JMM-led alliance patronising infiltrators in Jharkhand for votes: J.P. Nadda
The Hindu
The BJP leader accused the JMM alliance of garnering votes by patronising infiltrators and also attacked the Congress, calling them the “most corrupt, encouraging separatists and anti-national forces”.
BJP president J.P. Nadda on Monday (September 23, 2024) lashed out at the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance in Jharkhand, accusing it of “patronising” infiltrators in the state for votes.
Mr. Nadda, who launched the BJP’s ‘Parivartan Yatra’ here, also alleged that infiltrators were grabbing land and expanding their base in the state, reducing the tribal population.
“Tribal population has declined in the state... it has reduced to 28% from 44% earlier. Infiltrators and Rohingyas are grabbing land here and marrying tribals, while the JMM is patronising them for votes,” he asserted.
He also attacked the Congress, dubbing the party as “most corrupt”, which “encourages” separatists and anti-national forces.
“The BJP is the only party committed to the welfare of tribals and Jharkhand. The RJD-JMM-Congress coalition betrayed them in the state,” said Mr. Nadda.
He also blamed the alliance’s “poor governance” for the deaths of aspirants for the recent excise constable recruitment exam in Jharkhand.
