"The Election campaigning of our non-biological PM, HM and others in BJP in Jharkhand, clearly show that they are baffled and scared. They have not been able to recover from the results of 2024 elections...The only agenda of PM Modi, Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, and Assam CM is social polarisation. Massive polartisation. Spread enmity, create communal tension and spread communal venom. They have no agenda besides polarisation. In Maharashtra, Congress, NCP-SCP, Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Maha Vikas Aghadi has campaigned on issues of farmers, women, youth, issues of social justice. But they do polarisation in Maharashtra. Go to Jharkhand - what are we, JMM and Congress, campaigning about? Our work in 5 years and our roadmap for next 5 years, the work for tribals, SCs, STs, OBCs, every section of society, issues of jungle and forest. These are our issues. But even in Jharkhand, the only agenda of BJP is polarisation...These clearly show that BJP is baffled and scared...I would like to tell the PM that when you have the census, only then will you be able to go forward. What is the basis of social justice? Census. Why are they backtracking on the census?...If you don't have caste survey, caste census, how would you deliver social justice?..."
