But those who come here for votebank politics and take away jobs of our youth will have to go back: Narendra Modi

BJP is clear. Votebank politics has ruined India. Left, Cong, Didi- all 3 are not bothered about youth but about Bangladesh infiltrators.

The election campaign by Narendra Modi of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to become India’s next prime minister is ruffling feathers across the subcontinent in Bangladesh.
Under its current Congress-led government, India has been more supportive than most nations towards Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League administration in Dhaka and its contentious victory in Bangladesh’s general election, which was boycotted by the opposition. The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) was left weakened and directionless.
But now Modi has given the BNP a political cause to rally around with the brusque comments he made about Bangladeshi migrants in his battle with Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of the adjoining Indian state of West Bengal and leader of the Trinamool Congress Party (TMC).

Modi’s statements have angered Bangladeshis, aroused anti-Indian sentiments and been a boon to the BNP, according to Zafar Sobhan, editor of the Dhaka Tribune. “The BNP will definitely see this as an opportunity,” perhaps to resume protests against the government, notes Sobhan.
It is not that anyone denies that here are millions of Bangladeshis who have migrated, legally and illegally, across the border into India. There may be as many as 10m Bangladeshis in India today.

This is politically significant in Bangladesh in part because Hasina’s Awami League (AL) is supposed to have a special relationship with India’s incumbent Congress party, based on the two parties’ shared secular ideals and the support given to the AL by Indira Gandhi, the late Congress prime minister and grandmother of current Congress figurehead Rahul Gandhi.
Bengalis came to India from Bangladesh in 1971. This is legal. Will not allow them to touch even one Bengali: Didi at Ranaghat

Hasina’s father, Mujibur Rahman, became the first president of Bangladesh after Indira Gandhi defeated Pakistan’s forces and helped Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) gain independence from Islamabad in 1971.
