State BJP General Secretary Aditya Sahu today exuded party victories in two by-elections held in Dumka and Bermo held on Tuesday. The BJP leader after polling thanked voters of the State for taking part in the biggest festival of democracy. He also thanks the Election Commission and district administration for conducting peaceful and fair elections.
Sahu said, “In both the bypolls, the government was fighting elections on one side while the people on the other side. People voted against the State government as they fail to fulfill promises, anti-development, anti-youth, anti-women, anti-farmer policies of Soren government.”
The BJP leader said that the anti-democracy face of the government has been exposed in this bye-election. There is great outrage in the public against the increasing rape, murder cases especially of tribal.” The BJP leader also condemned the State government for lodging a sedition case against BJP State president and MP Deepak Prakash for his political remark.
Targeting the JMM/Congress government, Sahu said that the State government failed to do any development work in 10 months. He said, “The State government cries on lack of funds, but in reality it has failed to spend even 20 per cent of its budget allocation. The Government has failed to do any developmental work and its primary focus is to cheat people. This alliance is a coalition formed only to deceive and cheat the people.”
Sahu alleged that the ruling party seeing inevitable defeat in bypolls has tried to misused administrative machinery ahead of bypolls. He said, “For strengthening democracy people have voted against the policies of dynastic politics.” State media in charge Shivpujan Pathak was also present at the press conference.
