Union Minister for Labour & Employment and Youth Affairs & Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, received a grand welcome by BJP workers at Birsa Chowk, Naya Mod, during his journey from Ranchi to Dhanbad. The event was led by Bokaro's Ex MLA Biranchi Narayan, who, along with a large gathering of party workers, greeted the minister with great enthusiasm.
Dr. Mandaviya paid floral tributes at the statue of tribal hero Bhagwan Birsa Munda and lauded the contribution of labourers in building the nation through sectors like manufacturing, mining, and construction. Highlighting welfare initiatives, he said over 60 crore people are benefiting from the Ayushman Bharat scheme, receiving free treatment worth up to Rs 5 lakh every year.
“This is Modi ji’s guarantee. No one needs to borrow money for medical care anymore,” he stated, adding that the government is considering extending this scheme’s benefits to more hospitals, especially for workers.
Prominent Bokaro BJP leaders present included district president Jaydev Rai, Shashi Bhushan Ojha Mukul, Sanjay Tyagi, Kamlesh Rai, and many others, showcasing strong local support for the minister’s visit and the government’s labour welfare initiatives.
