Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday said that he had given an impeccable Government having no graft charges in five years. Addressing election rallies in Saraiyahat and Poreiyahat on Tuesday Das said, “While the BJP’s focus is development of State, JMM, Congress, RJD and Independents looted Jharkhand for 14 years after the State was separated from Bihar.”
The Chief Minister said that after the formation of a separate State,
JMM, Congress and RJD have plundered the State’s resources. He said that the situation has become so distressing that even the Chief Minister and the Minister had to go to jail on charges of corruption. He said, “The double engine government gave employment to the people, constructed bridges culverts strengthening road network for development. Development cannot be envisaged without electricity. Six hours of electricity will be provided to the farmers from a separate feeder.”
Targeting JVM candidate from Poraiyahat Pradeep Yadav, Chief Minister said the JVM candidate Yadav is anti-development and his politics is of selfishness. Das said, “For the Poraiyahat and Saraiyahat, Yadav not even once raised any issue in Assembly. In Assembly his queries were limited to issue pertaining with contractors or against the officials so that recovery can be made from them. It is futile to vote for such people.”

With today rallies, the campaigning ends for the fifth and final phase of poll scheduled on December 20.
