Marandi blasts Hemant govt for corruption and demographic shifts
Babulal Marandi said that the “Mahagathbandhan” government has severely damaged Jharkhand’s self-respect, dignity, and identity over the past five years. Jharkhand’s identity has traditionally been associated with honesty, truth, and hard work. However, the Hemant Soren government has tarnished this image, turning Jharkhand into a symbol of looting, corruption, and scandals involving money.
He criticized the Hemant government for not only exploiting resources like mines and land but also corrupting central welfare schemes such as the Nirmal Jal Yojana.
He also claimed that the government has become a protector of Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, leading to unexpected demographic changes in the state. The indigenous population has rapidly declined, while the Muslim population has increased.
Through the Parivartan Yatra, he emphasized that the public will demand answers from Hemant Soren, asking for accountability for the past five years.
He highlighted that over 1,800 acres of land have been fraudulently acquired, with transactions exceeding 3,000 crore rupees in violation of the CNT Act. These activities are reportedly linked to Kolkata.
He concluded by affirming that the state’s youth and women are determined to drive change in Jharkhand.
