File photo NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Jagat Prasad Nadda, addressing an election rally in Jharkhand’s Bishrampur on Saturday, pledged that if the BJP is elected to power, it would prevent children of Bangladeshi infiltrator fathers and local Adivasi mothers from accessing tribal rights . Nadda accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led government of harboring Bangladeshi infiltrators and vowed to drive them out of the state. "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 asserted to the crowd. He went on to criticize the current JMM-led government, saying, “Corrupt people and thieves are part of the JMM-led government in the state.” Nadda urged voters to replace what he termed the “single-engine government” with a “double-engine government” for Jharkhand’s comprehensive development under the BJP’s leadership.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's influence on India’s global standing, Nadda highlighted a recent statement from US President-elect Donald Trump, who described Modi as a “close friend,” reflecting India’s elevated image internationally. Nadda also cited economic strides under Modi’s leadership, noting that India now ranks second in steel manufacturing and fifth in the mobile phone market globally. "The budget for highways was increased by 50 percent under PM Modi," he added.
