“During the pandemic, the Modi-led government ensured everyone received the COVID vaccine and distributed 5 kg of free ration to every household. The BJP government will not let anyone remain poor. BJP cannot forget the significant contribution of the tribal population in the formation of Jharkhand. BJP and Atal Bihari Vajpayee who initiated the creation of Jharkhand,” he said. PM Modi has completed 10 years in office, yet no leader from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha can accuse him or any minister of corruption. The Modi government is unblemished when it comes to corruption, he said.
