New Delhi [India]: Targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said on Saturday that the hatred being spread by the BJP has put the people of the country under threat and for more than 70 years since independence, no government in any election ever gave such “hate-filled” speeches.
Speaking to media, Tiwari said that if there is any threat to women, children and the country today, it is due to the hate-filled and poison-filled speeches of the BJP.
“The hatred being spread by the BJP has put the people of the country under threat. This nation has existed for thousands of years. It has been more than 70 years since this country’s independence and there never was any threat. No Govt in any election ever gave such hate-filled vitriolic speeches, the kind of speeches that are being given during elections today,” he said.
Further, the Congress MP said that there is a capable CM in Jharkhand (Hemant Soren) who was falsely sent to jail.
“Congress is in alliance with them, we have served the honour, identity and the people there with full strength. But the words of hatred that is being said by the BJP is the reason that an atmosphere of hatred is forming today,” he added.
Earlier today, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Manoj Pandey said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should consider them even sitting for the elections as a big achievement considering the fact that the people of Jharkhand had already made up their mind of forming Abua’s government in the state.
Speaking to media, Pandey said “If the account is opened on one seat, then the people of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should consider it as an achievement. The people have already made their mind that Abua’s government will be formed in Jharkhand. Santhal has been a land of movement. The situation today and the atmosphere indicate that Santhal will be one-sided.”
Voting for the first phase of the Jharkhand assembly elections concluded on November 13, with voting taking place in 43 out of the state’s 81 seats.
Elections on the remaining 38 seats will be conducted on November 20. The counting will be held on November 23.
