The JMM and Congress are running a marathon of scams in Jharkhand, says PM Modi in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh
The RJD transformed Jharkhand into a center for their exploitation, brazenly looting its water, forests, and land: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed an enthusiastic crowd in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. Kickstarting his address, PM Modi said, "On this Gandhi Jayanti, I feel fortunate to be here. In 1925, Mahatma Gandhi visited Hazaribagh during the freedom struggle. Bapu's teachings are integral to our commitments. I pay tribute to Bapu." PM Modi highlighted the launch of the "Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan," aimed at ensuring that every tribal family benefits from government schemes.

Ensuring focus on the tribal community, PM Modi said, "No one has faced the kind of injustice our tribal heroes have endured. Congress erased their identity to highlight one family. Today, our government is giving them full respect. The BJP started the campaign to build tribal museums, including one in Ranchi for Bhagwan Birsa Munda. We also began celebrating Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on his birthday. Next year marks his 150th birth anniversary, and today's program is dedicated to this cause."

PM Modi stated, "While the central government works tirelessly for Jharkhand’s development, the state government is derailing progress. Every child in Jharkhand knows the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance is the biggest obstacle. Jharkhand will move forward only when this government is removed, and change happens.”

The PM added that the Parivartan Yatra is not just a political journey, but a pledge to fulfill the people’s dreams. It has the blessings of the people and support from every section of society. He said, “Today marks the start of Parivartan for Jharkhand’s development, housing, clean water, ending corruption, protecting resources, women’s safety, and tribal rights."

Criticizing the JMM’s approach, PM Modi remarked, "It’s unfortunate that JMM has now aligned itself with Congress and RJD. The Congress ecosystem has taken control of JMM. The Congress has taken over JMM—its language has changed, its character has changed, and now they are trying to change the very soul of Jharkhand.”

Slamming the JMM party for rampant corruption, PM Modi reiterated, "The JMM government has become a major obstacle to Jharkhand’s development. Can anyone believe that those who seek votes from the tribal community in the name of water, forests, and land would engage in such blatant looting? This government is plundering minerals vital for the state's progress.

“They devise schemes for the poor and tribals only to embezzle the funds. Programs like Abua Awas Yojana and Mukhyamantri Maiya Yojana have become corrupt. Under the state government's protection, corrupt gangs are selling exam papers for lakhs, robbing the rights of the youth. Millions are being made, and this money is going up the chain. How can such a government benefit Jharkhand’s youth?" asked the PM.

Lashing out at the Congress and the JMM, PM Modi said, “Here, hundreds of crores are seized from Congress leaders' residences, and millions are also found in the homes of their aides. JMM and Congress are engaged in a marathon of scams in Jharkhand. I've heard that as their exit approaches, they have accelerated their corruption. In the last two weeks alone, thousands of transfers have taken place in Jharkhand. Soon, the government in Jharkhand will change, and we will hold them accountable for this loot."

Highlighting Jharkhand's changing demographics, PM Modi stated, "The rise in infiltrators and decline of the tribal community are consequences of JMM and Congress's hunger for power, jeopardizing Jharkhand's and the nation’s security. That’s why we pledged to protect 'Roti, Beti, Mati' during the Parivartan Yatra. In a few months, a BJP government will be established, ensuring the safety of 'Roti, Beti, Mati.'"

Continuing his lambasting of the opposition, PM Modi said, "They promised a monthly cooking allowance of 2,000 rupees for women. What happened to that? JMM pledged pensions for widows and promised 51,000 rupees and gold coins for daughters’ weddings. Where are those promises? How many sisters benefited from these schemes? Once again, they come with new lies and false promises. The shop of lies will not open repeatedly."

PM Modi spoke about the PM-Janman scheme, which the center launched on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. “This scheme connects tribal areas that have been marginalized from the mainstream of development for decades—places where basic facilities like roads, water, and electricity have not even reached. Today, the lives of millions of tribal families are changing, as they receive essential services and experience improved living conditions,” he said.

Emphasizing Congress's corrupt nature, PM Modi stated, "Congress is inherently anti-Dalit, anti-disadvantaged, and anti-tribal. Their policies and governance have blocked the advancement of SC, ST, and OBC individuals, leading to their consistent opposition to reservations for these communities. Even now, Congress talks about abolishing reservations to benefit its select vote bank. But I firmly say that as long as the BJP exists, no one can take away SC, ST, and OBC reservations. It is the BJP that secures these reservations."

Wrapping up the rally, PM Modi declared, “The Congress party, which serves the most corrupt family in the country, along with the JMM, must be removed for the development of our villages and the poor. The BJP and NDA are the only viable options for this. We must unite to free Jharkhand from the misgovernance of Congress and JMM. Together, we need to complete the journey of development that the BJP government initiated.”
