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.

Mumbai (PTI): The initial report submitted by the microbiology department of a Mumbai-based state-run hospital has said no "bacterial infection" was detected in the bodies of four family members, who died after consuming watermelon recently, officials said on Wednesday.

The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am (on April 26), hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.

They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.

After the incident, Mumbai police, forensic experts and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials visited the house and had collected samples of every food item that constituted the family's last meal, including 'chicken pulav', watermelon, water, and other foodstuffs, and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis.

After the post-mortem of the deceased, their viscera was preserved for chemical analysis.

As the probe is underway, the microbiology department of the state-run J J Hospital has submitted its initial report to the police.

"As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood," the official said.

The exact cause of the death will be known once the forensic science lab submits its report, he said.

"The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous," the official said.
