BJP snatching jal, jungle, jameen from tribals: Rahul Gandhi

Deccan Chronicle  

NEW DELHI/SIMDEGA/LOHARDAGA : Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday addressed two rallies in Jharkhand’s Simdega and Lohardaga, claiming that the impending elections are a "battle of ideology". As the BJP charged ahead with bringing in the saffron party's heavyweights in the poll-bound state, the Congress “star campaigner” tugged at local sentiment by accusing the saffron party of trying to snatch "jal, jungle, jameen" from the tribals. Ahead of Union home minister Amit Shah's rally in Chhatarpur on Saturday and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Jamshedpur on Sunday, the Congress leader at Simdega rally said, "Mr Modi calls you ‘Vanvasi’, as the BJP believes that land, forest and water belong to the saffron party, the RSS and capitalists. If I am wrong in raising the voice for 90 per cent of India's population, which constitutes tribals, Dalits and OBCs, for their participation in governance, I will continue to do so," Mr Gandhi claimed.
