BJP trying to snatch rights of tribals, we will not bow down: Kalpana Soren

  • | Wednesday | 24th April, 2024

Former CM Hemant Sorens wife Kalpana Soren Murmu today said that the BJP wants to suppress the voice of tribals and snatch their rights, but the people of the tribal community are brave enough to thwart such an attempt. Addressing a public meeting in Chaibasa on the occasion of nomination filing of JMM candidate from Singhbhum Kalpana said that in the land of Singhbhum people are like lions. They dont bow before anyone. They neither bowed before the British nor before the dictatorial government. We have to uproot BJP which wants to snatch away the rights and privileges of the tribal people. You saw what happened in Manipur. They talk about tribals but when their massacre took place, the BJP leaders did not set foot there. This is their tribal love. There are a lot of catchphrases but you have to see who thinks about the interest of Jharkhand. When the proposal was made to include the language in the 8th Schedule as soon as the government is formed in the state, the Home Ministry said that it will think later. They rejected the Ho language. They also rejected the Sarna religious code, she said. They want to end reservation. Would you choose such people? Will you elect such people who do not talk about your rights and entitlements in Parliament? A big program took place in Ranchi. Popular leader Arvind Kejriwal, who was doing public welfare work, was also put in jail. The people sitting at the center want to suppress you. They think you are insects. Will you tolerate it?, asked Kalpana. Joba Manjhi is one among you. Her tenure has been excellent. You have to strengthen them. If she wins, Guruji and Hemant Soren will become stronger. India Alliance government will be formed at the centre. The sloganeers are raising slogans. Who started Sarvajan Pension, BJP people will say that it was started by the Centre. But it is the responsibility of you to go to the village and tell the people that Hemant Soren has given pension to everyone, she said. JMM candidate from Singhbhum, former minister and MLA Joba Manjhi filed her nomination on Tuesday. During this time, Kalpana Soren, Chief Minister Champai Soren, many MLAs including Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Maji, Minister Deepak Barua, Central General Secretary of JMM were present. CM Champai Soren while addressing the gathering said that the peoples turnout for this election has proved that our victory will be certain in the first phase of elections. We had not allowed BJP to open its account in Kolhan in the last assembly. This time also we will win 14 seats. We did a lot for the development of Jharkhand. BJP never thinks about tribal interests. It doesnt think about the welfare of the natives. It doesnt think about the welfare of Dalits. They dont have an issue. They have been doing jumlabazi since 2014 till date. This time too there is a promise of guarantee. But, we dont know what the guarantee is. BJP betrayed the public in Jharkhand. Our government gave the scheme in the remote area of the forest. It gave benefits to every family. Pension given to the people after the age of 50 years. Champai said that BJP relaxed the forest rights law. It does not respect the village head. We have fought for water, jungle and land for years. Manki Munda was relaxed in the double engine government. Our government is giving Manki Munda scholarship. A playground was built in the name of Poto Ho. He said that there are elections not only in Jharkhand but across the country. On one side is the party of the capitalists. On the other hand, there is a party of poor Dalits, tribals and minorities. In 2019, the government was formed under the leadership of Hemant Soren with absolute majority. Since then, BJP has been continuously trying to topple the government. During this period, Hemant Soren kept making welfare schemes. The tribals continued working for the welfare of the natives. Appointments to government posts also continued. BJP conspired and put Hemant Soren in jail and is still plotting and trying to change the Constitution. Our rights and entitlements are contained in it. Efforts are being made to relax them. Today, Hemant is in jail so I had to come among you. I have brought his message to you. You have to make him win to get your rights secured.
