<p>Central Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan emphasized the importance of the upcoming elections, stating, “The BJP’s comprehensive manifesto will be released soon, but these elections are not just about electing a Chief Minister. This election is about protecting ‘Roti’, ‘Beti’, and ‘Mati’, and we are committed to safeguarding them.” He raised concerns about the changing demographics in the region due to Bangladeshi infiltrators, noting that the tribal population in Santhal Pargana has plummeted from over 44% to 28%. Chouhan accused the Hemant Soren government of facilitating this influx for electoral gain, claiming they are issuing identity cards and registering infiltrators in voter lists. He reiterated their commitment to implementing NRC in Jharkhand to identify and expel these infiltrators to protect the land and the daughters of the region.</p>
