The chief minister criticised the BJP for allegedly undermining the political discourse in the country.”What kind of political discourse are they bringing to the table? They have reduced it to a battle of accusations and dirty tricks. They bring in outsiders to break parties and destroy the political fabric of states CMs of some states are camping here for months. Why is no one bothered about what’s happening in their states? Social media weapons have been unleashed by the BJP to spread fake narratives, and massive funds are being spent on pushing propaganda,” he alleged.Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Soren alleged: If PM Modi had his ways, he would have brought star campaigners from abroad to win Jharkhand elections.On BJP’s charges that tribals in Jharkhand were under greater threat than those in Manipur, Soren hit back, saying it was “like the pot calling the kettle black” and accused the saffron party of being behind the violence in the northeastern state.”Manipur burns. Why aren’t they focusing on Manipur? They are too busy creating divisions elsewhere. They do not even notice what’s happening in their double-engine state. That state is in turmoil under their rule. What has their double-engine government achieved? Nothing but division and violence,” Soren claimed.He slammed the BJP for “spreading the propaganda of infiltration”.”They say infiltration is on the rise. If it is so, who is responsible? I want to ask the Home Minister Amit Shah?” Soren said.Terming the BJP “a party of traders”, he alleged that the saffron camp “controlled” the central agencies like the CBI and the ED which conveniently “ignored the corruption and malpractices within its own ranks”.”They accuse us of corruption, but what about the BJP’s own scandals? No investigations are conducted into huge drug seizures at Gujarat’s ports or scams involving corporations,” he alleged.On the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), he said Jharkhand did not need it, questioning why the BJP was keeping tribals out of its purview.”There is no need of UCC here — We have stronger provisions to protect tribals
They talk about issues like UCC and NRC but fail to address the real concerns of the common people,” he remarked.He added that the results of the five-year struggle would be out on November 23 when the Jharkhand election results are announced.Elections to the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly are scheduled for November 13 and November 20.
