BJP wants to divide Jharkhand, alleges Hemant Soren

Ranchi: Chief Minister Hemant Soren alleged that the BJP was planning to divide Jharkhand, but it would not be successful.

He said the attempts to "break" Jharkhand will be thwarted by the people in this election.

"Leaders of BJP are camping in the state but they don't utter a word for development, progress and peace in Jharkhand. They are only dividing people in the name of religion," Soren posted on X.

साथी झारखंडियों,

भाजपा के बड़े-बड़े नेता राज्य में कैंप कर रहे हैं पर मजाल है कि झारखंड के विकास, तरक्की एवं शांति के लिए एक शब्द बोल दें। वे सिर्फ धर्म के नाम पर लोगों को बांट रहे हैं।

Accusing the BJP of trying to carve out the Santhal Parganas from Jharkhand, he said the people would give them a befitting reply.

"The holy land of Lord Ram, by the grace of God, has broken the pride of dictators like Ravana -- Jharkhand will also break their pride because they want to break Jharkhand," he said Soren alleged that the BJP was dividing the Santhals as they wanted to "erase our history".

"They want to erase our heritage from Bhognadih, Deoghar, Basukinath, which are symbols of our faith and belief," he alleged.

He said that Jharkhand would not be divided, and the Santhals would remain united and be with the state.
