Jharkhand’s Hussainabad to become district if BJP wins, to be named after Ram or Krishna: Himanta
Medininagar (Jharkhand), Oct 23: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that Hussainabad sub-division in Jharkhand’s Palamu district will be made a district if the BJP comes to power after the assembly elections, and it will be named after Lord Ram or Krishna.
Sarma, also the BJP’s Jharkhand election co-in-charge, said that driving out infiltrators from the state would be the priority of the party.
“Hussainabad will be made a district for sure after BJP comes to power in the state. It will be named after Lord Ram or Krishna,” he said.
Sarma said that Hussainabad will be designated as a separate district in the first cabinet meeting of the new government.
The Assam CM was addressing an election rally at Japla’s Karpoori ground seeking votes for Hussainabad assembly constituency candidate Kamlesh Singh.
Singh, who was Jharkhand’s sole Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislator, joined the BJP on October 4.
Designating Hussainabad a separate district has been a demand of Singh for a long time. He withdrew his support from the Hemant Soren-led government on November 1 last year claiming that his demand was not fulfilled.
At the poll meeting, Sarma alleged that Jharkhand’s demography is changing due to Bangladeshi infiltrators but the ruling JMM is silent over the issue since they are its vote bank.
“Driving out infiltrators is BJP’s priority. We will implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) to drive out Bangladesh infiltrators from Jharkhand,” he said.
He claimed that the Hindu population is declining in Jharkhand’s Santhal Pargana region, while the population of Bangladesh infiltrators is rising.
“They are entering Jharkhand through Santhal Pargana and spreading across the state. Gradually, Jharkhand will face the same situation what Assam is facing today,” Sarma said.
He claimed that the Muslim population in Assam was not even 20 per cent in 1951, which now increased to 45 per cent due to Bangladeshi infiltrators.
Polling to the 81-member Jharkhand assembly will be held in two phases on November 13 and 20, and votes will be counted on November 23.
