Without naming Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Union Home Minister Amit Shah alleged that Jharkhand’s tribal CM was instrumental behind “Love Jihad” and “Land-Jihad” in the state due to his “vote bank and appeasement policy”, causing demographic changes.
He alleged that infiltrators were entering Jharkhand, marrying tribal women, obtaining certificates and buying land. While addressing BJP workers at Prabhat Tara Ground in Ranchi during the saffron party’s extended executive committee meeting, he attacked INDIA bloc and Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, for “showing arrogance” despite losing the Lok Sabha polls as “they are unable to accept defeat”.
“Many become arrogant after winning, but this is the first time I’m seeing such arrogance after a defeat…You must have seen Rahul Gandhiji’s conduct in Parliament…This arrogance is not reflected even after winning two-third of seats,” Shah remarked.
Amit Shah claimed that rampant infiltration has led to the shrinking of the tribal population in Jharkhand, and said that if the BJP forms the government in the state, it will bring out a ‘White Paper’ on demography to protect their lands and rights.
He expressed confidence that BJPis forming a government in Jharkhand as the lotus has already bloomed in 52 of 81 assembly segments in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. “After forming a government in Jharkhand, we will bring out a ‘White Paper’ on demography to protect tribal people, their lands, reservation and rights,” he added.
“INDIA bloc and Congress leaders are showing arrogance for indulging in scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore, appeasement, dynastic politics and playing with national security,” he alleged.
“The BJP got more seats in this Lok Sabha election than Congress’s combined numbers in 2014, 2019, 2024 polls,” he said, adding that the JMM-led alliance was one of the most corrupt governments in the country and it was time to show it the exit door.
Shah concluded by criticising the INDIA bloc and Congress leaders for their alleged involvement in scams worth Rs 12 lakh-crore, appeasement, dynastic politics, and endangering national security.
