Ahead of Assembly polls, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi warned voters in Jharkhand against BJP and alleged that the party is trying to snatch "jal, jungle, jameen (water, forest, land)" from tribal community members. "PM Modi calls you 'vanvasi' (forest dwellers) as BJP believes land, forest, and water belong to it...BJP believes in grabbing tribal land on...pretext of 'development'," he said.
