A BJP team comprising former Chief Minister Raghubar Das and State BJP president Deepak Prakash on Friday visited the house of BJP ST Morcha rural president late Jitram Munda at Pundag village under Ormanjhi block. Munda, was shot dead by unidentified bike-borne assailants on the outskirts of state capital Ranchi on late Wednesday evening. State BJP president condemning the incident demanded CBI probe over the incident.
The BJP leaders consoled the bereaved family members. Former Chief Minister Raghuabr Das targeting the state government said that ever since the JMM/Congress government came to power in State, there has been an atmosphere of fear and anarchy in State. “The Government has lost control over criminals as the law and order situation in the State has deteriorated. The main reason behind the falling law and order situation in the state is that the Government is busy with its appeasement politics.” “Ministers, MLAs and officials are busy in appeasement politics,” added Das.
The former CM comparing the law and order situation with his tenure said, “During our time criminals used to hide, but today there is complete lawlessness as criminals are roaming freely as if they have received Government patronage.”
The former CM alleged that like neighbouring State Bengal, Opposition leaders mainly from BJP are targeted. “The BJP will not tolerate this. The party will stage an agitation if the killers of Jitram Munda are not arrested. The party stands with the family of the late Munda in this distress time,” added Das.
BJP state president Deepak Prakash also visited the Pundag village. Prakash condemning the incident said that the party has taken this incident very seriously. Late Jitram Munda was a promising talented tribal leader of the party. His untimely death has led to a great loss to the family as well as the party. The party stands with the bereaved families in this hour of grief.
He said a delegation of the party would soon meet the DGP to press for the arrest of the criminals. He said the law and order system of the state has completely collapsed. BJP leaders and workers are being targeted and killed in the State.
They are beaten with sticks for peaceful agitation in a democratic way. Fake FIRs are being made against party workers. No one is safe in the state, from common to special.
