Ichagarh former MLA Arvind Kumar Singh alias Malkhan Singh along with hundreds of his supporters joined the BJP in presence of BJP president Babulal Marandi  BJP president Babulal Marandi said former Chief Minister Hemant Soren was playing his Adivasi identity card to cover corruption.

“If Hemant Soren is in jail today, it is because of his loot and corruption,” he maintained.

On this occasion, state spokesperson Kunal Shadangi, District President Uday Singhdev, District Incharge Subodh Singh Guddu and others were present. Addressing the meeting, State President and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi said that BJP is the only party dedicated and determined for the development of the state.

He said that Malkhan Singh has returned home. With his re-activation in the party, the party's support base will increase not only in Kolhan but in the entire state.

He said that the fight for a separate Jharkhand state was going on since before independence, but the Congress Party, which ruled the country for 65 years, never understood the sentiments of the people of Jharkhand. Congress kept considering the tribal people here as vote bank. Took votes and bought the movement by giving notes.

He said that the central government formed under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee fulfilled the dream of a separate state by respecting the public sentiments as per its promise. Formed the state on the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda. Made a tribal the first Chief Minister of the state.

He said that today the support of being tribal is used to cover up corruption. But the people of the state have known that the Jharkhand government formed under the leadership of JMM has nothing to do with the welfare of the people of the state.

He said that the leaders of JMM and Congress, who came to power by talking about water, forest and land, have looted and got the state's mines, minerals, coal, iron, stone and sand looted. Today the middlemen are ruling the state.

If the former Chief Minister is in jail today, it is because of his loot and corruption. Due to changing the name and looting the land.

He said that Hemant Soren looted the state by becoming Hemant Kumar Soren, Shibu Soren was made Shiv Soren. Basant Soren was also made Basant Kumar Soren and Durga Soren was made Durga Prasad Soren. He said that today when ED action is being taken, JMM is in panic. But ultimately he will have to suffer the punishment for his actions.

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a pledge of *neither eating, nor allowing* food. Today, action is being taken against corruption and corrupt people across the country.

He said that today the country is moving forward rapidly on the path of progress. Villages, poor farmers, laborers, women, tribals, Dalits and backward people are all joining the mainstream of development. He said that that India's economy is getting stronger. Leaving behind the developed countries of the world, India has become the 5th economy. He said that India will become the world's third economy for the third time under the Modi government.

 He said that in the coming years, India will become a developed India, a self-reliant India. Where no one will be hungry, and no one will be homeless. Everyone will have health facilities. Everyone will have employment. He said that to fulfill the resolve of developed India, the world's most popular leader and successful Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi has set the target of 2024. Modi government for the third time, let us all join hands in completing the target of crossing 400.
