The development of Jharkhand has been reversed in all aspects in the last five years of the BJP rule. The BJP government in Jharkhand has been unsuccessful across all sectors and rather than focusing on the basic problems faced by the people the government is forcing national issues on them. The people of Jharkhand have outrightly rejected the BJP’s anti-people policies.
The attempts made by Prime Minister Narendra Patil and Home Minister Amit Shah to win elections by capitalizing on issues like their so called nationalism, the scrapping of section 370, CAA-NRC have been rejected by the citizens and have also defeated the anti-people policies of the BJP government, said Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president and revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat.
Speaking on the issue, Thorat said, the BJP has not got majority in any of the state elections held in the country since 2017.
Ever since Jharkhand came into existence there has always been a BJP led government, the Congress party was never in power there. For the first now, the BJP is going to lose power and the Congress is going to form the government.
In 2014 the BJP won 37 seats and was given the chance to govern and develop Jharkhand for five years. But in the last five years, the BJP has taken the state behind in terms of development.
In 2014 the gross state domestic product of the state was at 7.32% which in 2019 had dipped to 5.2%.
Unemployment rate has also reached to 15.1%. Jharkhand’s ranking for per capita income is down to 27 from 30. Poverty has gone up to 8.6%. Industries have trade have been affected and no new investments have been made. The issues pertaining to the tribal’s have massive and are unsolved. Farmers are suffering and Malnourishment is also on the rise.
To divert attention from all these failures, just like Maharshtra nearly 11 opposition MLA’s were inducted in the BJP ahead of the elections. But the citizens of Jharkhand have seen through the BJP’s immoral politics and served them a huge defeat.
Modi and Shah individually took 9 rallies in the state and tried to ignore the fundamental issues of the people there, which too wasn’t successful.
The way BJP is losing public trust, at this rate, the BJP who once gave a slogan of Congress mukt India, will have to fight to protect it’s own identity.
There is a building resentment amongst people of the country against the BJP’s anti-people and divisive politics and the large scale protests across the country are proof of the anger.
The new Jharkhand government will be pro farmer, tribal’s, poor, women, youth and students.
Expressing confidence that the new Jharkhand government will work tirelessly for the development of the people like the government in Maharashtra is, Balasaheb Thorat congratulated the winning MLA’s of Jharkhand.
