BJP President and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that Jharkhand is progressing to become free from menace of Naxalism. He attributed the change to the developmental works done by the BJP Governments at the Centre and State. Flagging off Johar Jan Ashirvaad Yatra from Jamtara, Mr Shah listed out series of welfare works done by Narendra Modi Government and Raghubar Das regime and urged people to give another chance to the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections. He said, 1.26 crore Jan-dhan accounts have been opened, electricity has been provided to 20 lakh households and free LPG connections given to 29 lakh tribals in the state in the last five years.
The Home Minister said, 4.5 lakh poor people got their own homes and 70 Ekalvya Model Residential Schools have been opened in the state to provide quality education to tribal children. Mr Shah hit out at Congress saying in its 10-year rule at the Centre, the party did not take adequate measures for development of Jharkhand. The Minister said, Narendra Modi Government increased allocation to the state to over 1 lakh 45 thousand crore rupees for development.
