Jharkhand Attn Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on reservation issue and said that BJP is willing to reduce SC and ST reserve seats in the State.


Addressing a press meet JMM Central General Secretary cum Spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said that there is a possibility of census in 2025 after this, delimitation will also take place. “We have expressed this apprehension earlier also that the reserved seats here, for tribals and Harijans, are going to be attacked by them because they do not like the tribals and Harijans of these areas.


Bhattacharya said that BJP is trying to reduce the number of reserved seats in Jharkhand. He said, we have expressed this apprehension many times. He said, whenever we have expressed any apprehension, it has proved to be correct. “We understand their Manuwadi thinking. Their attack will start again on these seats or in these areas. BJP knows that unless they create a rift between the natives and the tribals in the name of religion and region, their conspiracy will not succeed. Their business will not run. This is a serious issue,” he added.

The JMM General Secretary said that the session of Parliament starts from today. It is feared that BJP will discuss how to abolish the reserved seats. He also told the opposition that we hope that the opposition plays a positive role in taking our proposals pending with the Governor to the Centre. He said that JKLM, in which the public has expressed faith, will move in a positive direction with the government, this is also the hope. “They neither like Dalits, nor tribals, nor minorities, nor do they like the youth. He said that they do not like farmers and women either. He said that the Parliament session has also started from today. “In this too, there can be a discussion on the reserved seats of Jharkhand. The concerned officials will have to decide that if the number of reserved seats is reduced in the name of delimitation, it will not be right,” he added.

The Party Spokesperson further said that on November 28, a new Government will be formed in Jharkhand under the leadership of Hemant Soren and this Government will start fulfilling the promises made and it will start fulfilling the aspirations of the people. He said that the opposition that is BJP Leaders are unable to digest the mandate received from the people and the victory of the All India Alliance. He said that the top leadership of BJP, which had imposed its leadership on the tribals and natives here, is also unable to digest this mandate.


Bhattacharya said that the hateful language coming out of the mouth of BJP Leaders even after the results is worrying. He said, while we have been talking about elections in a peaceful environment and elections on issues from the beginning and now there will also be a meeting of BJP. The leader of the legislative party will also be elected in it, he added.

JMM General Secretary said that the areas where poison was spread, the areas where poison was spread, they have been wiped out from these areas as well. He said that out of the 18 seats in the entire Santhal, they have got only one seat. He said that his MLA from Rajmahal also used to raise the infiltration issue in the House even when his Government was in power but his Government believed that there was no infiltration here. But this time due to his stubbornness, the Central Leadership of BJP also started talking about alleged infiltration, he added.


Bhattacharya further addressed the newly elected Mandu MLA of AJSU and said that your leaders were going to form a Government of employment, but they themselves became unemployed but you took steps forward to give them employment, this should be welcomed.
