JAMSHEDPUR – Amidst escalating pre-election political activities, Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Roy has firmly declared his intention to contest solely from the Jamshedpur East constituency in the upcoming assembly elections.
Roy addressed growing speculation about his potential candidacy in both Jamshedpur East and West.
He emphasized, "I will contest the assembly elections from Jamshedpur East only."
Moreover, the MLA noted that certain opposing factions are rallying against his candidacy in both constituencies.
Roy also responded to recent allegations made by Dr. Ajoy Kumar regarding NGT notices.
Dr. Kumar had claimed that the National Green Tribunal issued notices to demolish 150 houses in Indiranagar and Kalyannagar.
However, Roy countered this assertion, stating he was the sole representative for slum dwellers before the NGT.
He pointed out that other leaders, including Dr. Kumar, were notably absent during these crucial hearings.
Furthermore, Roy addressed accusations leveled by Jamshedpur West MLA Banna Gupta.
He alleged that Gupta has been misusing his ministerial position to make false corruption claims against him.
"Banna Gupta is echoing the sentiments of those I opposed in the 2019 elections," Roy asserted.
The MLA emphasized that these baseless allegations are part of a political strategy by Congress members.
Roy criticized the Congress party for what he described as a web of deceit in their political maneuvers.
He cited instances where local Congress supporters from Kadma have resorted to burning effigies in protest.
Additionally, Roy highlighted a specific case involving an attacked tribal woman who had filed an FIR earlier this year.
He accused Minister Gupta of interfering in the investigation and attempting to silence the matter through negotiations.
"The law should be equal for all," Roy declared, calling for impartial action from the administration.
He urged law enforcement to hold accountable those who commit crimes, regardless of political affiliations.
In conclusion, Roy advocated for a fair and unbiased legal process in the face of mounting political pressure.
His statements reflect the intensifying political climate as the region prepares for the upcoming elections.
