Kalpana Soren said, "BJP never stands with us in our fight over public issues. Be it the 27% reservation for the backward, Sarna-Adivasi Dharam Code or the 1932 Local Resident Policy. We get it passed by the Assembly but nobody from BJP fights our fight for issues of Jharkhand. Today, if we are felicitating Maiya in Jharkhand then BJP's 'PIL gang' rushes to the fore. Our intentions are clear, we want to raise our issues if Jharkhand and issues of social justice. We will be at it.."

Defeat Ajit's faction in a 'big' way: Sharad Pawar to voters

NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar has cautioned his detractors that they should mess with anyone but him and appealed to voters to not just defeat those who rebelled under Ajit Pawar, but "defeat them big" in the Maharashtra assembly polls.

Addressing a rally at Madha in Solapur district on Sunday ahead of the November 20 state polls, Sharad Pawar recounted an episode of defection that led to him losing the post of leader of opposition in the assembly almost five decades ago and his resolve that led to the defeat of all those who had backstabbed him.

"In the elections of 1980, 58 persons won polls from our party and I became leader of opposition. I had gone abroad and when I came back I realised Chief Minister AR Antulay saheb had done some miracle and 52 of the 58 MLAs had switched sides. I lost the post of LoP," he said.

"I did nothing (at the time). I just started reaching out to people across the state and worked hard for three years. In the next elections, I fielded young candidates against all 52 MLAs who had left me. I am proud of the people of Maharashtra that all 52 who left me were defeated," he told the gathering.
