Hitting out at the Opposition parties Chief Minister Raghubar das today said that the JMM, Congress and RJD made a State full of opportunities a laboratory and did not focus on development. The CM, addressing people at Sarath in Deoghar on Wednesday said that when the nation is progressing in the leadership of PM Narendra Modi the corrupt people are facing problems.
“These corrupt people have united and want to stop Modi by forming ‘Mahagathbandhan’. The period after independence and between 2004 and 2014 was the period of corruption and scams. UPA was in power and then Dumka MP Guruji had to resign due to coal scam as he was Coal Minister then. These people misled people of Santhal Pargana for 40 years and never talked about development,” said the CM.
Talking about Government schemes the CM said that when a poor man’s son was made PM of the country he understood the pain of the poor people. “That is why,” he said, “All the schemes of Modi Government were executed with an aim of bringing changes in the lives of poor people. Bank accounts of poor people were opened; they got houses, toilets, UJJWALA scheme, Ayushman Bharat etc.”
Das said that the benefits of Central Government’s PM Krishi Samman Nidhi scheme and State Government’s CM Krishi Ashirwad scheme are being given to the farmers of State. “The farmers have got benefits of the PMKSN in the first phase. After May 23 they will also get CMKAY benefits through camps. By this way the farmers will be benefitted by double engine Government,” he said.
The CM further added that the farmers having farmland between five and 10 acres will get benefit of both the schemes. The State Government is setting up separate feeders for farmers so that they get uninterrupted power supply for irrigation, he said, adding that 117 grid and 257 sub stations being set up in the State will help the farmers.
Earlier, addressing people in Deoghar during Prime Minister’s rally in the State the CM said that the Santhal Pargana region witnessed fast development after 2014.
“AIIMS is being constructed at Deoghar, 500 bedded medical college in Dumka and extension of Kunda Airport is being done.
Also, a road network has been laid in Santhal Pargana worth `2,500 crore for smooth transportation.
The work of preservation of language and culture of Santhal Society has also been done in the leadership of PM Modi. After 70 years of independence BJP has worked for conservation of Santhal language and culture,” said the CM.
