‘Congress-JMM allowed infiltrators to grab land, abuse tribal women’: PM Modi
Nov-13-2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public rally in poll-bound Jharkhand’s Deoghar, launched a scathing attack on the ruling INDIA allies Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Congress, criticizing the state government for infiltrators grabbing land and harassing tribal women. PM said, ‘Wherever I have travelled in Jharkhand, the biggest worry has been about infiltration. As per the data available, the tribal population in Santhal has reduced to half. We have to protect our tribal families and every Jharkhandi from this’.

Modi also alleged that a ‘huge conspiracy’ is underway to change the identity of Jharkhand. He blamed the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)- Congress government for making infiltrators permanent residents in the state. He said, ‘These infiltrators snatched your jobs and roti. JMM government said in court that there has been infiltration in the state. The protection of Roti, Beti, and Maati is the biggest issue in this election'. PM also assured the people that the BJP if elected would fulfil the promise of ‘Roti, Beti aur Makaan’ for the people.

PM Modi further accused the Congress of insulting tribals and claimed that the party wants to end reservation for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). He said, ‘When the BJP decided to make a tribal daughter the President of India, Congress tried its best to defeat her. Even today they insult President Murmu’.

PM’s remarks came even as voting continues in 43 out of the 81 constituencies in phase 1 of the Jharkhand assembly elections. Elections for the Jharkhand assembly are being held in two phases on November 13 and 20, with the vote count scheduled for November 23.
