740 MLAs, MPs joined BJP in past 10 years, claims JMM
Ranchi, Feb 19: Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday claimed that over the past 10 years, as many as 740 MLAs and MPs have joined the BJP against whom the saffron party had directly or indirectly leveled allegations of corruption.
Attacking at the Centre, the party also alleged that the BJP has adopted the adage either my way or highway', pointing to Jharkhand as the prime example.
Speaking to reporters, JMM general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya alleged that the country has witnessed many strange things including directives on what to eat, wear, study, and even hear, from 2014 to 2024.
"According to them, anyone in the opposition is corrupt, while those in BJP are clean. They have said those who are against the policies of the government are anti-national," he added.
He claimed, "In the last 10 years, 740 MLAs and MPs, mostly from the Congress, have joined the BJP on whom the saffron party directly or indirectly had leveled allegations of corruption. These people are now their favourite."
Taking further dig at the BJP, Bhattacharya said the saffron party had once given slogan of Congress Mukt Bharat and now it is Congress Yukt BJP.
"The BJP has adopted the adage either my way or highway' and Jharkhand is the best example for that. They (BJP) said tribal respect is utmost priority for them but they do not want tribal chief minister. If there is a tribal CM, his place will be in jail," Bhattacharya said.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.
Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.
A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
