Ranchi, Jharkhand: Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the Bharatiya Janata Party's Sankalp Patra (manifesto) for the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections on Sunday. 

During the event, he expressed concerns about the safety of tribals in the state, stating, "During Hemant Soren's government, the tribals of Jharkhand are not safe."

Shah highlighted that the number of tribals in Santhal Pargana is continuously declining, attributing this to the infiltration of outsiders who he claimed are luring local daughters and occupying their land. "If this is not stopped, then neither the culture of Jharkhand, nor the employment, land, or daughters here will be safe," he added. The BJP's campaign will focus on securing "Roti, Beti, Maati" (bread, daughters, and land), he noted.

"This election in Jharkhand is not just an election to change the government, but an election to ensure the future of Jharkhand. The people of Jharkhand have to decide whether they want a government full of corruption or a BJP government moving forward on the path of development under the leadership of PM Modi. Do they want a government that endangers the identity, land and women of Jharkhand by allowing infiltration or do they want a Bharatiya Janata Party government that protects the borders," Amit Shah said, after releasing the BJP's Sankalp Patra event in Ranchi.

Shah further said that the backward classes, the poor, the tribals, the Dalits are looking towards the BJP's 'Sankalp Patra' with great hope.

"We are releasing the 'Sankalp Patra' today, the Bharatiya Janata Party stands out from all other parties. Because the Bharatiya Janata Party is the only party in the country's politics that does what it says. Whenever the Bharatiya Janata Party has come to power, we have fulfilled all the resolutions. This is our track record and that is why the people of Jharkhand, especially the backward classes, the poor, the tribals, the Dalits are looking towards our 'Sankalp Patra' with great hope," he added.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Sanjay Seth, and BJP Jharkhand president Babulal Marandi were also present at the manifesto launch. 

BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo said that in the manifesto all the groups of Jharkhand including farmers, women, youths, infrastructure and developmental subjects, everything will be included.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma earlier said that the Sankalp Patra will have 150 resolutions.

Elections for 81 seats in the Jharkhand Assembly will be conducted in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with the counting of votes scheduled for November 23.
