Ranchi, April 4: Kalpana Soren, the wife of jailed former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, on Thursday claimed that the BJP will push the state into backwardness if it returns to power at the Centre.
Soren was in Hazaribag participating in the 45th foundation day celebrations of the JMM party.
Addressing a gathering, she said, “The dictatorial force, which is in front of you at the Centre, has made Jharkhand a stepson. If the BJP comes to power again and if you make BJP leaders win from here, it will further push Jharkhand into backwardness.” She alleged that the BJP “doesn’t like Jharkhand and hates people of the state”.
“They don’t like us to talk to them eye-to-eye with self-respect. They don’t like that any student from Jharkhand goes abroad for study,” she claimed.
She urged people to support Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) candidates so that Jharkhand could be “progressing the way it is growing now”.
She also alleged that BJP had governed the state for maximum period but had done little to remove the backward tag on the state.
Chief Minister Champai Soren, who was also scheduled to participate in the programme, said he could not take part in the JMM’s foundation day programme in Hazaribag “due to some unavoidable reasons”.
