BJP national executive president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Thursday said the ongoing Assembly election will decide the future of State. Nadda claimed that the election is about changing and grooming the fate of Jharkhand. Addressing a rally in support of party candidate Kedar Hazra contesting election from Jamua, Nadda said, “This election is interesting as there are people and parties who have done nothing for State but only looted the State’s exchequer are now reaching out to voters with their fake promises.”

The BJP leader urged the voters not to vote for a party or candidate on their promises, but the voters should go through the work done by the party or candidate in past. He said, “There are parties whose half the leaders are in jail or on bail, but they too are not behind in giving tall promises.”

Throwing light on country’s scene before 2014, Nadda said, “What was the picture in the country before 2014? News of scams had become a regular feature. Scam of Rs 1,76,000 crore, submarine scam and coal scam were some scam that took place during UPA regime. The situation was such that the UPA Government scam was not limited to land but they carried out scam even in sky. The situation after 2014 changed as country gave Modi ji an opportunity to serve the nation.”

Nadda claimed that under Prime Minister Modi, country’s external affairs and defense sector witnessed a sea change.

“The country went with the policy of an eye for an eye as India carried out surgical strike and Balakot air strike after Pakistan carried out Uri and Pulwama attacks respectively.” The senior BJP leader also talked about abrogation of Article 370 of Constitution from Jammu & Kashmir which granted special status to Kashmir and Ayodhya issue, which has been resolved through Supreme Court among others.

Highlighting the work carried out by Chief Minister Raghubar Das government in State, Nadda talked about various schemes of Das such as registry of property upto Rs 50 lakh for women at token Rs 1, providing double cylinder to women under Ujjwala Yojana among others.

Nadda attacking JMM and Congress said, “Those who had looted the State and tried to fool innocent people are now talking about Jal Jungle Zameen.”

Meanwhile, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra also addressed a press conference in State Capital. Patra said the biggest achievement of Raghubar Das Government is that he has given a stable Government which has completed its full term.

Patra said, “Where there is stability there is prosperity, the government has not witnessed any graft charges at the same time Government has taken an iron hand to end Left Wing Extremism (LWE) menace.”

Attacking the Congress party, Patra said, “While on one hand there is double engine Government with PM Modi and Raghubar Das in driver’s seat, on the other side is Congress party whose half of the leaders are in jail or on bail.”

Attacking the JMM, Patra said, “Chief Minister Raghubar Das has made a record in Limca Books of Records by giving one lakh jobs. JMM leader Hemant Soren too is in the spree as he had carried out registry of 16 land plots in a single day.”

On the issue of escalating onion prices, the BJP leader claimed that onion prices will be controlled as Government has taken several measures. He also said, “Leaving aside onion prices the inflation of food commodity is under control.”
