Politically motivated: Karnataka HM

The Centre notifying the rules for the CAA is “politically motivated”, keeping the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in mind, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has said.

He said this move shows the BJP’s lack of confidence about winning more seats in the polls and coming to power.

“Today CAA guidelines and norms have been gazetted and published. I feel that it is not proper to comment without seeing its complete details. We have seen in 2019 that it was opposed by many. Despite that if the Central government has come to this decision, it has to be examined and looked into,” Parameshwara said.

He said the central government led by BJP has made several decisions keeping the elections in mind, and everyone knows and understands that this move is “politically motivated”.

“Somewhere the BJP has a fear. Despite them claiming outside that they will win, it seems they have less confidence within about winning more seats and coming to power. So they are making such decisions,” he added.
