BJP's Sunil Soren Accuses JMM of Exploiting Rohingyas as 'Vote Bank'

Sunil Soren, BJP's candidate from Dumka, accuses JMM of settling Bangladeshi Rohingyas for votes. He claims tribals, disillusioned with false promises, now support BJP. Soren questions JMM's tribal representation and criticizes opponent Basant Soren's performance. Elections in Jharkhand are scheduled for November with a significant voter turnout expected.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Dumka candidate Sunil Soren has made serious allegations against the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and its allies, accusing them of planning to settle Bangladeshi Rohingyas to use as a "vote bank." Soren alleges these individuals aim to grab land by marrying tribal girls and even harass students, a situation he claims is ignored by the government.

Soren asserts the BJP enjoys support from the Adivasi community, who he says have understood the INDIA bloc's government formed on false promises. He highlights the BJP's efforts in honoring tribal leaders, including appointing Droupadi Murmu as President, while condemning JMM for failing to send a tribal representative to the Rajya Sabha.

Soren dismisses his opponent Basant Soren as non-competitive, criticizing his lack of responsibility and failure to improve local issues such as law enforcement, education, healthcare, and agriculture. He claims the BJP is receiving a positive public response in Dumka, as the state prepares for assembly elections in November.
