Prime Minister Modi said that he pays close attention to the struggles of the poor. The largest programs in the past 10 years have been targeted at the poor, and 250 million people have been lifted out of poverty in the past 10 years.
“BJP is committed to eradicating poverty in Jharkhand…The Congress and its allies have perpetuated poverty and deprivation among indigenous communities. The JMM-Congress-RJD has jeopardized the identity of Jharkhand. 1 A conspiracy to change his identity is brewing.
“They are snatching your – daughters, bread and land… We will make a law to register land in the name of tribal daughters… They found another way – they declared schools, colleges and universities as minorities institutions – it ends reservation for Dalits, tribals and OBCs in these institutions,” he added.
