Ranchi: BJP has launched a sharp attack on JMM, with state spokesperson Ajay Sah accusing Hemant government of protecting Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators while using fabricated excuses to evict poor and homeless citizens. He claimed that JMM cleverly cites a letter from the central government requesting eviction but ignores documents urging rehabilitation of vulnerable families under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. According to him, the central government’s policy is transparent—rehabilitate the poor and remove infiltrators—but the state government, without any rehabilitation plan, is evicting residents and shifting blame onto the center.
Sah further alleged that both the central government and Jharkhand High Court have directed the state multiple times to remove infiltrators, but the government has evaded action. He accused the administration of targeting families who have lived in Ranchi for 40–50 years and blamed the absence of municipal elections for stalling housing schemes meant for the poor. He also cited corruption worth crores of rupees by state and municipal officials in ongoing projects.
He stressed that eviction should only occur after ensuring rehabilitation and preventing unauthorized construction in those areas. He accused the state government of acting along religious lines—alleging that illegal encroachments by a particular community in Ranchi are ignored, while Hindu families are consistently targeted.
Ajay Sah concluded by saying that the state’s double standards are now visible to the public and that citizens will respond strongly against the government in the days ahead.
