The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Sunday took a dig at Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) acting president J P Nadda accusing him of providing false information to paint a rosy picture of development works done by the incumbent Government.
Addressing the media, JMM General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya said that Nadda had quoted the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP), which claimed that the condition of around 27 crore people in the country has improved. While the data was complied between year 2006 to 2016, Nadda gave the complete credit of the achievement to the NDA, which came to power only four and a half years ago. “During the 10 years’ period mentioned in the report, the UPA was in power for eight years. Such efforts to project the incumbent Government as one of the most successful Governments can only impress the CM, not the public,” said Bhattacharya.
Lambasting the State Government on its tall claims under Ayushman Bharat Yojna, the party General Secretary said that Tata Memorial Hospital, which is one of the most prestigious superspecialty hospitals in the state, is not providing its facility under the scheme.
He took a jibe at Chief Minister Raghubar Das, claiming that the hospital was not enlisted under the scheme despite being functional since years at Das’ hometown, Jamshedpur. “None of the superspecialty hospitals are willing to get enlisted under the scheme as the Government is not clearing their bills on time,” he added.
Crticising Nadda for his statement in which he said that the State has done good job in the field of road construction, Bhattacharya said that Nadda should have come from Jamshedpur to Ranchi along with the Das by road and seen the condition of National Highway 33. “Had he come from Jamshedpur to Ranchi by road, he would have understood the real condition of roads in the State,” Bhattacharya said.
For providing false data the Government and the Chief Minister should apologise, said Bhattacharya. “Nadda is always welcome in Jharkhand. But we will not let him befool the people of our state by manipulating data and using it for his party’s benefit,” he added.
