We Will Implement the NRC: Shivraj's Promise Ahead of J'khand Polls, Says Soren favours infiltrators

Ranchi: Union Home Minister and BJP leader on Monday, October 7, said that the party will implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the poll-bound Jharkhand as Chief Minister Hemant Soren-led state government is favouring infiltrators.

These comments come amid the rising political tensions in the state. Chouhan, while speaking to ANI emphasised that they are determined to protect 'Roti, Mati aur Beti.'

" BJP is going to release its election manifesto. This election is not only about making someone a CM or of power, but it is about saving Jharkhand . We are determined to protect 'Roti, Mati aur Beti'. Due to the infiltrators from Bangladesh , the demography of the region is changing rapidly. Earlier, the tribal population in the Santhal region was more than 44 per cent. Now, it has been reduced to 28 per cent. The population is badly affected by these infiltrators," he said.

He further accused CM Soren of favouring the infiltrators.

"The Hemant Soren government is favouring the infiltrators for vote bank politics. We will implement the NRC in Jharkhand in which local residents will be registered and the intruders will be selected and thrown out," Chouhan added.

In the latest developments, the BJP released 'Paanch Prana' for the youth and women of Jharkhand as part of their election manifesto for the forthcoming assembly elections.

In the manifesto, the party put forward five promises announced by the party Yuva Sathi, Gogo Didi Yojana, Ghar Saakar, Laxmi Johar and 'Assured Employment'.

Speaking about a proposed meeting with farmers' bodies in Delhi on Monday, he said, "I meet farmers and their organisations every week. I am meeting them today as well. We decide about their welfare after talking to them." Chouhan on Sunday attended the BJP's election committee meeting in Ranchi where strategies for the upcoming assembly polls were discussed.
