BJP's Marandi Blasts JMM Government for Rampant Corruption

BJP leader Babulal Marandi criticized the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha government for widespread corruption, accusing them of looting resources such as land, coal, and sand. With elections approaching, Marandi expressed confidence in BJP's victory and highlighted their alliance with AJSU, JD-U, and LJP to contest elections against JMM and Congress coalition.

The Bharatiya Janata Party's Jharkhand president, Babulal Marandi, launched a scathing attack against the state's ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, accusing them of rampant resource plundering over the last five years. Marandi alleged that the JMM had stripped the state of its resources, targeting sand, coal, and land belonging to Adivasis and the army.

With elections declared, Marandi asserted that the BJP is poised to intensify campaign efforts, confident of forming the next government. 'The level of corruption is such that government offices have become synonymous with extortion,' he noted, emphasizing public eagerness for change as election day approaches.

The BJP will contest the Jharkhand assembly elections in alliance with AJSU, JD-U, and LJP, fielding candidates across several constituencies. Hemant Soren, representing the JMM-led INDIA bloc, announced a coalition with Congress, set to compete in the majority of seats, as discussions continue with RJD and Left parties. The elections are slated for November 13 and 20.
