Sahibganj: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who took part in a 'Parivartan' rally here on Friday, said the time has come to show the exit door to the 'corrupt' JMM-led government in Jharkhand.
Ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly polls at the year-end, Shah paid a visit to the Bhognadih in the Barhet block of the district by helicopter from Deoghar Airport. Thereafter, he garlanded the statue of martyr Sidhu Kanhu, bowed down, and started off the Parivartan Yatra.
Speaking at the rally, Shah slammed the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) terming them as "infiltrators vote bank". He further promised to drive illegal immigrants out of the state.
Coming down heavily on Hemant Soren's government, Shah termed it the "most corrupt government in the country". He further questioned, "Can a government that indulges in multiple scams ensure people's welfare?"
In Santhal Pargana, the tribal population has reduced to 28 per cent from 44 per cent due to infiltration, Shah claimed, asserting the BJP will wave its flag on all the seats. Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Babulal Marandi, Rajya Sabha MP Deepak Prakash, Godda MP Nishikant Dubey, and Assam Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma were present in the Yatra.
What is special about martyr's Bhognadih?
Bhognadih is considered to be the birthplace of Sido Murmu, the hero of the Santhal rebellion. This is the land, where thousands of people lost their lives in battle, including many Britishers. To suppress the movement, they hanged Sido Kanhu openly on a Banyan tree in Panchkathiya of Barhet to make people remain in terror. This movement lasted for two years; subsequently, Britishers named it Santhal Pargana to pacify the tribals.
In his speech, Amit Shah fiercely targeted the Hemant government, focusing his comments on 'corruption', Bangladeshi infiltration and the unfulfilled promises of the Hemant government. He said that there should be a change aimed at removing the corrupt government in the State. The change is meant to save tribal land, tribal girls, tribal culture, he said, adding that the infiltrators have to be selected and thrown out. "We do not just want to change the CM, we want to change Jharkhand," he said.
Amit Shah said that for the first time a daughter of a poor tribal from Santhal has become the President in Rashtrapati Bhavan. Development has been started by ending Naxalism. Narendra Modi has done the work of celebrating the birthday of Lord Birsa Munda as Tribal Pride Day, he said.
Hemant ji cannot hear - Amit Shah
Amit Shah criticised Hemant Soren, recalling that he promised to give five lakh jobs every year but instead of giving jobs, he was beating the youth. He said that the Hemant government is the most corrupt government in the whole country.
Taking part in the Parivartan rally in Giridih, Amit Shah said that if the infiltration continues in the same way, then in the coming 25-30 years, Bangladeshi infiltrators will become the majority here. "Does the public want Giridih to be filled with infiltrators? Can CM Hemant Soren stop this? Can Congress stop this? This is their vote bank," he said.
Amit Shah said that the intruders are destroying our civilization, usurping our property, arranging fake marriages with our daughters in different ways and these intruders are also robbing us of our jobs. "There is no place for intruders in Jharkhand. Jharkhand is a rich state, full of mineral wealth. There are so many minerals that can fill the treasury of the entire country but Jharkhandis are poor. People from here go to Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala for jobs. I promise that once you form a full majority BJP government, you will not have to go to the state for jobs," he said.
During his today's visit, Amit Shah offered prayers at Baba Jharkhand Dham where he performed Jalabhishek and Aarti. The Home Minister arrived here after the Parivartan Sabha. Before this, the Home Minister stressed the need for proper development of this religious place.
