JMM-led govt 'patronising' infiltration, BJP to implement NRC: Chouhan

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday accused the JMM-led government of "patronising" Bangladeshi infiltrators and said that BJP would implement National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state if voted to power.

He claimed that Jharkhand was in danger and 'mati' (land), 'beti' (daughter) and 'roti' (bread) were insecure.

"The BJP is not concerned about coming to power only. Jharkhand is in danger today, 'maati', 'beti', 'roti' are insecure. It is our pledge to protect them," the Union Agriculture minister said at Ranchi's Birsa Munda Airport while leaving for Delhi.

Chouhan, who is also election in-charge for Jharkhand, alleged there has been infiltration from foreign land and Hemant Soren-led government patronising them by making their Aadhaar and voter identity cards.

"Infiltrators are coming to Jharkhand, marrying daughters here, purchasing land and increasing their influence in local bodies. This is very dangerous and it is ruining Jharkhand," he said.
