BJP State President and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi today reacted strongly to Rahul Gandhi's remarks of BJP trying to topple the JMM Congress Govt in Jharkhand. Rahul Gandhi who was in the Capital on Monday has alleged that the BJP tried to topple the JMM-Congress-RJD government in Jharkhand as the chief minister was a tribal.

Gandhi claimed that Dalits, tribals, Other Backward Classes (OBCs) were bonded labourers and their participation was lacking in big companies, hospitals, schools, colleges and courts.

Marandi said that today the prince of Congress is remembering the tribals, Dalits and backward people. But why should he regret now, when the bird has pecked at the fields. Marandi said that Rahul should travel as much as he can but the public has lost faith in Congress.

The BJP president said that Congress considered tribals, Dalits and backward classes only as vote bank and never worried about their uplift.

He said that if the Congress Party was concerned about tribal development, it would not have had to wait for the BJP government to fulfill the dream of a separate Jharkhand state. The Congress party kept bargaining for the movement.

How much the Congress Party respects the Dalits can be seen from when Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar got the Bharat Ratna and who gave it.

Marandi said that due to Article 370, the Dalit community of Jammu and Kashmir suffered the brunt in independent India and the Congress Party should answer for that. For years, the educated Dalit youth of Jammu and Kashmir were deprived of the facility of reservation.

He said that the Backward Classes Commission kept yearning for constitutional status for years during the Congress rule.

Marandi said that despite all this, the Congress Party wants to boast of being well-wishers of tribal Dalits. He said that BJP is moving forward rapidly with the resolutions of Antyodaya. The schemes of BJP government are dedicated to the welfare of tribals, dalits and backward classes, which is being felt by the public.

He said that it is the Congress which opposed the country's first tribal woman becoming the President. Congress leaders hurt the President's honour with indecent remarks.

‘Yuvraj doing Photo Op with people carrying illegal coal’

State BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo posted Rahul Gandhi's picture on social media platform X in which he was taking photos with people transporting illegal coal. Pratul said that Rajkumar of Congress, in the same way runs a black racket of coal by getting illegal coal transported in the coalition government by paying Rs 500-700 per day to the innocent tribal people of Jharkhand. The robbers who run the transport earn billions of rupees. Pratul said that sometimes even for the sake of show off, a case is filed against the poor people who run the transport. It never happens to racketeers. Pratul said that the irony is that whether it is the Hemant government or Champai government, this black coal racket does not stop. It is clear that it gets the protection of the people sitting at the top of power. Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Pratul said that Rahul Gandhi used to be sometimes a porter, sometimes a truck driver, sometimes a tea maker in a dhaba, sometimes a Gol Gappa seller. But today, he is doing illegal work by helping in the transportation of illegal coal.
