On the last day of campaigning for general elections 2019 Chief Minister Raghubar Das attacked Congress and JMM again holding them responsible for displacement issue in Dumka and others parts of State. The CM said that the present government is trying its best to rehabilitate the people, who have been displaced.
“Displacement of people due to works at Massanjore, Chandil Dam including other places in the State is the legacy of Congress and JMM. They displaced people from here and benefitted people of other states. The JMM and Congress entrusted displacement as a legacy to the State. This has not happened in the reign of Modi Ji or BJP. The BJP is in favour of rehabilitation first and then displacement,” said the CM addressing people at Ramgarh in Dumka on Friday.
Das asked to people that the person contesting election from Dumka is now unable to walk and speak properly then how can he become voice of people in the Parliament? “You made Guruji your MP in 2014, but the sane person goes to Parliament only once in six months for marking his attendance so that his membership remains intact. This is a big betrayal with the people of Dumka,” he said.
“You chose Guruji your MP with lots of hopes but he has dishonoured all of you. JMM has become Jharkhand Mudra Lochan Party now. They cheated the people made false claims for years and made the people poor. By doing this kind of politics the Soren family has gathered a huge amount of money through corrupt means. Do the people here feel that Guruji or any leader of JMM can become the Prime Minister of the country? It is, therefore, useless to vote for a regional party,” he said.
“Whether you need a candidate of Bokaro or from Jama, it is you who has to take a call. Modi Ji has made Sunil Soren from Jama’s land his candidate in the elections so that you can make your own man MP of the constituency and not an outsider. Your MP should be such, who stays near you and become your voice in the Parliament and not like a person who never comes to you,” said the CM.
Das further said that the JMM has ruled in Santhal Pargana and the whole State for years, but just speaking about casteism and communalism it brought the Santhal society much behind in the race of development. “After 2014 there is a lot of change in the people of Santhal Pargana in the leadership of Modi Ji. Basic amenities are reaching them now. Littipara, Shikaripara and Jama is changing now,” he said.
“For over 14 years the JMM and Congress kept playing games of disturbing the government in the State. They never showed seriousness for affluence of the State and development of people here. They did not define domicile policy for 14 years. Now, in the leadership of Modi Ji domicile policy was defined and steps were taken to provide jobs to the youths of the region. After 2014 the State government has given employment to more than one lakh youths and in next one month 50,000 teachers will be recruited,” said he.
