Jamshedpur (Jharkhand):Union Home Minister and BJP president Amit Shah said here on Monday that "infiltrators" are cousin brothers of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

"The Rahul Baba says why are we bringing in National Register of Citizens (NRC)? Why are we driving out infiltrators? Where they will go, what they will eat? Why? Are they your cousin brothers?" Shah said while addressing an election rally here today.

"Before 2024, the BJP government will drive out every single infiltrator from the country," said Shah.
