Tribal women hit streets over Nisha Bhagat’s death

The suspicious death of tribal leader Nisha Bhagat has sparked intense political momentum across Jharkhand.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to intensify its agitation, demanding an immediate Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry.

Sunny Toppo, state president of the BJP Scheduled Tribe Morcha, announced a phased protest roadmap during a press conference.

Toppo declared that the party will continue its agitation until authorities deliver justice and initiate a CBI probe.

Outlining the schedule, Toppo announced that activists will hold torchlight processions across South Chotanagpur division districts on November 10.

Tribal women will organize a candlelight march on November 11 to pay tribute to the late leader.

Party workers will then conduct a statewide torchlight procession across Jharkhand on November 17.

Following this, the party will enforce a complete bandh across all South Chotanagpur division districts on November 18.

BJP leader Ram Kumar Pahan highlighted that killers have murdered several tribal leaders in Jharkhand over recent years.

He lamented that police investigators have left many of these high-profile murder cases completely unsolved.

Pahan alleged that police officials failed to take necessary action despite registering an FIR in Bhagat’s death case.

He asserted that BJP workers will carry this movement to every single village and household in the state.

Meanwhile, former BJP Mahila Morcha state president Aarti Kujur praised Bhagat as a vocal and forthright tribal voice.

Kujur noted that Bhagat actively defended tribal rights over water, forests, and land while opposing religious conversions.

She affirmed that women will take to the streets to secure justice for their slain colleague.

Kujur vowed that justice marches will persist until authorities conduct an impartial investigation and punish the culprits.
