Bangladeshi migrants are termites, says Amit Shah

BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday said Bangladeshi migrants were like "termites" and each one of them would be struck off the electoral rolls.

Referring to the draft National Register of Citizens recently published in Assam, he said, "The BJP government brought NRC and prima facie identified nearly 400,000 illegal immigrants." The BJP government will pick out each and every "infiltrator", he said.

Shah was speaking at a public meeting in Sawai Madhopur district's Gangapur before heading for another event in Kota.

The BJP chief was in Rajasthan earlier this month as well as his party and the Congress gear up for the Assembly elections by the year-end.

The BJP government in Rajasthan is like the unshakeable "Angad ka Paon", he said referring to a character in Ramayana whose foot even Ravana could not move.

The Congress cannot do any good for the country as that party has neither a leader nor a policy, he said.

Calling Rahul Gandhi “Rahul Baba”, Shah said while he was demanding an account of the work done by the BJP, the people wanted him to tell them what the four generations of his own family have done.

He said Rajasthan was a `Bimaru' state during the Congress rule but Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje had worked to bring in progress.

He said both the central and the state governments had initiated development projects.
