Yogi Adityanath accuses Jharkhand Government of resource mismanagement, threatens bulldozer action

UP News: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ignited political flames once again by issuing a stern "bulldozer" warning during his visit to Jamtara, Jharkhand. This remark comes just days after the Supreme Court issued guidelines to curb arbitrary demolitions by authorities across India, a method that Adityanath has often been associated with in his tenure as the UP CM. His speech, filled with strong rhetoric, aimed at the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led coalition, accusing them of rampant corruption and resource mismanagement.

Accusations of Looting and Infiltration

Addressing a crowd, Adityanath alleged that Jharkhand's ruling coalition had been "looting" the state's natural resources and funds sent by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to him, the state is facing severe threats due to the unchecked influx of Bangladeshi migrants and Rohingyas. He emphasized that these issues jeopardized the safety of “beti, mati, roti” (girls, land, and food).

The Chief Minister declared that the "bulldozer" was on standby, ready to reclaim what he considered to be the looted funds and resources. He accused the JMM-led government of facilitating the “rampant extraction” of natural resources, with mafia activities allegedly flourishing under their watch, leaving Jharkhand “hollowed out.”

Land Jihad and Love Jihad Claims

Continuing his fiery criticism, Adityanath alleged that the JMM government supported “infiltrators” who were involved in “land jihad” and “love jihad.” He declared that if the BJP’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came to power, it would not hesitate to take action against such forces. These remarks highlight the growing political polarization in the region, with the BJP pushing its nationalist agenda while accusing its opponents of undermining national security and cultural values.

Ram Mandir and the Mathura Connection

Adityanath also pointed to the opposition, specifically accusing Congress of obstructing the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. He highlighted that the next religious focus for the BJP would be the Krishna Kanhaiya Temple in Mathura, signaling the party’s commitment to continuing its religious and cultural agenda. With Jharkhand's assembly elections nearing the final phase, Adityanath’s remarks are poised to intensify the political discourse, as the state gears up for its second phase of voting.
