Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday, just days before the Jharkhand Assembly elections. He also praised Babasaheb Ambedkar, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, and Mahatma Gandhi for granting constitutional rights and reservations.
“PM Modi doesn’t see the good things the others have. He sees only 2 big people and Amit Shah. No one can speak in the cabinet. Only PM Modi can speak and Amit Shah will do. All the powers are with him…,” Kharge alleged while addressing a gathering in Jharkhand’s Kanke.”…A few people forget that the reservation that has been given, be it to SC, ST or OBC, or the rights that have been constitutionally given – for this the credit goes to those who gave us the freedom – Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Babasaheb Ambedkar…,” Kharge told the gathering.
Later in the day, while addressing a gathering in Jharkhand’s Mandu, Kharge took potshots at PM Modi, Amit Shah and other leaders of the party for gathering and campaigning in a state as small as Jharkhand.”…In the Jharkhand elections, PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and many ministers are campaigning here. There are 81 assembly seats in Jharkhand but ministers and Chief Ministers from Assam and other parts of India are campaigning in Jharkhand. In such a small election like this, leaders have gathered in large numbers. If leaders in large numbers would have campaigned in the parliamentary elections it would have made sense but in Jharkhand Assembly elections, as many ministers are roaming as the number of our candidates,” he said.
The Congress chief said that Hemant Soren will again become the Chief Minister.He said, “Their (BJP) objective is to snatch Jharkhand and come to power and remove a tribal CM…They will not be able to remove the Jharkhand government from power. Hemant Soren will become the CM of Jharkhand again…”
Two rounds of voting will be held for the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly on November 13 and 20. The votes will be counted on November 23.
