Safron party is in strong position in Jharkhand, claims Himanta

way2barak, Oct 31 : Our team is in strong position in Jharkhand, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, BJP co-in-charge for the Jharkhand assembly polls, said on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming elections.

Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit  Jharkhand on November 4. He will address two public rallies and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address three rallies in the state on November 3. Sarma expressed optimism, saying, “People will bless us this time and the NDA-BJP will form the government this time in the state.”

Sarma said, “We will fight the elections well and this time.”

Regarding the NDA’s candidate for chief minister in Jharkhand, Sarma mentioned, “We have not decided on the CM face from NDA… Our goal will be to choose a good CM for the state.”

The elections for the 81 seats Jharkhand Assembly will take place in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with vote counting taking place on November 23.

Sarma attacked chief minister Hemant Soren for his policies towards farmers, claiming that there is insufficient paddy procurement in the state and that farmers are not receiving the Minimum Support Price on time.

Sarma said, “Hemant Soren should understand that in Jharkhand, the state government doesn’t procure paddy, doesn’t give MSP to the farmers on time and the maximum amount of paddy is brought by middlemen. He should apologise to the farmers for the crimes he has committed and not transfer this failure to the central government.”

He also urged Soren to declare that he does not want infiltrators in the state and to implement the National Register of Citizens.
