Around 40 lakh people in assam have been left out of a draft list of citizens which got released today. This was the second and final draft of the NRC was published today was published with 2.9 crore names out of the total 3.29 crore applicants in Assam. The state’s national register of citizen has been updated for the first time since 1951 to keep an account for illegal migration from neighbouring country of Bangladesh. Responding to the draft Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh added that Some people are unnecessarily trying to create an atmosphere of fear. Meanwhile, west bengal chief minister and trinamool congress chief Mamata Banerjee had openly lashed out at the centre over the Assam’s NRC calling it an attempt to isolate the Bengalis, Bihari and Muslims out of the state. The Officials have asserted that this is only a draft, and no one would be deported or punished based on it. Though there are too many questions raised after Mamata Banerjee’s criticism on the Centre’s vote bank politics. so is BJP trying to polarize its vote bank or is it Mamata Banerjee’s fresh new strategy for her 2019 general election now ?
