Union Home Minister Amit Shah has launched a sharp attack on the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Congress alliance, accusing them of widespread corruption in the state. At a rally in Dhanbad, Shah pledged that those responsible for embezzling public funds would face severe consequences. “The money seized from Congress and JMM leaders belongs to the youth, mothers, and sisters of Jharkhand. “Once the BJP takes power, we will recover every penny looted from the poor tribals, backward classes, and youth and return it to the state,” he declared.
Shah’s comments come amid accusations of corruption against JMM and Congress leaders, following a raid that uncovered Rs.350 crore in illicit funds linked to Congress leader Dheeraj Sahu. He also took aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of making empty promises to the electorate. “Rahul Baba makes many announcements which go unfulfilled. He added that BJP’s commitments would be honored, emphasizing that Modi’s guarantees are firm and unbreakable.
Shah further reiterated the BJP’s focus on securing Jharkhand from “foreign infiltrators,” promising that the party would form a panel to identify and expel such individuals. He also vowed to safeguard the land rights of local tribal women, asserting that BJP’s governance would protect Jharkhand’s future.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh responded to Shah’s remarks, stating that attempts to intimidate the public would not succeed. “The public is with us, and we are confident of a decisive mandate in Jharkhand and Maharashtra,” he said, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in the run-up to the elections.
The Election Commission will conduct the Jharkhand assembly elections in two phases: on November 13 and 20. The results will be announced on November 23.
