Bangladeshi infiltrators must go back, refugees welcome: Modi

Hitting out at Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee for her “paper tiger” jibe against him, the BJP prime minister hopeful said, “Didi is talking so much about tigers, but she is in the service of infiltrators.”

“Had she done (something) for the tigers of Sundarbans instead of doing so much for the infiltrators, then tourists from all over the world would have flocked Bengal,” he said.

 Alleging that neither the Left, Congress or TMC were concerned whether the youths of the country get jobs, he said “they, however, ensure that the Bangladeshi infiltrators get jobs so that their votes are cast in their favour.”

“Our first responsibility is to give opportunities for income to our countrymen and not to infiltrators,” Modi said.  

At an election rally in Srirampur last week, Modi had said that Bangladeshis would be pushed out with their bags and baggages after election results on May 16.
