PM Modi engages a lively audience in Jharkhand’s Sarath
November 13, 2024
The JMM-Congress coalition has done everything wrong to make outsiders permanent residents of this land: PM Modi in Jharkhand rally
We ensured that government benefits directly reach beneficiaries without intermediaries: PM in Jharkhand

PM Modi addressed a large gathering in Jharkhand's Sarath. He said, "Today, the first phase of voting is happening in Jharkhand. The resolve to protect livelihood, daughters, and land is visible at every booth. There is strong support for the guarantees that the BJP has given for the future of women and youth. It is certain that the JMM-Congress will be wiped out in the Santhali region this time."

Accusing the ruling JMM-led coalition in Jharkhand of engaging in dangerous vote-bank politics, PM Modi said the population of Hindus and Adivasis was declining, while that of infiltrators was rapidly increasing.

“The JMM-Congress coalition has done everything wrong to make outsiders permanent residents of this land. They have made fake documents for these infiltrators. Tribal daughters were deceived under the pretext of marriage, and land was seized. These infiltrators have taken away your jobs... even your bread,” the PM established.

PM Modi further warned about Congress' dangerous intentions to end SC/ST/OBC reservations. He criticized Congress for attempting to divide these communities by breaking their unity. He emphasized that only by staying united will these communities safeguard their rights and ensure reservations remain protected and reiterated - "Ek Hain toh Safe Hain!"

The PM also highlighted the significant difference between the Congress era and his own government in ensuring direct benefits for the people. “Under Congress, funds were siphoned off by corruption, but after 2014, Modi ensured that government benefits directly reach beneficiaries without intermediaries.” He mentioned how, through initiatives like opening bank accounts for the poor and the disadvantaged, money like the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi directly reaches the farmers. He also talked about the BJP's new schemes for women and farmers in Jharkhand, ensuring financial aid reach them.

He further emphasized the importance of developing Jharkhand as part of a "Viksit Bharat," with the state's contribution to the nation's energy sector. PM Modi called for collective efforts to make Jharkhand a proud and prosperous state, with promises of continued development. He urged his supporters to ensure that every citizen receives the benefits they deserve, guaranteeing a better future for all, and encouraged them to secure a resounding victory for BJP-NDA candidates.
