Children of infiltrator father and Adivasi mother to be denied tribal rights: Nadda
Ranchi, Nov 9: Bharatiya Janata Party president Jagat Prasad Nadda on Saturday asserted that if the saffron party is voted to power in Jharkhand, it will not allow tribal rights to children of infiltrator father and local Adivasi mother.
Addressing an election rally at Bishrampur in Palamu district, Nadda alleged that the JMM-led government has given shelter to Bangladeshi infiltrators and they would be driven out.
“Children of Bangladeshi infiltrator father and Adivasi mother will be denied tribal rights if the BJP is voted to power in Jharkhand. It will not allow infiltration to continue,” Nadda said.
He alleged that "corrupt people and thieves" are part of the JMM-led government in the state.
“Time has come to oust the single-engine government from Jharkhand and form a double-engine government here for all-round development,” the BJP chief said.
He said that India’s image changed globally under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“US President-elect Donald Trump describing PM Modi as his close friend reflects India’s changing image,” he said.
India ranks second in steel manufacturing and fifth in the mobile phone market globally. The budget for highways was increased by 50 per cent under Modi , he said.
Nadda claimed that the Prime Minister worked to bring tribals into the mainstream of society.
The budget for tribal welfare was increased by three times, for Eklayva model schools 21 times while around 1.5 crore toilets were built for tribals out of 11 crore toilets across the country.
Addressing another rally in Bishrampur in Palamu district, he claimed that the people of Jharkhand are fed up with the JMM-led government, which is involved in corruption and appeasement politics.
They have decided to vote for good governance and development under the leadership of Modi, he said.
The BJP chief also interacted with the doctor fraternity in the state capital Ranchi.

Surveillance intensified in Bengal border districts as killers of Suvendu's PA may flee out of state
Kolkata (PTI): Police stations in border districts of West Bengal intensified surveillance and searches as investigators suspect the involvement of professional shooters from neighbouring states in the killing of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari's close aide, a senior officer said on Friday.
The police are also investigating the role of local criminals who might have provided logistical support to the assailants, he said.
More than 36 hours after Adhikari's personal assistant Chandranath Rath was assassinated by motorcycle-borne gunmen at Madhyamgram in North 24 Parganas district, the police are yet to make any arrest.
“A detailed investigation is underway. The manner in which the attack was carried out suggests extensive reconnaissance and the possible involvement of hired sharpshooters from outside the state,” a senior police officer told PTI.
He also said all police stations in border districts have been alerted.
"Checks are being carried out at multiple points, and CCTV footage from areas along Jessore Road is being thoroughly scanned,” another senior officer said.
According to probe findings, the gunmen allegedly followed Rath’s vehicle before launching the attack.
“The escape route of the gunmen indicates that they were familiar with the locality, or local criminals might have assisted them. Without local support, fleeing through the lanes so quickly would have been difficult,” the officer added.
The police, however, are yet to ascertain the motive behind the murder.
The police and detective department officers have launched extensive searches in and around Madhyamgram near Kolkata.
Heavy deployment of police and central forces has also been made in the area since the murder occurred on Wednesday night.
"A motorcycle used in the crime was registered in 2012 in the name of a resident of Burnpur in Asansol. However, the police found that no person by that name currently resides at the address given during the vehicle registration process," another officer said.
