The contest on Jharkhand’s Seraikela assembly seat is between former CM and BJP leader Champai Soren and JMM’s Ganesh Mahli. There has already been a contest between these two on this seat twice in 2014 and 2019. Champai Soren won both times by a small margin. The only difference this time is that both of them have changed parties, Champai is contesting from BJP instead of JMM and Ganesh Mahali is contesting on JMM ticket instead of BJP.
After Champai joined BJP, when Ganesh Mahli’s ticket was cut by BJP, he became a rebel and took the ticket from JMM. The people of Champai’s village say that Champai helps the people, hence whichever party it is, it will win. So the same Ganesh Mahali said that Champai has not made any development and this time Tiger is competing with Babbar Sher.
Who will be the CM? Champai Soren gave this answer
Champai Soren said that there is a wave of BJP in Kolhan and Jharkhand and we will also be victorious, we also have the support of the public. Chief Minister Hemant Soren is free to say whatever he says, we will not respond to him. We are confident that BJP will do well. Whereas, on the question of CM, Champai Soren said that it is for the party to decide who will become the CM. This will be the party’s decision. BJP gave us the responsibility to fight from Seraikela, we are fighting. Whatever responsibility is given to us in future, we will fulfill it.
Bangladeshi infiltration is the biggest issue in Jharkhand
The former Chief Minister said that the biggest issue in Jharkhand is the infiltration of Bangladeshis. We have seen on the ground. Every settlement has been wiped out. The daughters-in-law of our society are not safe, they are being forced to marry and occupy the land and sell it. On refusal, it is being cut into 50 pieces. Where did Hindus and Muslims get involved in the issue of Bangladeshi atrocities on tribals and looting of their land?
Who can be unhappy with protecting the tribals? BJP created Jharkhand state, Congress only fired on the agitators. Sarna Code existed till 1951 but Congress abolished it. You are the one who dropped the issue, you are the one who raised it. How does JMM talk about the interest of tribals by forming an alliance with Congress? First move away from Congress and then talk about tribals. Congress has only opened fire.
Ganesh Mahli said BJP should tell why we rebelled
On the other hand, Ganesh Mahali said that why did we rebel against BJP? We will not speak on that, we will move forward with the party we are in. Champai Soren did not do any development work in Seraikela. The people here have been seeing the same face for 30 years, people want change, want development. The public made Champai Soren a tiger, the same public will put the tiger in a cage this time. He is a tiger and we are lions.
He further said that if BJP government comes to power, it will evict the tribals from the land. It will convert the natives into foreigners and will work to convert the foreigners into natives. This has caused fire in Jharkhand. BJP is misleading the public in the name of infiltration. The result that came in Kolhan in 2019 will be the same this time too.
