The Lok Sabha elections are ahead. Every political party is making its own promises. The BJP wants to play the same old issue there. The BJP MP from Bongaon and Union Minister of State for Shipping Shantanu Thakur has reiterated again that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will be implemented in Bengal soon.

Speaking at the party's 'Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Sabha' near Janai station in Hooghly on Sunday, Shantanu Thakur said, "I promise that the CAA will be implemented online before the Lok Sabha elections. We don't need a state government.''

With this comment, politics has started in the state, and controversy has also been created. If something has become law, can it be enforced online? This is what Trinamool Congress leaders are saying now. If it is a law, it is so effective for the country. What is the need for so much hypocrisy? The question arises. Besides, if CAA is implemented, what will be the benefit to the people of Bengal? Many are surprised. However, the Union Minister directly said, "Everyone can apply online. Those who came after 1971 can also apply. Hindus, Sikhs, Matuas, Christians—everyone can do this. An exceptional nation. Twenty-seven percent were shared. I will not allow 27 percent to go.''

The Trinamool Congress thinks that the minister's statement is actually the politics of polarization. The matter will be brought into the limelight, sources said. The Trinamool Congress has decided to campaign that state minister Shantanu Thakur is doing politics of Muslim divisiveness from Matua. It is believed that he meant the minority Muslim community by saying that the exception is a nation. Trinamool Congress's Bongaon organisational district president and Bagda MLA Biswajit Das said, "Shantanu Babu has deceived the Matuas day after day. No one believes him anymore. ’
