Ranchi, 26 August (HS). Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya on Monday targeted the BJP and said that Himanta Biswa Sarma has come to Jharkhand to teach law without any knowledge. He should tell whether the farmers' movement was happening in Pakistan. This is the same Himanta whose party put nails on the roads to stop the farmers' agitators. Barbed wire and concrete barriers were installed. Where was Himanta Biswa Sarma then?
Supriyo reminded that during the farmers' movement, 42 cases were registered in Delhi. Whereas, 138 cases were registered in Haryana. In total, 180 FIRs were registered in one movement. Cases were registered in the name of named and lakhs of unknown people. Actually, Himanta should have said that we are scared. We cannot face JMM. We cannot face Hemant Soren.
Supriyo Bhattacharya said in a press conference that elections are to be held in four states this year. Jharkhand is one of them. First Jammu and Kashmir was divided.
He said that democracy was hurt. Now elections are being held there after the matter came to the notice of the Supreme Court. The Election Commission has announced the dates of elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. The code of conduct has also been implemented in both these states. Meanwhile, the Haryana BJP state president has written a letter to the Election Commission. In this, he has demanded the Commission to change the date of the elections to be held on a certain date in Haryana.
Supriyo said that this is the first time in the history of the country that the leader of the ruling party in the centre is demanding a change in the date of the election. The reason for this is that the BJP is afraid of coming in front of the people. Therefore, it wants to postpone or delay the election. Its effect was also seen in Jharkhand. Here, on the 23rd, they held a rally. Many miscreants belonging to the BJP were present in this rally. They attacked the security personnel and police administration of the state. Such people were controlled by firing tear gas shells. These people came wearing gloves and had brought cutters with them. Stones were thrown by these miscreants. Stones were thrown with the intention of killing the police personnel. He said that everyone has the video of this.
