Why not? They are two very separate things. Infact, CAA can be applied without the NRC. There is no compulsion that CAA has to be followed by the NRC.
> CAA along with NRC is an anti-poor, anti-muslim law.
You do know that the current government has done the most out of the past governments for the poor and muslims, right? The Ayushman Bharat scheme has been successfully providing free healthcare to the poorest of the people. The triple talaq law gives muslim women the same civil and divorce laws that the women of other religions enjoy in India for decades. Interestingly, the political parties that are right now going on about minority rights where the one opposing the triple talaq act in parliament. Make what you will of that
Current govt caused the recession.
The damage demonetisation did (especially to the poor) is painfully obvious. No significant upside. The reduction in economic activity was so pronounced that satellite images could pick up on it.
Growth rate tanked. It's now lower than that of Pakistan which is ironic considering how much the current regime likes to use them as a distraction.
They're also responsible for the longest and the most number of internet shutdowns in the history of any democracy (It's still going on).
Horrible civil rights record.
Minorities are definitely not better off. Statements like that are just propaganda.

Another important thing to note about NRC is that it hasn't been tabled yet. It's not clear if the parameters like documents required and the cut-off date will be the same for pan-India NRC.
While NRC is clearly present in BJP's manifesto, there's no clear timeline available for it[1]. The one conducted in Assam took almost six years to prepare and a lot of money (which the Government may not have).
> You do know that the current government has done the most out of the past governments for the poor and muslims, right?
You mean to say 60yrs of governance that came before did less than what the current government has done in 6yrs? That's quite a claim and the onus of its proof, I'm afraid, is rightly on your shoulders. And no, just a single example each of Ayushman Bharat and Triple Talak doesn't count. I demand more: extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You'd probably have to write a book (or rewrite books).
> There is no compulsion that CAA has to be followed by the NRC.
That's not what the ruling party has said. The Home Minister is on-record that NRC would follow CAA and promised to implement it by 2024 [0] to drive-out illegal immigrants, for some convenient definition of an illegal immigrant as defined by the CAA, which is just limited to the Muslims. Make what you will of that.
