Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led (JMM) coalition government, in which the Congress is a constituent, for allegedly carrying out ‘love Jihad, land Jihad and forest Jihad’ against tribals by allowing infiltrators to enter Jharkhand. He was addressing an election rally in Dumka, where he was campaigning for BJP candidate Geeta Soren, the eldest daughter-in-law of JMM chief Shibu Soren, who recently quit the JMM and joined the BJP.
“I want to appeal to the tribal brothers and sisters to elect a government which can stop infiltration. If infiltration is not stopped, both the land and forests of the tribals will be in danger. The issue of infiltration is a big question for the tribals. The Congress, Hemant Soren and his Minister who was just arrested, have carried out love jihad, land jihad and forest jihad against the tribals by infiltrating into Jharkhand,” Mr. Shah said.
He then praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and listed his works done in Jharkhand. Mr. Shah pointed out that Mr. Modi launched the country’s major schemes from Jharkhand, such as the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, and the Mudra Yojana. Mr. Shah asserted that Mr. Modi believed that until Jharkhand did not develop, the country would not develop.
