The chief minister said that the maximum number of tribals, Dalits, and backward classes are lodged in the jails of Jharkhand. “They have been serving jail sentences for many years in ordinary cases because they do not have the money to get bail. In such a situation, resources will be made available by the government to ensure that they get bail,” he pointed out.

The chief minister said that there is a gang in the state which is confusing the tribals and indigenous people and is also trying to influence the working style of the government. “We have to remain alert from such gangs. All the people working here will have to learn to live together with the tribals and natives and take care of their feelings,” he maintained.

Strong decisions

The chief minister said that his government is continuously taking many decisions keeping in mind the interests, hopes, and aspirations of Jharkhand and the people of Jharkhand. “The results of our decisions have started to be seen and the coming generations will take advantage of it more strongly,” he added.
