BJP State General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Aditya Sahu addressed the press at the Media Center on Sunday. He said that democracy runs on public law. In Jharkhand, the JMM, Congress and RJD coalition government is doing everything for its own self-interest by flouting the law.
Sahu said that the Indi alliance is misusing the state power and administrative machinery. The intentions of the government are not clear. The Indi coalition government has saved a large amount of money to rig the elections. By making a separate helipad, money is being transported and brought from here. There is a possibility of large-scale illegal financial manipulation in the elections.
He said that Khelgaon is the property of the state government. It should be made clear how it is being used for election work. Information should be given on what basis permission was given to take off and land the helicopter from here. JMM should explain when it asked the Airport Authority for space to land and take off the helicopter and the Airport Authority refused to give space.
Sahu said that in elections every party campaigns by helicopter for time management. The helicopter takes off from the airport and also lands. Till date a separate helipad has never been built. Ignoring the law, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has built a separate helipad in Ranchi's Khelgaon. From there the party officials take off and land by helicopter.
The State General Secretary said that one has to go through security while taking off from the helicopter. Complete checking is done, but the officials of their choice have been posted in the separate helipad built by JMM. They are just performing formalities during checking. There is doubt over what is being transported and brought by helicopter.
Sahu said that this rigging is being done with the connivance of DC and SDO of Ranchi. He said that the distance of the airport from the Chief Minister's residence is only 5 kilometers. The distance from the sports village is 8 to 10 kilometers. Even after this, making a separate helipad in Khelgaon is under doubt.
The Rajya Sabha MP said that officials should know that governments come and go. Don't work for any one side. The consequences of wrong action are always bad. The legal cell of BJP has expressed objection to this. A complaint has been lodged with the Election Commission. The party will also complain to the Election Commission of India in this matter.
Sahu said that there is a lot of space in the airport. Every party's helicopter is taking off and landing from here. Many special aircraft are also landing and taking off from here. A separate helipad has been built in the sports village only to prevent wrongdoing.
On this occasion, state media in-charge Shivpujan Pathak, minister Saroj Kumar Singh, state spokesperson Rafia Naz, senior leader and former state spokesperson Pradeep Sinha were also present.
