Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], November 19 (Desk): Coming out heavily against the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday said there is “no governance” in the state as women are not safe, the future of the youth is not secure, and that people are suffering under corruption.
Stressing that Jharkhand needs change, Chouhan affirmed that the Bharatiya Janata Party will come to power and bring transformation in the state.
“There is no governance in Jharkhand. Women are not safe here. The future of youth is not secure. They are troubled. The people are suffering due to corruption. These are the big issues here. There is no government. Jharkhand needs transformation and the BJP will bring a change here. The wave of transformation is here in Jharkhand. Everyone has made up their mind to form the government of the NDA and BJP,” said Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Earlier in the day, BJP leader and former Chief Minister Champai Soren attacked Congress and JMM for ignoring the issues concerning Adivasis. He said that people will not trust Congress in Jharkhand as they have always been unjust to the people of the state.
Soren, the BJP candidate from the Saraikela assembly constituency, said that Congress was responsible for crushing the Jharkhand Andolan (movement).
“We have got a very good response in the state. The people want change. From Santhal Parganas to Palamu, there is a BJP wave in all the assembly constituencies. People don’t have trust in Congress. People will not trust Congress in Jharkhand because they have always done injustice to the people of the state. Jharkhand Andolan was on for such a long time only because of Congress. Congress was the only one that crushed the movement. They have created martyrs in the state. They never understood the pain of the Adivasis and Moolnivasis in the state,” Champai Soren said.
The first phase of the Jharkhand Assembly elections concluded with voting being completed in 43 of 81 assembly seats on November 13, with the remaining 38 seats in Jharkhand taking place on November 20, along with the 288 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly.
Campaigning for the polls in Maharashtra and the second phase of assembly polls in Jharkhand ended at 5 PM on Monday. Votes will be counted on November 23. (Desk)
