Ranchi: Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren said in a message from jail that the BJP is trying to topple governments in opposition-ruled states, but democracy cannot be allowed to fail, which was shared by his wife Kalpana in Ranchi on Sunday. Read in mega rally.



She was speaking at the 'Ulgulan Nyaya' rally of opposition group India, which was attended by leaders of 28 parties.



"Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and my husband Hemant Soren were jailed just before the elections by forces who were conspiring against their governments," she said.



Reading out her husband's message, she said, "Central agencies like E and CBI are being misused to suppress the voice of the opposition, but BJP and social forces will be thrown out of Jharkhand."



Soren was arrested by the ED on January 31 in a money laundering case related to an alleged land fraud, soon after his resignation as chief minister."In their (BJP) 10-year tenure, they have the most cruel evil eye on the tribal communities and their notified areas. For example, Manipur has been burning for the last several months. The dignity of tribal daughters and daughters-in-law has been compromised there. The whole country is watching but the central government has not paid attention to it till date.



Reading out her husband's message, Kalpana said, the BJP government had promised to include Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, but it was not given to the people of that region.It reads, "If NDA wins the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, there will be a big threat to the tribals of the state and the country. To save Jharkhand at any cost is to save the country."



He claimed that delimitation was proposed after the formation of the state in 2000, but it was not done despite massive protests.

Apart from paving the way for 27 per cent reservation for backward classes, the former CM also stressed the need to implement the Sarna religious code in Jharkhand.

“The people of Jharkhand will keep fighting for their rights until they get theirs… We will fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections strongly and win… BJP has to be thrown out of Jharkhand.,



Kalpana Soren is likely to contest the by-election from Gandeya assembly seat, which is scheduled to be held on May 20.
