BJP president Amit Shah said Saturday Bangladeshi migrants are like 'termites' and each one of them will be sent out of the country. Referring to the draft National Register of Citizens recently published in Assam, he said, 'The BJP government brought NRC and prima facie identified nearly 40 lakh illegal immigrants.' The BJP government will pick out each and every 'infiltrator', he said at public meetings in Rajasthan.

'BJP sarkaar ek-ek ghuspaithiye ko chun-chun kar matdata suchi se hatane ka kaam karegi,' he said in Swai Madhopur district's Gangapur, calling illegal migrants 'termites' and warning that their names will be deleted from the voters' list. At another meeting in Kota, he said the Congress treated 'infiltrators' as a vote bank while the BJP is committed to identifying each one of them and sending them out of the country. Shah referred to Congress president Rahul Gandhi as 'Sheikh Chilli', the character who built castles in the air, saying the BJP was set to win in the Assembly polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party chief was in Rajasthan earlier this month as well, as his party and the Congress gear up for the state polls by the year-end.
