Chouhan pledged to protect 'roti, beti, and mati'

In one of his rallies in the Kolhan division, Chouhan pledged to protect the "roti, beti, and mati" (bread, daughters, and land) of Jharkhand. "I promise on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party that we will protect Jharkhand's land, daughters and bread," he said. His response came after several women, who attendeed the rally, presented Chouhan with packets of soil from Jharkhand. They expressed their concerns about the safety of "roti, beti, and mati" under the current government.

Criticism and promise

Chouhan also criticized the incumbent Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) government for allegedly allowing Bangladeshi infiltration into the state. He claimed that this infiltration was threatening jobs and livelihoods. To address this issue, he promised that a BJP government would implement a National Citizen Register (NCR). "Only the BJP government can ensure the safety of Jharkhand's soil, daughters and bread," he said.

"People of Jharkhand, I am here today to tell you that we will create a National Citizen Register so no foreign intruder can obtain an Aadhaar card or have their name added to the voter list," he said.
