Union Home Minister Amit Shah Saturday attacked Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha for the conspiracy by the state government to permit cross border infiltration for vote bank politics. He, however, said religion-based reservation in the country would not see the day. "You will know when the state government in Jharkhand tried to protect your 'Roti, Maati, Beti', but they succumbed to conspiracy of infiltrators for vote bank politics.".
In an election rally held in Palamu, HM Shah has not only questioned the INTI alliance about the exposed corruption but has also given his reaction about the exposed corruption through which over Rs 300 crores was recovered from the house of Congress MP and Rs 30 crore were seized from the residence of a personal assistant to Jharkhand minister Alamgir Alam.
In a stinging criticism of the Congress for its proposal to give 10 per cent reservation for Muslims, HM Shah said, "I want to warn Rahul Gandhi that your conspiracy to give 10 per cent reservation to Muslims will never succeed."
"If such a Muslim quota is created, the biggest losers will be OBCs, Dalits and Tribals as their share of reservation will be reduced," HM Shah warned.
He also attacked the Congress for waving "fake copies" of the Constitution at public rallies.
"The copies of the Constitution which they wave at the public have blank pages. Rahul Gandhi has insulted B.R. Ambedkar by waving a fake copy of the Constitution and reduced the revered document to a joke," he asserted.
The Home Minister also launched an attack on the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi over Article 370 saying neither the Congress leader nor his next four generations would be able to bring back Article 370, whose removal has fully integrated Jammu and Kashmir with the country under the Modi government.
HM Shah attacked Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for allowing infiltration for the sake of vote bank politics.
"The CM says there is no infiltration, it is just the BJP's political agenda. But I want to tell the CM that you are allowing infiltration as part of your vote bank politics," he claimed.
HM Shah said the infiltrators were eating into the jobs meant for Jharkhand's youths.
When a BJP government comes into power here, we will protect 'Roti, Maati, Beti.' Today infiltrators are marrying tribal girls in Jharkhand and getting land transferred to their names using Dan Patra," said he, vowing to halt the malpractice.
Charging the Congress and CM Soren, HM Shah said, "the seized Rs 300 crore and Rs 30 crore do not belong to the Congress, but belong to the youth of Jharkhand which they were trying to loot."
"Under Narendra Modi's government all corrupt people land in jail as his government has completed the task of punishing the corrupt-ulta latka kar, seedha kiya hai," he said.
He alleges that the corrupt Congress and the government siphoned off more than Rs 300 crore out of the money that the Centre sent for the state.
"Between 2014-24, the central government sent Rs 3,90,000 crore for the state as compared to just Rs 84,000 crore sent by the UPA government between 2004-14," he said.
Reaching out to the youth, Shah promised to stop paper leaks and generate one lakh jobs annually and fill 2.27 lakh vacancies in a transparent manner.
Counting the welfare schemes that the BJP will roll out upon coming to power, Shah said that the party will provide Rs 25,000 annually to all adult women, one LPG cylinder for Rs 500 with two free ones on Diwali and Rakshabandhan, rebate in property registration's stamp duty, additional Rs 1 lakh loan for building homes.
He said that the BJP would also open 10 new medical colleges, an internship and skill centre and give Rs 2,500 monthly financial assistance to widows and the physically-challenged.
In Jharkhand, voting will be held in two phases on November 13 and November 20 to pick a new 81-member Assembly. The results will be declared on November 23.
