The year 2020 was very important for Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) Chief cum State Finance Minister, Rameshwar Oraon, said JPCC spokespersons. After the formation of a separate Jharkhand State, the Congress got the maximum number of seats in any State Assembly elections under his leadership. This strengthened his hold in the organization, while his hard work as a Minister left a special mark.
“After assuming office last year JPCC was facing big problems like fact in the party but Oraon sorted out the organisation's problem. As a result, all those who were opposing Oraon from inside, publicly accepted that they are working under his leadership and they have full faith on him,” said they.
“Oraon constituted Covid-19 Relief and Monitoring Committee from the State to district and block levels during the Corona period and reviewed the relief operations carried out by the party workers on daily basis during the lockdown period. During this time, he worked to help the stranded people of Jharkhand outside the State,” they added.
“Oraon's special work as Minister of Finance and Food Supply has made a special mark. In the early days of the lockdown, when many Ministers of the State Government became Corona infected, even during that time Oraon went to his office every day and kept meeting with departmental officials to provide help to more and more people during the crisis. He also visited Chatra, Ramgarh, Palamu, Lohardagga, Latehar, Bokaro, Dhanbad and many districts during the period. Throughout the lockdown period,
Oraon succeeded in providing food grains to every poor and needy family. During this time all the needy families also got ration, whose name was not in the ration cards,” said the spokespersons.
“Apart from this, during the Corona period, when the revenue collection was reduced considerably, as a Finance Minister, Oraon, by taking several measures to increase the revenue. Now not only the revenue collection has increased, but the situation is also gradually becoming normal in terms of revenue collection,” they said.
