NEW DELHI: BJP president JP Nadda on Monday launched an attack on the ruling JMM-led alliance in Jharkhand, accusing it of betraying the tribal community and patronising infiltrators for votes. As part of the BJP's 'Parivartan Yatra', Nadda targeted key political opponents while highlighting his party's commitment to tribal welfare .
Highlighting the alleged mistreatment of senior tribal leader Champai Soren, Nadda claimed that the former chief minister was humiliated within his own party, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha ( JMM ), after being forced to step down upon Hemant Soren 's return from jail.
"Tribal leader Champai Soren was humiliated and forced to leave the JMM," said Nadda addressing a rally in Jharkhand's Khunti.
The BJP president also raised concerns over a sharp decline in the tribal population, attributing it to what he described as the unchecked rise of infiltrators in the state.
"The tribal population has reduced from 44% to 28%. Infiltrators, including Rohingyas, are grabbing land and marrying tribals, and the JMM is patronizing them for votes," Nadda alleged.
In his fiery speech, Nadda also aimed at the Congress, calling it the "most corrupt party" that encourages separatists and anti-national forces. He accused the RJD-JMM-Congress coalition of betraying the state's tribal communities, saying, "The BJP is the only party committed to the welfare of tribals and Jharkhand. The ruling coalition has failed them."
He also pointed to the deaths of several aspirants during the recent excise constable recruitment exam as evidence of the coalition’s "poor governance," which, he said, is taking a toll on the state's youth.
