Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday accused the ruling JMM-led alliance of turning illegal immigrants into “vote banks” and promised to address the issue of infiltration if the BJP comes to power in the state.
Addressing an election rally in Jharkhand’s Giridih, he said, “We will wipe out Naxalism and infiltration from Jharkhand,” he said. “Every infiltrator will be deported.”
Shah claimed that the BJP would form the next government in Jharkhand, following the first phase of elections, and vowed to tackle corruption within the JMM-led coalition.
