BJP’s strong stand in Jharkhand: No tribal status for children of infiltrators

Union Minister and BJP national president JP Nadda on Saturday vowed that if the saffron party comes to power in Jharkhand, it will protect the rights of local communities and will not allow tribal status to children of “infiltrator” father and local Adivasi mother.
“Every Bangladeshi will be thrown out of Jharkhand and, along with that, the way they marry tribal sisters and want rights on their tribal land, the children born from them will not be given any tribal rights,” Nadda said while addressing an election rally at Bishrampur in Palamu district.
Nadda also accused Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) government of giving shelter to Bangladeshi infiltrators and assured that all such people would be driven out of the state post the elections.
The senior BJP leader also alleged that “corrupt people and thieves” are part of the JMM-led government in Jharkhand and urged voters to replace the “single-engine” government with the “double-engine” model.
“Time has come to oust the single-engine government from Jharkhand and restore the double-engine government here for all-round development,” the BJP chief said.
Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had lashed out at the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government for “according a red-carpet welcome to Bangladeshi infiltrators” in the state. He also asserted that “such forces will be deported as soon as the BJP forms government in the state”.
Shah also accused the JMM and the Congress of spreading lies that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will claim tribal rights, clarifying that the saffron party will put tribals out of its ambit.
“The JMM-led coalition has laid out red carpet for Bangladeshi infiltrators, who settle in Jharkhand and grab tribal land, employment of youths and indulge in anti-national activities. Let the BJP regime form. They will be deported and not a bird will be allowed to cross the border,” Shah said at an election rally at Potka in East Singhbhum.
Elections to the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly will take place in two phases, on November 13 and November 20. Counting of votes will take place on November 23.
