BJP State President and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi today addressed public meetings at Khunti and Manoharpur as part of Sankalp Yatra where he once again targeted the JMM/Congress alliance government.

Marandi said that the present government was not made to work. This Thugbandhan government was made only to loot the state and for corruption, which is visible continuously. He said that the appointment year of the JMM/Congress government, which came to power by talking about giving unemployment allowance or not five lakh appointments every year, has not come, whereas four years of this government are about to be completed.

He said that the achievements of the present government are crime, loot and corruption in the state. In the Hemant government, people are scared and criminals, robbers, brokers and middlemen are fearless.

He said that incidents of murder, robbery, kidnapping and rape are happening daily in the state. Sisters and daughters are being killed by sprinkling petrol and cutting them into pieces. Smuggling of sand from the state is taking place in Bihar, Bengal, Delhi, Mumbai. And the state police are arresting those who collect sand from the river for domestic work and sending them to jail.

He said that the state government has deployed the police not for action against criminals but for recovery. He said that there is corruption everywhere in the police station, block, DC office, secretariat. Middlemen brokers dominate. The poor have to pay thousands of rupees as a bribe even to get their names added in the death certificate and ration card.

He said that the officials ask for money after being beaten and say that if they have given, they will take it. The post has to be recharged like a mobile.

He said that there is loot of land in the state.

He said that today when the Chief Minister's property is being investigated and ED is sending summons for questioning, then to save the corrupt, they are spending crores of rupees on lawyers in the Supreme Court.

He said that today there are no teachers in the schools of the state, no doctors, no nurses, no medicines in the hospitals. The state government is not even able to repair the roads built by the BJP government. The middlemen are also looting the grains of the poor. And kept sending money to Hemant Soren's safe.

He said that BJP cannot see the plight of the state. He said that Jharkhand is the gift of the BJP government. Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government formed the state on the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda.

He said that under the BJP government, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and bridges and culverts were constructed on river drains. And today under the leadership of Modi ji, progress is being made in all areas like roads, electricity, water, education and medicine.
