While pointing finger at Mamta's last tenure, the Union Home Minister also added that the central government will be implementing CAA as soon as the vaccination drive ends. 


“As soon as the vaccination drive will conclude and we become Corona-free, the work of providing citizenship will be undertaken. CAA is Parliament's law, how can you stop it? Also, you will not be in a position to stop it,” exclaimed Amit Shah. 


He further added that his party's 'Parivartan Yatra' is not for changing a chief minister, MLA or minister but ending infiltration and transforming West Bengal's condition for good this tenure.


Addressing a rally in the North Bengal town of Coochbehar, Shah accused Banerjee and her nephew, a Lok Sabha MP, Abhishek of "institutionalising corruption". 


Making the claim at the event that Mamata Banerjee will not be the CM of Bengal after May, Shah made a wisecrack that she too would start chanting "Jai Shri Ram" by then. 


Earlier, CM Mamta Banerjee has said that CAA-NRC citizenship drive will be conducted only over her "dead body".


In December, Shah had said that rules for CAA were in the process of being framed. they were delayed because of the pandemic situation and the matter will be considered once the Covid-19 vaccination starts and the corona chain breaks.
