Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today held previous unstable governments responsible for Naxalism in Jharkhand. PM Modi was in Khunti and Jamshedpur, Jharkhand to address public meetings for the second phase of the Assembly election, which will be held on 7 December.

He said, “The way the BJP government has broken the back of Naxalism, it has been reduced to a very small area, it has reduced the atmosphere of fear, and has created an atmosphere of development.” Naxalism flourished under the non-BJP governments due to political instability, he said while addressing the huge gathering in Jamshedpur.

Addressing the poll meeting, PM Modi asserted that It has been made clear after the voting in first phase of election concluded that the people of Jharkhand have a feeling of trust towards BJP and the lotus symbol.

Mounting a blistering attack on the Congress-JMM alliance in Jharkhand, PM Modi alleged that their self-seeking past governments had exploited the state's resources while neglecting its people. PM Modi asked the people to remember the situation that existed five years ago, said that there were only stories of corruption when the Congress-JMM alliance was in power.

He urged the people of the state to vote the BJP to power for a second successive term, the PM said the double-engine growth of Jharkhand became possible because the party was in power both at Delhi and in Ranchi.

Elaborating on the benefits of 'double-engine' growth, the Prime Minister said due to this we were able to make the lives of farmers and tribals easier. Under the 'PM Kisan Samman Nidhi' scheme, direct fund was deposited in the bank account of all the farmers and tribals here.

Raising the issue of forest rights of tribals, Prime Minister Modi remarked," The BJP is committed to protecting your right to 'Jal, Jungle, Jameen'.

The Prime Minister blamed previous governments for not making efforts to promote the production of tussar silk in the state. “BJP government is moving forward with a vision to make Jharkhand a hub of tussar silk production,” he said.

PM Modi also raked up the issues of repeal of special status granted to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and the Ayodhya verdict.

Talking about the Tribal community’s role in Lord Ram’s life, he said, “A prince leaves from Ayodhya and after 14 years of vanvaas, on his return, he becomes 'Maryada Purushottam Ram' because Prince Ram spent those years with adivasis.”

PM Modi urged voters in Jharkhand to vote for the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections. Several BJP leaders and karyakartas were present in the event.
