RANCHI: Jharkhand BJP kicked off its state-wide ‘Akrosh’ rally from Ranchi on Monday against the Hemant Soren led UPA government in the state.

Hundreds of BJP workers congregate­d at the city’s Morabadi ground and later they marched towards the district collectora­te raising slogans ‘Hemant Hatao, Jharkhand Bachao.’ The agitation was led by BJP state president Deepak Prakash.

Addressing party workers, Prakash said, “The Hemant Soren led ruling coalition -JMM, Congress and RJD—is a team of ‘Ali Baba Chalis Chor.’ The corruption is at its peak under Soren’s regime. Mines and minerals including sand, stone, coal and iron are being looted.” He said, “The current government is anti-women, tribal and dalit. Crime against women has increased manifold in the state in past 34 months. The unemployme­nt is at its peak.” The BJP’s Akrosh rally, which started on Monday, will continue till November 25.

“Such demonstrat­ion will be organized at headquarte­rs of all 24 districts in the state till November 25 to make people aware about corruption and anti-people policies of the government,” BJP spokespers­on Pratul Shahdeo said.
