BJP national general secretary-cum-Rajya Sabha MP, Arun Singh on Sunday attacked the Hemant Soren Government saying that neither the government has the capacity nor intention to fullfil its promises. And to cover their failure the Soren Government is saying that the State exchequer is empty, he added. The Rajya Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh addressing media conference at party office said, “When the youths of Jharkhand were looking at Government with hopeful eyes for their employment, incidents like Burugulikera and Lohardaga were in front of them which is unfortunate for state.”
Singh said that Hemant Government does not have the ability to make reality its big promises and announcements made during election and as an excuse they are misleading people that State exchequer is empty. He further said the JMM and Congress alliance’s one of the electoral promises was loan waiver of farmers, but the Soren Government instead of waiving the loan of farmers, has decided to discontinue welfare schemes such as the Krishi Ashirvad Yojana for the farmers.
Highlighting some of the recent incidents which have brought bad name to health department, Singh said, “Reports of incident where a man was seen carrying the body of a child in polythene bag and death of patient in ambulance which was struck in traffic jam as supporters of health minister Banna Gupta were welcoming minister in Jamshedpur has brought bad name to state.” The BJP leader claimed that there is an atmosphere of fear among the people after the massacre of seven tribals in Burugulikera.
Despite such a big incident in Jharkhand, no assurance was given to the bereaved families from Government side, at the same time Chief Minister Hemant Soren diluted the incident saying that “both the victims and culprits in the Burugulikera incident are people of State,” while in the eyes of law the culprits are only criminals. He also condemned Soren Government for withdrawing sedition cases against Pathalgadi supporters which, he said, has lead to Burugulikera incident. Singh said that while on other BJP is always sympathetic towards people who lost their lives in such incident. He said, “BJP took quick notice to such incidents and also sent a delegation to Burugulikera to find out the main reason behind killings of seven tribals, but the administration with ulterior motives prevented the delegation from reaching the incident site.” He said that BJP MPs from state not only raised the issue in Lok Sabha, but also staged a dharna near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Parliament.
He further said that unorganized crimes have increased rapidly since the Grand Alliance formed the government, now people are reluctant to go to Palamu and other such districts at night, and the main reason for this is the promotion of anti-social elements by the government. State Vice President Shri Aditya Sahu and MLA Mr. Viranchi Narayan were also present in the press conference.
