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.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.

“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.

The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.

Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
