Amit Shah on Friday flagged off BJP's Parivartan Yatra in Jharkhand ahead of the assembly elections. The party will launch six yatras from six regions of the state which will culminate on October 2 in Ranchi, when the party will organise a rally. These yatras will cover all the 81 assembly segments in 24 districts. Several national and state level leaders will participate in the different phases of the yatra.
Speaking at a public meeting in Sahibganj, Shah attacked the Hemant Soren government over corruption and appealed to the people of Jharkhand to vote for the BJP. «The change is not just about bringing the BJP government in place of JMM and Congress. The change is to remove this corrupt government and bring a government that will stop corruption.»
Shah emphasised that the state needs a BJP government which can work for the welfare of farmers and generate employment in the state so that tribal people are not forced to go outside to get a job.
Shah raised the issue of infiltration from Bangladesh and said that it is destroying the demography of the state. Shah alleged that the JMM government is silent on infiltrators as they are their vote bank.
