BJP MLA and former minister Vasudev Devnani on Monday accused Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot of "violating" Constitution by denying execution of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in state.

" Congress, along with leftists, is misleading people on this subject and provoking youth. It is a clear fact that law is for giving citizenship to migrants and it will have impact on citizenship of any Indian," he said.
