Dhanbad, Feb 26: BJP legislature party leader and former chief minister Babulal Marandi today charged that Hemant Soren-led government is using languages for vote bank politics in the state.
Marandi, who was talking to media persons at the residence of former Giridih MP Ravindra Pandey in Fusro of Boaro district on Saturday along with BJP state president Deepak Prakash, said that the BJP believes and respects all the languages but the Hemant Soren government is using language for vote politics and creates controversy.
“For vote bank politics, the state government has included Urdu in the list of regional languages in all 24 districts of Jharkhand that is nothing but for political gain,” commented the former chief minister over the removal of Bhopuri and Magahi from regional languages list in Bokaro and Dhanbad.
Babulal Marandi said the state government has failed on all fronts and charged that the state government has made the police mechanism a tool for collecting money. Law and order have completely broken down in the state. Women feel insecure and youths’ exodus from Jharkhand has increased to an all-time high.
On the occasion, Jharkhand BJP president Deepak Prakash (MP) claimed that his party is going to win all five states along with Uttar Pradesh with a thumping majority. The BJP senior leaders had come to Bokaro to pay homage to party leader Kapildeo Singh in DVC Bermo Mines.
Bokaro MLA Biranchi Narayan, Ravindra Pandey, district president Bharat Yadav and other leaders of the BJP were also present on the occasion.
