JMM-led coalition govt dragging Jharkhand backwards: Chouhan
During his interaction with the media persons, the Union Minister said that the BJP-led NDA government has been trying to develop Jharkhand for the enhancement of the people’s life in the state but unfortunately, the JMM-led coalition government is dragging the state backwards.
The visiting Union Minister had also interacted with the BJP functionaries about the PM’s visit and also about the party’s organisational preparedness for the assembly elections here.
It seems that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Jamshedpur is a prelude to a hectic election campaign by the BJP that is in the offing in view of the ensuing assembly elections in Jharkhand.
