PM Modi intensified his attack on the issue of illegal infiltration and said that if BJP comes to power, the infiltrators will have to leave West Bengal. He said, “It is time to leave and the infiltrators should start packing their belongings. Those who are helping the infiltrators will also not be spared.”
