party will soon implement Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
"There will be no impact (of CAA) on Assembly elections and the people of Assam had earlier displayed it. When the citizenship issue was at its peak, we had participated in the panchayat polls, asking people to question us if any foreigner enters Assam. We bagged the highest number of seats in that election. CAA issue had cropped up even during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, but the BJP succeeded in increasing its tally from seven to nine seats," he pointed out.
Targetting Rahul Gandhi's five guarantees to the people of Assam he said, "Congress can make any promises because they are neither in power nor they will come to power in near future. We are in government and we will again form the government after these elections. We have made promises that can be fulfilled."
Reacting to Gandhi for promising Rs 365 wage to tea plantation workers. He said it is impossible if you will increase wages to Rs 365 all plantations in the state will close and workers will be jobless.
Assembly elections for 126 seats in Assam will be held in three phases starting from March 27 and the counting of votes will take place on May 2. (ANI)
