Chaibasa (Jharkhand) [India], November 4 : BJP candidate from Jagannathpur assembly constituency Geeta Koda hit out at the JMM-Congress coalition government in Jharkhand and said that the alliance has cheated the youth in the state.
She said that a huge crowd gathered at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally on Monday and the situation has changed.
Geeta Koda said, "In 2019, BJP won the Lok Sabha seat here. We were a little behind in the assembly. But this time the situation has changed. The JMM-Congress coalition government has cheated the youth of Jharkhand. The way the tribals here have been cheated. This time the public has made up its mind that this time a change has to be brought. Today a huge crowd gathered at Prime Minister Modi's rally, he has raised the burning issues of Jharkhand."
She further said that the lotus would bloom in Kolhan which has 14 Assembly seats.
"Many people came to listen to PM Modi's speech from many remote areas like Kundi. PM Modi has raised issues such as language, progress of tribals, women, employment and issues which affect Kolhan and definitely there would be a change. The JMM-Congress coalition govt has spread a wrong narrative that BJP is not bothered about the tribals, but the way in which tribals have been excluded from UCC a positive hope has risen among them. In 2000 all the MLAs from Kolhan were tribals. After PM Modi's speech people have more faith in BJP," she added.
BJP candidate Geeta Koda would be contesting against Sona Ram Sinku of the Congress in Jagannathpur assembly constituency.
Earlier PM Modi on Monday 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.
Addressing an election rally here, PM Modi accused the ruling JMM of disrespecting former Chief Minister Champai Soren and alleged that JMM-Congress-RJD have endangered the identity of Jharkhand.
"In the 1980s when Congress was in power both in Bihar and Delhi and Jharkhand was part of Bihar back then - Gua Goli Kaand happened - the kind of barbarism the Britishers have committed here, Congress did the same with the blood of tribals... RJD leaders used to say that - Jharkhand would be formed on their corpses... The RJD wanted to suppress those who wanted to form Jharkhand, who is sitting in their lap, today? JMM is sitting in the lap of RJD," he said.
He said people of the region are keen to bring BJP back to power in the state.
"Kolhan is again ready to uproot the JMM-Congress-RJD's tyrant govternment. Everyone is saying that Kolhan is giving to create a history... I am certain that BJP-NDA will form the government with more number of seats than any time in history, " he said.
"They (JMM) have disrespected the son, pride of Kolhan - Champai Soren. The way they removed him from the CM's post by disrespecting him, the entire country has seen it. It's a disrespect of the entire Kolhan," he added.
The Jharkhand Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 13 and 20.
