Aasu, Congress to keep the CAA, NRC pot boiling

The fight against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), demand for an error-free National Register of Citizens (NRC) and implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord for the safeguard of the state’s indigenous people will continue, despite the BJP-led Mitrajot’s victory.
Anti-BJP political parties, including the main opposition Congress, while accepting defeat in the battle of ballots, said they would continue to be vocal for the interest of the indigenous people of the state.
State Congress chief Ripun Bora said, “We accept the people’s decision. But, the fight is not over as far as anti-Assam moves are concerned.”
Meanwhile, All Assam Students’ Union (Aasu) said the movement against CAA, implementation of Clause VI of the Assam Accord and for an error-free NRC and elections are different matters. “A movement can’t be converted to votes all the time because CAA, NRC and Assam Accord were not the only issues,” Dipanka Nath, Aasu president, told TOI.
BJP spokesperson Rupam Goswami said, “CAA and NRC were issues made by the opposition to win elections. But, the election was fought on the issue of development. People understand that development is possible only under the leadership of PM Modi and CM Sarbananda Sonowal. That is why people gave their mandate to NDA.”
