New Delhi:Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday launched a series of sharp attacks on Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while campaigning in Jharkhand for the second phase of polling.
The Union minister said that the BJP would bid farewell to “Soren and company” on November 23. “Hemant Soren’s government is patronising infiltration in Jharkhand, but I promise you that every infiltrator will be deported,” Shah said at a rally in Dumri in Giridih district.
“They are indulging in multiple marriages with our tribal daughters and grabbing their land. We will ensure that the land is returned and will bring legislation for this,” he added.
Addressing corruption under the Soren’s administration, Shah alleged massive embezzlement of funds. Soren and his company have indulged in corruption and looted public funds, Shah claimed.
Addressing another rally in Gandey, Shah accused Soren and JMM-led coalition leaders of plundering Jharkhand’s rich mineral resources and claimed that they (JMM-led government) have also devoured `3.90 lakh-crore sent by the Centre for the state’s poor.
“We will prevent Hemant Soren from distributing people’s looted money among corrupt leaders. Each and every paisa looted from people will be returned to the state’s treasury,” the home minister said. Soren’s wife Kalpana is the JMM legislator from Gandey.
Meanwhile, taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Shah said Congress leader Sonia Gandhi tried to launch her son 20 times, but her “Rahul plane” will crash again for the 21st time in Jharkhand.
“Soniaji is fond of launching her son. She tried to launch the ‘Rahul plane’ 20 times but it failed to land. It crashed 20 times. It is going to crash for the 21st time at Deoghar airport,” Shah said.
He also attacked Gandhi for “failing” to visit the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, despite the BJP’s efforts to restore “Ram Lala” in the temple after 500 years in a temporary tent.
