Appeasement politics and infiltration from Bangladesh as topics; Modi launches campaign in Jharkhand

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the JMM-led government in Jharkhand, which has made appeasement politics a hallmark, encouraged infiltration from Bangladesh and is a threat to the tribal community in the state. "People who are fed up with the appeasement politics of the Front are waiting for the lotus to bloom," the Prime Minister said at a public meeting in Garhwa district to launch the campaign in Jharkhand. He also attended another meeting at Chaibasa in the Singhbhum Kolhan division.

Modi also announced that if the BJP comes to power, it will give Rs 2,000 as unemployment wages and provide houses to those living in slums. "The 'India' front government led by Hemant Soren has practised appeasement politics and favouritism. The Adivasi community in Jharkhand will shrink if the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance, which gave people's land and property to infiltrators, continues in power. People should vote for the BJP and uproot the infiltration alliance," Modi said at a rally at the Shri Krishna Gaushala Ground in Chetana village of Garhwa block.

"They pretended not to see infiltration in the government system. All the three parties, eager to break the social fabric, are supporters of infiltrators. Bangladeshi infiltrators are being settled across Jharkhand to target the vote bank. The 'India' front is an alliance of infiltrators and slaves of mafias," he alleged.

"There is no one in the JMM government who has not faced serious corruption allegations. Corruption is destroying the poor, Dalits, backwards and Adivasis. The three parties want the key to power to remain in the hands of a family alone. They insulted the Adivasi leader Champhai Soren to keep their own family in power," Modi said.
