He asked the Chief Minister to clarify which years the arrears pertain to, which plans or projects they are associated with, and what is the basis of the ₹1.36 lakh crore amount.

Marandi emphasized that the BJP stands for every right of Jharkhand and its people, and wherever necessary, they will stand with the government. However, he said that false figures and fake claims will not be tolerated. He added that if the government is truthful, the BJP will always be ready to cooperate.

He raised concerns that the state government might be intentionally creating a situation by exaggerating the issue of arrears to blame the failure in disbursing the Maaiya Samman Yojana funds. He said that the government should abandon false politics and focus on the real issues of Jharkhand.
