'When citizens have to move out...': Akhilesh's post on CAA

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has attacked the Centre for notifying CAA rules, terming it as BJP’s game of distraction.

He also said the BJP government at the Centre should also explain why lakhs of citizens gave up their citizenship of the country during their 10-year rule.

Yadav wondered when the citizens of the country are forced to leave abroad for livelihood, what purpose would implementing the citizenship law serve for others.

“When the citizens of the country are forced to go out for livelihood, then what will happen by bringing ‘citizenship law’ for others? The public has now understood the BJP's game of politics of distraction,” Yadav wrote in a post on X in Hindi.

“The BJP government should explain why lakhs of citizens gave up their citizenship of the country during their 10 years of rule. No matter what happens tomorrow you have to give account of ‘Electoral Bond’ and then also of the ‘care fund’,” Yadav added.
