Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's (JMM), on Wednesday, said that BJP announced in its Sankalp Patra that it will help to get back money of people invested in Sahara Finance. JMM questioned the issue and asked why the Central Government after the Supreme Court ruling did not help to get the money returned. BJP is duping people on the issue, the party added.
Addressing a press conference, JMM General Secretary and Spokesperson Bhattacharya said that on the instructions of the Supreme Court, a portal was created in the year 2023 to return the money of the city's investors. He questioned the BJP and said why the Government did not return the money of the investors from 2023 to 24. “What is the reason that even during the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP did not return the money of the investors and once again it has been made an issue in the assembly elections. The Government is not going to return the money of the investors, they are only being given empty assurances,” he added.
Bhattacharya said that the BJP has issued an advertisement in the newspaper to recover the dues from Sahara and this is the first time that such an advertisement has been given in newspapers. He said, more than one crore people of Jharkhand have invested in Sahara and all their money is stuck and there seems to be little hope of getting it.
The party General Secretary said, as per the order of the Supreme Court, SEBI was asked to give Rs 5,000 crore to CRCS and all the claimants were asked to apply on the web portal to get their returns. He alleged that Amit Shah became the Home Minister in 2019 and in 2021 he was made the Cooperative Minister and from here the game started.
Bhattacharya said that eating up Sahara's money is Modi's guarantee. “I want to say in clear words that all investors should know that the advertisement given in the newspaper is the black truth. It can be said that not a single penny will be returned to the investors. Gujarati brothers are eating up all the money. Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi, Lalit Modi all have connections with Gujarat. BJP is doing drama here. Why would the Home Minister take charge of the Ministry of Cooperation, because it was a matter of Rs 5000 crore,” he added.
The party Spokesperson said that we will enter the house of BJP and bring back Sahara's money and after Hemant Soren comes to power, this loot will stop and the people of Jharkhand will get their hard earned money back.
