Ranchi: Jharkhand Congress alleged that the BJP is attempting to create political uncertainty in non-BJP-ruled states using central agencies. State Congress in-charge Ghulam Ahmad Mir said on Thursday that central agencies are making similar attempts in Jharkhand and trying to instil a sense of political uncertainty among people.
"But, people of Jharkhand understand the meaning of all these attempts," he said.
Talking to reporters here, he alleged that the BJP tried to destabilise elected governments in states where it has been rejected by the people.
The AICC general secretary was here to review the preparations for Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is beginning in Manipur on January 14.
The 6,713-km yatra from Manipur to Mumbai is set to start on January 14. It will pass through 110 districts in 15 states, covering 100 Lok Sabha seats and 337 assembly segments. In Jharkhand, it will cover 804 km in 13 districts in eight days, Mir said.
"The exact date of entry of Nyay Yatra to Jharkhand will be finalised in a day or two," he said.
On January 7, Jharkhand Congress president Rajesh Thakur said the yatra is expected to enter Jharkhand between February 2 and 5.
"Unemployment is at an extreme level in the country. Crores of youths are jobless. Modi government had promised to provide two crore jobs every year. But, what happened after ten years is the unemployment rate is the highest in the country," Mir alleged.
Similarly, prices of even basic commodities such as rice, pulses and flour are skyrocketing. "Women are facing problems even to run their kitchen due to price rise," he said.
He alleged that atrocities on women have increased, farmers are not getting adequate MSP for their crops, and discrimination is being created among downtrodden people.
