Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured Hindu refugees in West Bengal that they will not lose their citizenship, while stepping up his attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the infiltration issue.

Launching the BJP's 'Parivartan Yatra' in South 24 Parganas district, Shah said that if Mamata Banerjee had not opposed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), every Hindu refugee from Bangladesh would have received citizenship by now.

Shah also made a string of promises, including the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission for state government employees within 45 days of the BJP coming to power, and filling up all vacant government posts by December.

He slammed the Banerjee-led TMC government over the infiltration issue, saying infiltrators would be removed from West Bengal once the BJP comes to power.

Shah also accused the TMC of practising dynastic politics, saying Mamata Banerjee is only concerned about her nephew Abhishek Banerjee and wants to make him the chief minister.

The BJP has launched the Parivartan Yatras across West Bengal, with several top leaders, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, addressing rallies in different parts of the state.
