Hazaribagh, Oct 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the Parivartan Yatra at Hazaribagh’s Gandhi Maidan on Wednesday, called upon the people of Jharkhand to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming assembly elections to safeguard “roti, beti, and maati” (livelihood, daughters, and land).

“The BJP guarantees the protection of these three essentials – roti, beti, and maati – if we form the government. Today marks the beginning of a new dawn for Jharkhand,” said Modi.

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress-Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alliance, he said, “The Hemant-led government is hindering the state’s progress. This government has only betrayed and exploited Jharkhand’s natural resources.”

“This government has exploited water, forests, and land. Jharkhand can only progress if this government is ousted. The BJP’s Parivartan Yatra is more than a political movement; it is a Sankalp Yatra to fulfill the dreams of Jharkhand’s people,” Modi added.

Attacking the RJD, Modi said, “The RJD never wanted Jharkhand to exist. The RJD always wanted to loot the state, and it was backed by the Congress.”

Modi also stated that the JMM is not the same as it once was. “The JMM has forgotten its cause. It fought for Jharkhand and for the upliftment of its people, but now it has forgotten everything under the influence of the Congress and the RJD.”

Further targeting the JMM over Bangladeshi infiltration, Modi said, “Bhagwan Birsa Munda and other tribal leaders laid down their lives for independence. The JMM-led government is trying to change the demography of the state for its votes. Realtime example is Santhal Pargana where tribal and Hindu population is declining rapidly.”

The Prime Minister also accused the government of being a ‘paper-leak mafia.’ “This government is playing with the lives of thousands of youths by leaking papers. All the money collected is being distributed up to the top,” Modi added.
