Amit Shah said, ‘The great people of Jharkhand have to decide whether they want a government steeped in corruption or a BJP government led by Modi Ji which walks on the path of development. Do they want a government which endangers the identity of Jharkhand by allowing infiltration or a BJP government which protects the border so secure that even a bird cannot fly over it.’
Union Home Minister Amit Shah today released the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto in Jharkhand. After releasing the manifesto, he also addressed a public meeting and fiercely attacked the Hemant Soren government. Shah said that this election in Jharkhand is not only an election to change the government, but also an election to secure the future of Jharkhand. Amit Shah alleged that the current government has failed to protect the identity of Jharkhand – roti, beti, maati.
He said that this election in Jharkhand is not only an election to change the government, but also an election to secure the future of Jharkhand. The great people of Jharkhand have to decide whether they want a government steeped in corruption or a BJP government led by Modi ji moving on the path of development. He said that they want a government that endangers the identity of Jharkhand by allowing infiltration or they want a BJP government that protects the border so much that even a bird cannot fly.
‘Hemant government failed to provide security to women’
Shah said, ‘All records of the plight of women were broken in the Hemant government and Jharkhand stood second in the trafficking of minor girls and kidnapping of women. There was a 42 percent increase in rape cases. Infiltrators are working under a conspiracy by usurping the land of tribal daughters. Our government will selectively expel the infiltrators. Hemant Soren has failed to provide security to women. Jharkhand is a state full of corruption. Have you ever seen Rs 351 crore being recovered? More than Rs 20 crore has been recovered from Alamgir Alam’s hideout.’

Shah raised the issue of unemployment
The Home Minister said, ‘The youth troubled by unemployment and paper leaks are today looking for their future with the BJP. The people of Jharkhand are looking for a government that works for the welfare of the poor instead of a government that distributes the money meant for the poor among its followers through corruption, so the BJP has come up with an election manifesto today.’
Attacking the state government sharply, Amit Shah said, ‘During the Hemant Soren government, crimes against women in Jharkhand have increased by 29 percent and rape cases have increased by 42 percent. The Hemant Soren government has failed to protect women. The Hemant Soren government had promised to provide employment to 5 lakh youth every year. Today I have come to ask for an account from you, forget about 25 lakh, just give me a list of 5 lakh youth… The youth of Jharkhand is angry with the Hemant Soren government and is looking for you.

We will drive out the infiltrators
Referring to the infiltrators, Shah said, ‘You (Hemant Soren) have given shelter to the infiltrators. You see your vote bank in the infiltrators. Due to the infiltrators in this state, the number of tribals is decreasing, the demography is changing and the Hemant Soren government is busy in its own work. I promise you that if the BJP government comes, it will drive out the infiltrators from Jharkhand. The BJP government came to Assam and today infiltration has stopped in Assam. We will protect the three – roti, beti and maati.’
