Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the Congress–JMM-RJD government "is patronising infiltration in Jharkhand." In another rally in Bokaro, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "The Congress in charge has promised to give cylinders to Hindus, Muslims and infiltrators. BJP will not allow handing over of tribals rights to infiltrators.
" In a bid to suppress the mounted attacks by the BJP, JMM issued a clarification saying that by infiltrators, Mir meant Muslims as "in the eyes of BJP, infiltrators are Muslims...
" "Mir sahab has clearly said that we will give it to everyone (LPG cylinder for Rs 450), we do not do 'jumlabaazi', we will give it to everyone - Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, tribals, non-tribals, Dalits. In the eyes of BJP, infiltrators are Muslims," said JMM leader Manoj Pandey. "Mir Sahab said that we will give it to infiltrators as well, meaning we will give it to all those Muslims who are our citizens, original residents of this place.
We are committed, we will give cylinder for Rs 450 and people also believe in our words," he added..
