"People are with BJP; will have huge victory": Union Min Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Jharkhand polls

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], November 5 (ANI): Union Minister and BJP's election in-charge for Jharkhand, Shivraj Singh Chouhan expressed confidence in the party's victory in the upcoming assembly polls in Jharkhand, saying "people are standing with BJP and NDA and we will have a huge victory in this election."
"Prime Minister Modi came to this holy land of Jharkhand. The state is filled with joy and enthusiasm... For the protection of Jharkhand's soil, daughter and bread, for employment of youth, for women's empowerment and to drive out infiltrators from Jharkhand, and to end corruption, people are standing with BJP and NDA and we will have a huge victory in this election..." said Chouhan.
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that steps will be taken to stop infiltration if a BJP-led government is formed in Jharkhand and laws will framed to return usurped land to tribal women.
Addressing an election rally in Chaibasa, PM Modi also emphasised the party's 'roti, beti aur maati' slogan, saying people want BJP-led NDA to come to power in the assembly polls.
"The entire Jharkhand is saying today - 'Roti, beti aur maati ki pukaar, Jharkhand me BJP-NDA sarkar'... When the BJP government was formed for the first time, Atal Bihari Bajpayee got the opportunity in Delhi to serve the nation, Jharkhand was formed," he said.
He accused Congress, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of doing vote bank politics.
"JMM-Congress-RJD have endangered the identity of Jharkhand. Infiltrators are their biggest vote bank.... Infiltrators are targeting tribal daughters through lies, fraud and deceit, they are marrying and snatching tribals' land. They are snatching your - daughter, bread and land. I assure you that as soon as the BJP government is formed in Jharkhand, every step will be taken to stop infiltration," PM Modi said.
PM Modi accused Congress and its allies of keeping the tribal community "poor and in deprivation" for a long time and said BJP is committed to remove poverty from Jharkhand.
Meanwhile, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren exuded confidence in the win of the INDIA alliance and said that they will again form the government with the blessings of people who benefitted from his government policies.
Addressing a rally in Hatia, CM Soren also hit out at the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, for dividing the society in the name of religion, backward and forward classes. Attacking further, he alleged that people were 'dying of hunger' during the previous BJP government regime in state.
Elections for the 81-seat assembly in Jharkhand will be held in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with the counting of votes scheduled for November 23. (ANI)
