Jharkhand Election 2024 / CM Hemant Soren hit back at BJP's slogan 'If we divide, we will be cut', know what he said

Jharkhand Election 2024: The bugle for assembly elections has been sounded in Jharkhand and all the political parties have stepped up their election campaign. Ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader and Chief Minister Hemant Soren has fiercely targeted the opposition party BJP. Talking to the media at his residential office in the capital Ranchi on Saturday, Soren launched a scathing attack on the BJP's 'Bantenge to Katenge' slogan. He claimed that this time the people of Jharkhand are ready to make the BJP taste the defeat.

Sharp attack on BJP

Chief Minister Hemant Soren hit back at the BJP's slogan and said, "Neither will anyone divide here nor will let anyone divide. But BJP will definitely be crushed in the elections." This statement of Soren clearly shows his determination towards electoral competition. He accused the BJP of trying to disrupt the social unity of Jharkhand, but the people will not let their divisive agenda succeed.

Expressed displeasure over the raids by the Income Tax Department

Amidst the election atmosphere, on Saturday, the Income Tax Department raided nine places in Jharkhand, including a close aide of Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Soren also targeted the BJP over this raid and called it politically motivated. He said, "This campaign of the Income Tax Department is completely part of the political vendetta of the BJP. They know that the public is ready to answer them, and due to this fear they are taking such action."

BJP called the raids a legal action

Meanwhile, the BJP also responded and said that the action of the Income Tax Department is being done completely under the law and its aim is to curb tax evasion. BJP leaders say that the state government is trying to hide corruption and is making baseless allegations against the BJP.

The BJP spokesperson said, "This move of the Income Tax Department is completely legal, and there is no political interference of any kind in it. If the Jharkhand government is clean, then they should support this investigation."

Increasing heat in the election atmosphere

The atmosphere in the state is getting heated as the assembly elections approach. While on the one hand Hemant Soren and his party JMM are emphasizing on the issues of development of the state, tribal rights and social unity, the BJP is also focusing on its development agenda and anti-corruption campaign. The electoral battle between the two parties seems to be getting quite intense.

What do political analysts say?

Political analysts believe that there is going to be a direct contest between Hemant Soren and BJP in the upcoming elections. Hemant Soren's such attack on BJP reflects his confidence, which has come from his good performance in the previous elections and the support of the public. However, BJP is also leaving no stone unturned to return to power in the state.

Conclusion

This time the assembly elections in Jharkhand will not only decide the political direction of the state, but will also make it clear how important the issues of social unity, development and transparency are for the public. From the kind of statements being made during the election campaign, it is clear that these issues are being hotly debated among the people of Jharkhand.
