Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Hemant Soren on Saturday, 19 January, called for “uprooting” the BJP from the country at the Mamata Banerjee-led Opposition’s United India Rally organised by Trinamool Congress.
Soren, while addressing the Mahagathbandhan rally, asked the opposition parties to give a “fitting” reply to the “communal” party in the next Lok Sabha polls.
‘Dangerous Situation for the Country’
The way BJP is running the country will create a "violent and disturbing time for the country," the former chief minister of Jharkhand said.
“We the opposition parties have to give a fitting reply to the communal reply to the communal forces ... We will have to uproot BJP not only from the Centre but also from the states.”

Referring to tribal Jharkhand, he said the ruling BJP there was working against the adivasis and “we must get rid of it.”
