Several Cong, JMM MLAs in touch with BJP, claims Himanta

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 | PNS | Ranchi

Assam Chief Minister and Jharkhand BJP election co-incharge Himanta Biswa Sarma dropped a bombshell claiming that 12-14 MLAs of the Congress and two-three MLAs of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) are in touch with the BJP. But at the same he asserted that BJP does not have enough space for them for the upcoming assembly polls.

The Assam Chief Minister who reached Ranchi was talking to media persons at Birsa Munda International Airport though many lawmakers from Congress and JMM camp are in touch with him. If we take everyone, the party leaders will get upset and in such a situation the respect for party workers is important.

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren and a former JMM MLA Lobin Hembrom recently switched to BJP.
In response to Hemant Soren's statement that the opposition wants to hang him, Himanta said that CM Hemant Soren should live long, the country needs him. Himanta said that BJP is only asking Hemant Soren to stop infiltration. The issue of infiltration is being raised because earlier Hindu MLAs used to be elected in Pakur, now Muslim MLAs are elected. Pakur DC has also been asked about the changing demography.

Speaking about the recent deaths of excise constable aspirants, he said the BJP has demanded a job and Rs 50 lakh compensation for the kin of the deceased. "Jharkhand CM accused Covid vaccine for the death of the aspirants. The CM himself took the vaccine and told people that Covid vaccine is safe," he said.
He said he would meet two families who lost their members in the recruitment drive.
The physical tests for the Jharkhand excise constable recruitment drive, which began on August 22, were halted following the deaths of 12 aspirants.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren had ordered the suspension of the drive from September 3 to September 5 due to these fatalities. The remaining part of the drive for around 1.14 lakh candidates will resume on September 10 with revised norms.

On the allegations made by former minister Bandhu Tirkey, he said that he never spoke to Bandhu Tirkey on video call. His daughter Mandu MLA Shilpi Neha Tirkey met him at the airport, then there was a hi-hello. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma was welcomed at Ranchi airport by Leader of Opposition Amar Bauri, MP Deepak Prakash, and many other BJP leaders.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of promoting China and undermining India.
"Rahul Gandhi promotes China in various ways. Undermining India, he tries to project China as the best nation. But, there is no democracy and no religious freedom for people in China. But, Gandhi doesn’t talk about them," Sarma told reporters at the Birsa Munda Airport here.
Sarma, who is also the BJP's election co-in-charge for Jharkhand assembly polls, arrived here on a two-day visit.
