Hemant, Babulal hold closed-door meeting in Dhanbad

Friday, 06 September 2019 | Mrituanjay Kumar | Ranchi

Ahead of the State Assembly    election two former Chief Ministers of the State, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) Executive President Hemant Soren and Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (JVM) Supremo Babulal Marandi held a closed-door talk at Circuit House in Dhanbad on Thursday.

Soren said after the meeting that it was a courtesy meeting, while Marandi said that there are several issues on which they held discussions. Replying to a question on seat sharing formula for the upcoming State Assembly elections, Soren said that everything will be cleared in days to come, while Marandi said that his party is ready to align with any likeminded party to defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the State.

In a bid to regain its hold in Coal Belt of the State, ahead of the upcoming State Assembly Elections, Soren held a massive public meeting during his eighth stoppage of ‘Badlav Yatra’ in Giridih and attacked the Government for ‘failure in every field’ including Konar Irrigation project. Soren came to Giridih from Dhanbad to address public meeting. Addressing a public gathering, Soren said that Konar Irrigation Project of the area, which took 42 long years to be commissioned, could not last for even 24 hours after its inauguration and was inundated with the water of the dam within hours of the launching. “As the project is very important for the people of this area and the government was patting its back for launching the project but the originality came before people within hours.

Das inaugurated the project in haste before completion of the project, similar several inauguration programmes are going on to attract attention of people just before the State Assembly Elections,” said Soren.  “The PM had promised that he will provide jobs to two crore people but instead of providing job the companies are retrenching employees,” he added. The former Chief Minister said that if voted to power in the State, he will form a ‘Kisan Bank’ so that the farmers will get facility of easy credit. Soren launched his ‘Badlav Yatra’ on August 26 from Sahebganj with a view to convey his message before State Assembly Elections. He will address public meetings in all districts across the State through the ‘Yatra’.

Speaking on the local issue of Giridih, Soren said that BJP Government forcefully acquired land of farmers for its capitalist friend without constituting displacement policy. “A large numbers of people got displaced by various coal mines and electricity factories instead of rehabilitate them the Government has nothing for them. The victims of displacement are living life like nomadic people if JMM voted to power then it will give priority form a clear rehabilitation policy in the State and victim of past projects will also be rehabilitated,” he added.

Veteran party leader Hazi Hussain Ansari was also present on the occasion.
