Ranchi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tried to corner Jharkhand’s Hemant Soren government on the issue of Bangladeshi intruders, claiming that infiltrators have snatched the people’s land and employment in the state.
Addressing an election rally in Sarath Assembly constituency of Deoghar district, Modi predicted that JMM and Congress will be eliminated in Jharkhand in the ongoing Assembly polls.
Expressing concern over large scale infiltration in Jharkhand, Modi said: “Jharkhandi pride is the state’s identity. What will happen if it ends?”
The number of tribals in Santhal Pargana has been halved, with infiltrators occupying forest and land and using all the water resources in the state, Modi added.
“These infiltrators have snatched your land and employment. The JMM-Congress government has done every wrong thing to make the infiltrators permanent residents here,” the Prime Minister said.
Modi also attacked the state’s ruling coalition partners JMM, Congress and RJD on the issue of nepotism and said: “These people are only concerned about the future of their families. They keep on thinking about how to do good for their family. But Modi worries about your family. These people have looted your water, forest, land, sand, and coal.”
Modi vehemently criticised the Congress, accusing it of attempting to divide people based on caste. While mentioning many castes, he said that all of them are OBCs, but Congress wants these castes to fight among themselves. “Congress wants the tribals to fight among themselves.”
Modi said the BJP created Jharkhand and plans to develop it. pointing out that the state’s energy resources illuminate the country. Modi said he dreams of Jharkhand to be among the leading states.
He targeted the Hemant Soren government over a paper leak, accusing them of “looting children’s papers and government jobs and giving them to their favourite candidates|. UNI
