He inaugurated 230 schemes worth about 2341 crores. The CM handed over the papers to the beneficiaries from all the blocks of the district, while providing them the benefits of the government's welfare schemes.

Commenting on the protest started by BJP against his government from today itself, Hemant said that if the Supreme Court gave clean chit to me and my government, then BJP has no right to protest. Soren said that instead of positive criticism, the opposition is trying to sabotage the MLAs.
The opposition is forming a gang to file PILs in the court.
The Chief minister was accompanied by state transport and tribal affairs minister Champai Soren, health minister Banna Gupta, state rural development minister Alamgir Alam and state labour minister Satyanand Bhokta.

On this occasion, Minister Banna Gupta said that he has no words to say. The Union Government has continuously harassed the Jharkhand government and the Supreme Court has given its answer. Banna said that the Chief Minister has laid the foundation stone for such public welfare schemes of Jamshedpur city, which no one could think of till date.
