Accusations of Anti-Tribal, Anti-Indigenous Politics Against BJP
Meanwhile, JMM General Secretary Vinod Pandey launched a scathing attack on the BJP, alleging that the party is plotting to divide tribals and indigenous people in the state under the guise of Bangladeshi infiltration. He accused the BJP of a calculated conspiracy to disrupt Jharkhand's unity.
Questioning Central Government Policies
He stated that the real aim of the Special Task Force formed by the central government is to intimidate and weaken the tribal community. Pandey also alleged that the BJP never recognized the Sarna religion code during its tenure, a major demand of the tribal community.
