Bokaro/ Dhanbad: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday asked the BJP who is their chief ministerial candidate in Jharkhand.
He said INDI alliance has a clarity of its chief ministerial candidate.
Yadav addressing an election rally at Dhanbad told the people to ask BJP who will be their chief minister in Jharkhand if voted to power in the state as the INDI alliance has clarity of its CM candidate.
The RJD leader said the election of Jharkhand is a battle between two ideologies—one that is "destroying" constitution and "spreading hatred" and another that is INDIA bloc, which is contesting to protect the constitution and developing brotherhood among people.
Earlier addressing an election rally at Bokaro he alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre was responsible for rising unemployment and prices of essential commodities.
"Unemployment and inflation are on the rise in the country due to wrong policies of the BJP-led government at the Centre. The BJP failed to check the price rise of essential commodities and increase employment opportunities," Yadav said.
He alleged that the BJP was misusing central agencies such as Enforcement Directorate, Central Bureau of Investigation and Income Tax to topple the non-BJP governments in states.
"They sent Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad to jail and they also tried to put me behind bars. We are not going to be scared in the name of jail," he said.
"They (BJP) are spreading hatred in the name of Hindu and Muslim in a bid to divert people's attention from real issues," he said.
Assembly Elections 2024 | The Maharashtra Assembly polls will take place against the backdrop of a fractured political landscape in the western state where the Shiv Sena and NCP will be going up against the Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar factions, even as the BJP and Congress try to make their mark. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the JMM faces a new challenge after Hemant Soren's recent arrest and Champai, a longstanding party member, joining the BJP. The Haryana election resulted in a shock loss for Congress, which was looking to galvanize on the Lok Sabha poll performance, while J&K also saw the grand old party eventually stepping away from the cabinet, with Omar Abdullah's JKNC forming government. It remains to be seen if the upcoming polls help BJP cement its position further or provide a fillip to I.N.D.I.A.
