Amit Shah Predicts BJP Victory in Jharkhand Amidst Allegations

Ahead of Jharkhand's second polling phase, Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed confidence in the BJP's victory, criticizing current Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the opposition's alleged corruption and collaboration. Shah promised job creation and a crackdown on Bangladeshi infiltrators, asserting the state's mineral wealth should benefit local youth.

As Jharkhand prepares for the second phase of polling on November 20, Union Home Minister Amit Shah confidently declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to form the state's government, while the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) is expected to be ousted.

Criticizing incumbent Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Shah insisted Soren's political tenure is nearing its end. Referencing a raid that resulted in a Rs 350 crore seizure from a Congress leader's residence, Shah questioned the ownership of the funds, insinuating corruption among Soren's associates.

Furthermore, Union Minister Shah accused Congress of historically opposing Jharkhand's formation and condemned Soren for collaborating with them. Shah pledged to address unemployment by establishing factories in the state and vowed legislative action against Bangladeshi infiltrators, whom he blamed for job losses. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath echoed these sentiments, accusing ruling parties of enabling leftist influences in the state.
