Slamming the ruling coalition over the influx of Bangladeshi migrants in the election-bound state of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday said that the people of the state would give a befitting reply in the upcoming elections for the 81-member house.
Yadav, addressing a public gathering in the Khalari area of Ranchi, said, “They (referring to the Jharkhand government) even hesitate to say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’.
The true patriots of the country are standing at the borders and protecting the nation from anti-India people. It is our responsibility that anti-India people should not come into the country."
He further stressed that it was the responsibility of the state government to drive away these anti-India individuals. “Though if they (migrants) accidentally come here, it is the responsibility of the state government to drive away these anti-India people. But unfortunately, they (the Jharkhand government) are taking your votes, forming the government, but speaking well about Bangladesh."
Stepping up the attack, the Chief Minister said, "They should feel ashamed; the public is watching, and they will give a befitting reply by voting for the soldiers, culture, and pride of the country on November 13,” CM Yadav added.
Earlier, JMM spokesperson and party candidate Mahua Maji criticised the BJP, claiming that no one would believe them or their manifesto.“No one will believe this manifesto because the public has seen their governments; neither Jharkhand nor Ranchi developed during their time. Trafficking of women was at its peak during the BJP’s tenure.
The central government has not yet given the coal royalty to the state government,” Maji said. The Jharkhand Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in two phases on November 13 and 20, with the counting of votes scheduled for November 23.
In the previous assembly elections in 2019, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) won 30 seats, the BJP won 25 seats, and the Congress won 16. In 2014, the BJP won 37 seats, the JMM won 19 seats, and the Congress won only 6 seats.
