Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], August 2 (ANI): Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday slammed Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and accused him of engaging in hate politics in Jharkhand.
Soren said, “Their (BJP) one CM is whose own state is drowning due to flood, and instead of serving his people, he is here in Jharkhand to divide the society. I sent him the flood relief but he only does hatred politics here.”
Taking a jibe at him, he further said that Sarma should tell that how many flood-affected areas he had visited in Assam.
“He (Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma) should be asked how many flood-affected areas has he visited?… He is more concerned about the situation in Jharkhand rather than Assam…” said Soren.
He further said, “I am also concerned about the people of Jharkhand who are currently residing in Assam. Even I sent the flood relief package for them. But Sarma looks more concerned for Jharkhand instead of Assam. I don’t know why he is here, but this is a tradition of the BJP. This is their agenda, but we will work on our agenda.”
Assam Chief Minister and BJP’s co-in-charge for Jharkhand elections Himanta Biswa Sarma was on a two-day Jharkhand visit.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and BJP Jharkhand co in-charge Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday reached Pakur and accused ‘Bangladeshi infiltrators’ of grabbing tribals’ land.
Sarma also highlighted that despite court orders of Tribal family that should be given their land back, the administration is not taking any necessary steps about the same.
Sarma was interacting with reporters Sarma said, “Today, I visited Gaibathan village of Pakur. There is SPT law, so the land of the Adivasis cannot be transferred. Two Bangladeshi infiltrators grabbed their land, the Court gave an order that both of them should be removed and the Adivasi family should be given their land back, but the administration did not do anything.”
“When the Adivasi family tried constructing a house on their land, they were attacked by Bangladeshi infiltrators. Even today, they have not got their land back. An Adivasi CM of Jharkhand should help them. Infiltration is not an issue, it is the reality in places like Pakur, Sahibganj…” he added.
“The demography of Pakur and the entire Santhal Pargana has been changing. Our party will provide Rs 1 lakh each to the families of both the Adivasi victims. If Jharkhand CM would have come to my state, I would not have stopped him from visiting anywhere but I have been asked not to visit Gopinathpur, said Sarma.
If the Chief Minister of a state is not allowed to visit a certain place because of the fear of infiltrators, you can understand the situation of Jharkhand. I would not want to visit Gopinathpur forcefully but I will come back again after some time and then I will visit Gopinathpur…,” said Assam CM. (ANI)
