Varsha Gaikwad Challenges BJP Leadership on Illegal Immigration Issue

Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad criticized the BJP for the issue of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, challenging BJP leaders to hold their party accountable. She questioned the BJP's focus on national security and claimed that issues like LPG shortages are being ignored in favor of attacking the opposition.

In a vocal critique, Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad accused the BJP-led governments at both the Centre and Maharashtra of being responsible for the persistent issue of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.

Gaikwad challenged Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde, a BJP member, urging her to demand accountability from senior party leaders, rather than blaming the Congress. She asserted that the responsibility lies with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Highlighting concerns over national security and other pressing issues like LPG shortages, Gaikwad urged the BJP to stop deflecting blame and address the root causes.
