Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be fighting the assembly elections in Jharkhand on its biggest issue that Hindus and tribals are decreasing in the state. First the state leaders publicized this matter. Then, by making the issue of Land Jihad and Love Jihad, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was brought to Jharkhand by making him co-in-charge of the elections to accuse Bangladeshi infiltrators of changing the population structure of Jharkhand. Then Union Home Minister Amit Shah publicized this and now Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is making this allegation. However, when the Union Home Minister alleged that Bangladeshi infiltrators had reached Santhal Pargana in Jharkhand and carried out land and love jihad there, the question was asked that the security of the border is under the control of the Central Government, then from where would the Bangladeshi infiltrators come inside the country or in Jharkhand? Are coming.
However, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to Hazaribagh in Jharkhand on Wednesday, October 2, he also raised the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators and said that the tribals and Hindus are decreasing. He called for saving ‘Roti, Beti and Mati’. The question is how did the government or the BJP leaders know that tribals and Hindus are decreasing and Muslims are increasing? On the basis of which data is BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma claiming that like Assam, Muslims will become majority in some areas in Jharkhand too? The government does not have any official data. The last census was conducted in 2011, the data for which was collected in 2010. This means that the government does not have any data to prove any change that has taken place in the last 14 years. This means that this is not being said on the basis of statistics, but is being propagated to set a political narrative. If it is not so, then the government and BJP leaders should cite some figures. If the data is before 2011, then the question will arise that what did BJP do in its government after that? Has the BJP government at the Center and Jharkhand been able to expel even a single Bangladeshi infiltrator so far?
