When Babulal Marandi took over as BJP state president, the JMM launched a frontal attack on him saying that if he continues till 2024, the BJP, which won only one Koderma seat in the 2004 assembly elections, will not win a single seat in the assembly elections.
JMM spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya launched the attack at a press conference at the Harmu party office barely five-and-a-half hours after Marandi took over and expressed his intention to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive term.
The JMM leader said it was worrying that the BJP, which claims to be the world's largest political party, failed to pick one BJP legislature party chief and party president from among ordinary party workers and was dependent on exported leaders like Marandi. for the same.
The JMM leader said that Marandi is the same person who called BJP bad for 14 years and whom former Chief Minister Raghubar Das cursed when he said that BJP made them to be ministers from 'Tisri duniya (Third World) but failed. get a vote from "Tisri Village".
Quoting his friends in the BJP, JMM leader Bhattacharya said that with the entry of Marandi, the BJP had split into five groups, including the old BJP, Raghubar's BJP, Arjun's BJP, JVM BJP and the new BJP led by outgoing party president Deepak Prakash.
The BJP appointed President Marandi to ensure his ouster after the BJP's defeat in 2024 and pave the way for an outside chief minister,” Bhattacharya said. Sharing his observation, the JMM leader said that there are three BJPs in the state. These three include Bahari BJP, Munda BJP, and the new JVM BJP.
During a press conference, Bhattacharya recalled the death of three tribal members during the violence over the residency issue on July 24, 2002, when Marandi was the chief minister, and the firing incident that occurred during Marandi's regime. Notably, Marandi, in his speech this afternoon, asked a party worker to tell the tribals how BJP created Jharkhand. Bhattacharya said that the tribals know well that Jharkhand was not gifted but was enthralled by sacrifice and struggle.
The JMM leader also pointed out the mistakes of the BJP government on the occasion. He said people will ask Marandi about his 14-year political career outside the BJP, during which he kept winning assembly seats by misleading people against the BJP, and after his JVM's party seats were reduced to three in the last assembly elections, merged seats in the council. party with the BJP.
