In a scathing attack on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) government, BJP Jharkhand president and Dhanwar constituency candidate, Babulal Marandi, accused the JMM of widespread corruption and exploitation of the state’s resources over the last five years.
“There will be a transformation in Jharkhand. The JMM government has done nothing but loot the state over the last five years. The people of Jharkhand will not make the mistake of voting for corrupt leaders again. They’ve looted everything–sand, stones, coal, and land. Whether it’s land belonging to Adivasis or the army, they’ve left nothing untouched,” Marandi claimed.
Speaking at a rally, Marandi stated, “The people of Jharkhand are ready for change. Corruption has spread to such an extent that even government offices have become hubs for extortion. The JMM government has done nothing but plunder the state.” He further emphasized that the upcoming elections will be an opportunity for the people to oust corrupt leaders and bring about a transformation in Jharkhand.
