On the second day of his Johar Jan Ashirvad Yatra in Santhal Pargana Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said that the Government aims to connect one person each from every family of the State with employment opportunities. The CM, while addressing people at Maheshpur in Pakur said that the volume of works done in five years of BJP government was much more than the works done in 60 years of previous governments.
“Now, Jharkhand is poised to become a prosperous State. I often ask this question from myself and today I am asking from you. Why the decisions taken in the last five years for development and those for your and the interest of the State were not taken during the 60-year rule of previous governments? When so much work can be done in five years, then why the party which remained in power for 60 years did not work in the interest of Jharkhand and its people?” he asked.
“This clearly means that those parties only considered the people here as voters. They only exploited the innocent people here. Wed out Congress and Jharkhand Namdhari parties in the upcoming Assembly elections and give support to the party, which considers power as the medium of service, to pave the way for the creation of new Jharkhand,” said Das.
The CM said that several steps have been taken for the development of bamboo and other industries related to forest produce. Women and youth of the village are being linked to it. The government will soon send bamboo artisans to Vietnam for training. Initiatives have been made to connect the sisters of Santhal with self-employment. 300 women were provided employment in the open Bamboo and Natural Fibre Manufacturing Unit at Sundarpahadi in Godda along with Jama and Gumra of Dumka. It is a matter of pride that the products manufactured by them are being sent to Italy.
Addressing people at Shikaripara in Dumka the CM said that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha violated the CNT and SPT Acts the most. “Party members bought the land of poor and naïve tribals cheaply. The Soren family owns land in several cities. JMM is propagating against BJP that it will take away your land. The truth is that in five years, the BJP government did not take any tribal land. You should stay away from such people and teach misleading people a lesson in the election,” said he.
The CM said that those leaders did not develop the Santhal Pargana, who have been telling themselves well-wishers for the years of Santhal Pargana. “The poverty of Santhal, the tribals living here, could not be seen. Three of the Chief Ministers were from this region, but they have acted only in their own interest without thinking about your interest. This is a big reason for Santhal Pargana to lag behind in the race for development,” he said.
