Claiming that the countdown for Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's exit has begun, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday promised to set a committee in the state to identify and uproot "infiltrators" besides restoring the pride of tribal leader Champai Soren.
Hemant Babu, countdown for your exit has begun', says HM Amit Shah

Addressing an election rally at Seraikella on the last day of campaigning for the first phase of voting in Jharkhand on November 13, the Home Minister said Champai Soren was insulted by Hemant Soren by removing him from the Chief Minister's post but let me remind him, "Hemant Babu, your days are numbered as the countdown for your exit has begun".

He also promised that the BJP would never allow the Congress to increase the Muslim quota, based on its Maharashtra model, and shrink the reservation for Jharkhand's tribals, Dalits and OBCs.

"You tell me, should the reservation for these sections be allowed to be cut?" he asked the audience at the packed venue.
