'She does t decide who citizen of country is going to be'

Union Minister also alleged that Banerjee was trying to create unrest. According to him, she was going against Constitution by declaring that CAA wouldn’t be implemented in West Bengal. Furrmore, he observed that NRC was a must to throw out illegal immigrants. 

“I think Mamata Banerjee is just trying to create unrest. Problem lies in Mamata Banerjee-s and Owaisi-s spreing misinformation in so-called illiterate strata of people and inciting m against Bengalis in West Bengal. So, Mamata Banerjee’s government is going to be thrown out. And what she is saying, Constitution doesn’t allow her to say that. As a Chief Minister of a state, she does t decide who citizen of country is going to be. It is absolutely prerogative of Central government,” he opined.
