Assam Seesaw over CAA
Conflicting signals are emanating from the BJP and the Congress in Assam over the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). While top BJP leaders have shown commitment towards implementing the CAA, the issue finds no mention in the party’s manifesto. The Congress declared the repeal of CAA as one of its five poll guarantees, but a full-page ad by the party in a Bangla newspaper in the Barak Valley gives any such assurance a miss. Understandably so, as the CAA is widely supported in the Hindu Bengali-dominated Valley. It is also the reason why Sushmita Dev, the Congress’s most prominent face in Barak Valley, has never opposed the law in public.
