00:00There have been two back-to-back rallies in Saraikela, one by former CM Champai Soren and the other by current CM Hemant Soren.

00:11Both these rallies were conducted within a kilometre.

00:15It seems that even a few hours prior to the end of the election, there was a strong campaign going on.

00:23We have some Saraikela residents with us who have met us on the Saraikela-Tata highway.

00:30Do you know what kind of atmosphere is here?

00:33I am from the district of Saraikela.

00:37Today, you can see that we have come to Saraikela from Adityapur.

00:42In the past, we used to see how shiny the roads were.

00:51Now, look at the roads.

00:53Has the government taken any action in the last five years?

00:56There has only been looting and plundering.

00:59There has been no development.

01:01That is why the general public is hopeful that some action will be taken in the near future.

01:07Look at the atmosphere here in Adityapur and Rajnagar.

01:14We are sure that we are winning the Saraikela seat.

01:19We are behind the margin.

01:21How big can the margin be?

01:23The more the margin, the better.

01:27And this victory is for sure.

01:30Champai has said that he has been very busy.

01:33You have been in Saraikela for a long time.

01:36You have been in Saraikela for a long time.

01:39Do you feel that the people of Saraikela are standing with you?

01:42Absolutely.

01:43The organization is the best party.

01:46The government is in the center.

01:51If there is a government of double union, the work will be done very quickly.

01:54The people have already known this.

01:56And the government of double union is also going.

01:58This is a good thing.

02:00Thank you very much.

02:01Let's take one last question from him.

02:03Saraikela is a small area of Ranchi and Katangar.

02:10So, the population is very less.

02:12What do you think?

02:13How much will the government invest in the development of the population?

02:16And will it be able to bring the B.M.M.P.U. and B.D.P.U. in Saraikela?

02:19Look, the biggest thing is that...

02:22This is the first question.

02:24This is the Kurhan area.

02:26There are many tribal people here.

02:31And then the Mughal people come here.

02:33If you remember, in 2019, the B.M.M.P.U. was formed for the first time.

02:38And within 24 hours after the government was formed,

02:437 tribal people were killed in Chaiwasa area.

02:55After that, their corpses were thrown away.

03:00But in 2019, people believed that

03:05the government would definitely work for the population.

03:12But within 24 hours, it was found that...

03:17It's been 24 years now.

03:21But there is no conclusion yet.

03:24This was my first question.

03:26Secondly, if you look at the state,

03:29if there is a big tribal movement,

03:33then it is formed.

03:35You see, what has been repeatedly said by the opposition,

03:39that the B.M.M.P.U. is concerned about the Bangladeshi population.

03:45But you see, we have also been in the environment.

03:48We have also got the opportunity to go to Santhal.

03:52We have seen how day by day,

03:55the criteria for the Bangladeshi population is increasing.

04:01The movement is increasing.

04:03And you see, how many chiefs they have married to fight for the Panchayat elections.

04:07After that, how much power was in the hands of a chief.

04:11You see, what a big plan it is.

04:13But the government has been completely unsuccessful in stopping it.

04:16And the reason for this is that today,

04:18a high court bench questioned the government.

04:22The government was asked to provide an affidavit

04:28that there was no Bangladeshi movement in the district.

04:33But unfortunately, a year ago,

04:36after 8-9 months,

04:38the government did not have the courage to provide an affidavit.

04:43That no, I am sure there is a Bangladeshi movement in this area.

04:48You can find out from this,

04:50what is the mentality of the government.

04:52Today, the Bangladeshi people are marrying tribal girls.

04:57Then they are stealing their land.

04:59They are registering their names.

05:02But today, not just Santhal,

05:05there are some areas of Kolkata as well.

05:08Today, the whole of Jharkhand is burning with Kolkata.

05:14And somehow, people have realized

05:18that this government is only for the benefit of the tribals.

05:22For example, Hemant Sooran is the head of the tribal family.

05:26Champai Sooran is also the head of the tribal family.

05:29Now, Champai is the head of the tribal family.

05:33Okay, in their 5-year tenure,

05:36even though we were in opposition at that time,

05:38but we also admire the fact that

05:40they were the head of the government for our district.

05:43They took some historic decisions.

05:46But what was the compulsion that

05:49you couldn't wait for another 3-4 months.

05:51You should have let them continue.

05:53Your father's age was equal to the political age.

05:57But your political quickness was such

06:01that you removed them from the roof.

06:04You removed them with great respect.

06:06And today, we are seeing.

06:07And they said that Champai is winning the Saraikala seat.

06:11It's just a game of margins.

06:13But I want to tell you that

06:15we are standing here.

06:17This is the Kharswan Vidhan Sabha.

06:19And from here, Bhajpa Bhadkasi Sonara Muthra.

06:22So, I want to tell you that

06:25today, with Saraikala,

06:27the Bharatiya Janata Party is going to win the Kharswan seat.

06:31And you must have seen on social media

06:34that the local MPs,

06:36Mr. Jharkhand Mukti, Mr. Rasrat Gagrai,

06:39you must have seen their excitement

06:41on how the Bhajpa's party members

06:43are being attacked.

06:45Then, on them,

06:47on various places,

06:49people are protesting against them

06:51against the MLA.

06:53Because he was given a chance for 10 years.

06:55He was such a person that

06:57in this area, he defeated

06:59a traitor leader,

07:01Mr. Arjun Mata.

07:03But today,

07:05in Jharkhand,

07:07it was a dream that

07:09he defeated such a great leader.

07:11So, in Vidhan Sabha,

07:13everyone was eager to see him.

07:15At that time, I was doing politics

07:17at the college level.

07:19But, today, it is unfortunate

07:21that in these 10 years,

07:23in Kharswan Vidhan Sabha,

07:25except for the tender manager,

07:27there is no such development.

07:29When Arjun Munda was the CM here,

07:31there was a wave of development.

07:33You have said it.

07:35I would like to stay here.

07:37Thank you very much for talking to us.

07:39One thing that is clear is that

07:41when it comes to tribal rights,

07:43in rural areas,

07:45in rural areas,

07:47there is a lot of movement.

07:49Especially, the people of Champa

07:51who come from Saraikela,

07:53there is a lot of movement

07:55in Bhajpa, in Samarco,

07:57and in the voters here.

07:59For Pankaj Manmishra,

08:01for One India News, Jharkhand.
