Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticizes the Modi government's timing of implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), alleging it as a move for electoral gains. He asserts that the focus should be on addressing unemployment and housing issues, not on granting citizenship to migrants. Kejriwal condemns BJP for allegedly prioritizing foreign migrants over local job seekers. He predicts backlash in the upcoming elections, citing opposition from Assam and the northeast. The CAA, passed four years ago, aims to expedite citizenship for non-Muslims from neighboring countries, but its delayed implementation sparked nationwide protests.
