BJP national vice-president Raghubar Das who reached his hometown after a whirlwind tour of the Assembly areas on Sunday said the party is leading in the electioneering for the first phase of polls and that the State is gripped in a saffron wave.
Talking to the news men he said that the next Government in Jharkhand will be formed by the BJP coalition. He claimed that the voters will give a clear mandate to the party. The BJP led Government will be good administrator.
The seats where polling will be held on November 25 are Chatra (SC), Gumla (ST), Bishunpur (ST), lohardaga (ST), Manika (ST), latehar (SC), Panki, Daltonganj, Bishrampur, Chhatarpur (SC), Hussainabad, Garhwa and Bhawanathpur.
“In most of the 13 seats that will witness polling on November 25 the BJP is maintaining a lead. Similarly like the Union Government a BJP led Government will be formed in Jharkhand. The mineral-rich Jharkhand has long been exploited. More than 50 percent of the state’s population lives below the poverty line. We will fight for better governance,” he said.
The senior leader said that the state has minerals. But most of the iron ore are exported to different states using the infrastructure of Jharkhand while the maintenance cost is bear by the State only. He said that both Narendra Modi and Amit Shah will visit Jharkhand for campaigning.
Das, who is contesting from Jamshedpur East, said that the JMM, Congress and RJD does not trust each other but they are vying with each other to latter form an unholy alliance to form Government. He said that the Congress Party is responsible for the favouring corruption and giving rise poverty to famine in the State.
Just for the sake of rigging funds and resources of the State, Congress leaders conspired to topple BJP Government and made an Independent MlA the Chief Minister.
Das further said that Congress has always acted for personal gains. The BJP wants to educate people and motivate them to favour stable government.
Jharkhand will have a five-phase polling on November 25, December 2, 9, 14 and 20. Counting of votes will take place on December 23.
