Narendra Modi kicks-off BJP’s poll campaign in Jharkhand

Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked-off BJP’s poll campaign in Jharkhand today. He addressed a rally in Maoist-influenced area of Daltonganj.

“If you promise not to get upset with me, I have one complaint to make. I had come to Palamu in the Lok Sabha elections – I was fighting elections then – there were only half the people there – what is the reason that there are double the number of people here today,” he started his campaign in style.

“Whenever I meet a world leader, the thing foremost on my mind is how can we benefit the adivasis, the dalits and the economically backward sections of the population in India…The natural resources you see here, Australia also has – what is the reason that Jharkhand is poor and Australia is rich? This land is rich but the people here have remained poor due to successive governments,” Modi said.

“Do you want Jharkhand to progress? If you want that then you must rid Jharkhand of this ‘family’ politics. How they’ve looted Jharkhand and they have no shame or remorse,” he said.

“But these people drunk on power must know that there is no place for arrogance in a democracy What does a farmer want? If he gets water, he can turn the produce from the land into gold I need your blessings to change the situation in Jharkhand. We have spent 60 years in trouble – we have seen the ills of casteism, provincialism. There is just one way out for this country – Development I do not make huge announcement – I want to build toilets for the women of this country If we rid this country of these small ills, there is no stopping India from growing Work that wasn’t done in 60 years, we have done that in 60 days,” the prime minister added.

“India is progressing at a rapid pace. Jharkhand cannot lag behind. I’m here to embrace Jharkhand, to do whatever I can for you. Give me a chance to serve you, to change the future of Jharkhand,”  Modi asked blessings from the voters.

Jharkhand will go on polls on November 25.
