Just ahead of an important meeting scheduled to take place in Delhi on December 10 comprising parties in the anti-BJP camp, Chief Minister Raghubar Das lashed out at them terming them a club of cheaters.
He took both major factions of the grand alliance- Congress and JMM- on target who have been eyeing to present an alternate before the electorates during 2019 polls taking JVM, RJD and the Left parties along.
Addressing a jan chaupal at Ranbahiyar village of Littipara Assembly of Gooda district, considered the strongest bastion of the JMM, the Chief Minister blamed the parties for running organised loot in the name of coalition since Jharkhand’s formation.
“Congress has looted the State the most. Whenever any Government would take few strides they used to pull that down! Congress did this with Madhu Koda; fled away with madhu (honey) and left Koda in jail. Once again the corrupt people are coming together and forming an alliance. This grand alliance is coming up just to rob Jharkhand again. You have to be vigilant to their tendency,” said Raghubar Das on Sunday.
He also came down heavily against the JMM executive president and Leader of Opposition Hemant Soren alleging him for purchasing lands at several places by violating laws. “Their leaders had told you before the elections that if the BJP comes to power all the lands belonging to tribal would be taken away? Has any of your land being taken away by the Government in four years of our regime? In fact it is the Soren family who is a resident of Gola in Ramgarh but has gone on purchasing dozens of tribal lands at Ranchi, Deoghar, Bokaro, Dumka, Sahibgunj by violating provisions of the CNT and SPT Acts. The family is the biggest land looter in the State,” alleged the CM.
The CM did not stop here and pulled up the parties on the ground of dynastic politics. He termed the Congress a party of ‘mother and son’ while the arch rival JMM of ‘father and son’ in a veiled reference of Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi along with JMM’s Shibu Soren and Hemant Soren. “Congress and JMM have been running family party; one is of mother and son and another is of father and son.
This is completely opposite of the BJP’s work culture where a son of a simple lady working in others’ home as domestic help can become Prime Minister of this country and a son of a labourer can become Chief Minister of the State,” said Das pitching for the support. He also ridiculed Hemant Soren by terming him an ignorant person to poverty but fortunate to born in the home of Shibu Soren. Talking about efforts taken by the Government in improving situation in the constituency and also the entire Santhal Pargana the CM said that every household in the water scarce constituency would be getting piped drinking water through one of the biggest drinking water scheme being ever run in the State. “Single scheme worth Rs 217 crore is underway to provide piped drinking water to every home of Littipara which has not been done anywhere so far. Every tribal and primitive tribe families are given LPG connection under Ujjwala. Power connection is to reach to all by December this year. Seven female farmers from Godda would be sent to Israel for training.
Now Santhal Pargana would not remain just a pasture for any political party,” the CM said indicating to the JMM.Chief Minister Raghubar Das meets 'Sri-108' Satyanand ji Maharaj Swami at Brahma Vidyalaya Ashram in Pakur district on Sunday.
