Addressing a press meet in Chatra, State BJP Spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo today said that the Congress has used poor people only for its vote bank. “First of all Indira Gandhi then Rajiv Gandhi then Sonia Gandhi and now Rahul Gandhi is playing with emotions of poor. Congress has been in power for 50 years but has done nothing for poverty alleviation. Once again with announcement of manifesto the party is trying to dupe poor people with its false promises,” he added.
Shahdeo said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first address in parliament, had said that Modi’s government was dedicated for poor. During past five years the government has done many schemes for poor including Jan Dhan Yojna, Ayushman Bharat Yojna, Ujjwala Yojna to bring them into mainstream of development, he added.
Lambasting hard on Congress party, Shahdeo Said that Congress has shown that it has soft corner for the separatists. “It is attack on the country’s sovereignty that it has brought forward intention of Congress as the party says it will amend the Arms Forces Special Protection Act. The defence forces in difficult condition working for maintaining law and order situation of the Country. Now, Congress wants to dilute rights of defense forces. By this work Congress is insulting defense forces,” he added.
Holding a press meet on Wednesday in Lohardaga Shahdeo said that Congress has shown its profane intention by announcing in its manifesto that it will amend AFPSPA if voted to power. He said that the defense forces working in difficult conditions for maintaining law and order situation of the Country.
“Congress has shown that it has soft corner for the separatists. Congress has slapped on face of patriots as the party is saying that it will remove sedition charges from the category of criminal cases. It seems that Congress doesn’t like ‘Jay’ Cheer of ‘Bharat Mata’ but the party wants people to shout slogans of breaking India,” he added.
Shahdeo said that on BJP is trailing ahead compare to Congress in Lohardaga seat and BJP candidate Sudarshan Bhagat will be elected consecutively third time.
