Jostling for Tribal Trust

Returning to the state on October 2, just a fortnight after his September 15 show in Jamshedpur, Modi unveiled key initiatives and prophesied the "beginning of change" at a rally in Hazaribagh. The term of the current assembly is set to expire on January 5, and the election has to be completed before then.

Modi opened his 41-minute address with Jai Johar', the traditional greeting used by the Santhal community and other Adivasi groups. He emphasised Jharkhand's role in safeguarding the legacy of tribal hero Birsa Munda, weaving local pride into his broader narrative of change and progress. The PM then took aim at his political rivals, accusing the Congress of promoting a single family while erasing the "identity of many tribal families" across India. He highlighted the BJP's Parivartan Yatra, declaring, "Aaj se Jharkhand mein parivartan ki shuruat ho gayee hai" (the beginning of change has started in Jharkhand). In a bid to connect with the tribals, he introduced a new slogan: Roti, Beti aur Maati' (bread, daughters and land).

KARNATAKA: Furore Over Waqf Land

In the heat and dust of the assembly bypolls that concluded on November 13 in Karnataka, the state’s Congress government found itself grappling with a thorny issue that has snowballed into a controversy with nationwide ramifications. Hence it came to be that, amid the shrill election campaigns for the Channapatna, Shiggaon and Sandur assembly seats, the event that garnered national attention was the November 7 visit to Karnataka by a parliamentarian from Uttar Pradesh, Jagdambika Pal. Famous as the “one-day chief minister of UP”, the BJP’s Domariyaganj MP chairs the 21-member joint parliamentary committee (JPC) examining the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, introduced in the Lok Sabha this August.
