Will Implement NRC In Jharkhand, Says Union Minister Shivraj Chouhan

As the political heat rises in poll-bound Jharkhand, Union Minister and BJP incharge for the state, Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Monday that they will implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state as Chief Minister Hemant Soren-led state government is favouring infiltrators.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, while speaking to ANI emphasized that they are determined to protect 'Roti, Mati aur Beti.'

"BJP is going to release its election manifesto. This election is not only about making someone a CM or of power, but it is about saving Jharkhand. We are determined to protect 'Roti, Mati aur Beti'. Due to the infiltrators from Bangladesh, the demography of the region is changing rapidly. Earlier, the tribal population in the Santhal region was more than 44 per cent. Now, it has been reduced to 28 per cent. The population is badly affected by these infiltrators," he said.
