BJP’s Shehzad Poonawalla Criticizes Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren Over RSS Remarks
New Delhi, India – BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla launched a strong criticism against Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for his comments on the RSS. Soren had referred to RSS workers as ‘chooha’ (rats) during a rally on September 25 in Jharkhand.
Poonawalla questioned Soren’s silence on the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators in Santhal Pargana, suggesting that Soren’s stance is influenced by his vote bank. Poonawalla said, “Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren calls nationalists and people elected by the public ‘chooha’. But he doesn’t say anything about the Bangladeshi infiltrators who enter Santhal Pargana and encroach on land, because this pertains to his vote bank.”
During his rally, Soren dismissed BJP’s allegations of demographic changes in Jharkhand and suggested that BJP should examine data from neighboring West Bengal. Soren stated, “Assam CM comes to Jharkhand and criticises the state’s people and state government…We will give a befitting reply…They will talk about changing demography and Bangladeshi infiltrators. I would like to tell them to look at the data of the Government of India to determine how the numbers have changed in which district and which state. Go and see what the data is in Bengal. Then see the data of various districts in Jharkhand. You would find that there is no change in the demography here.”
Reacting to Soren’s remarks, Poonawalla pointed out that Soren indirectly acknowledged demographic changes in West Bengal, which has been governed by the Left and the TMC, not the BJP. Poonawalla said, “He said that no demographic change has occurred in Jharkhand, it has happened in West Bengal. Who has had governments in West Bengal? Not BJP. Left, followed by the TMC. So, he has accepted that there has been a demographic change in West Bengal, which was ruled by the Left as well as Mamata Banerjee.”
Poonawalla also criticized the INDIA bloc, stating that one party within the alliance is targeting another. He said, “It means that one party of INDI Alliance is targeting another party of the alliance. No mission, no vision, no common part, only ambition, their own confusion and their own corruption…Did he attack them inadvertently or deliberately? He knows it. But the truth has come out that a demographic change in West Bengal has indeed occurred. But the question is that this is happening in Jharkhand as well and the High Court too has said the same. Hemant Soren should speak on this.”
