PM Modi In Jharkhand: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fierce attack on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Congress and labelled them as the "enemies" of the state. He said that RJD still seeks revenge against Jharkhand for its separate statehood; Congress despises state,  which is why, for so many years, when they ruled the country from Delhi, they never allowed the Dalit, poor, and backward sections to move forward. PM Modi also accused JMM of building its political base on Adivasi votes while now aligning with those who allegedly threaten the land rights of the state's people.

Speaking at the rally, he also expressed concern about the growing problem of illegal immigrants in Jharkhand, particularly in the Santhal and Kolhan regions, which he said has endangered local girls and their families.

"Today, the biggest problem in the state is the intruders. Just two days ago, the Jharkhand High Court passed orders to investigate these activities, but the JMM government refuses to acknowledge that this is a significant issue," he said.

PM Modi also pointed out that the demographics and identity of these regions are changing rapidly due to Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants. Modi claimed that JMM is siding with these immigrants for political gains."JMM is standing with the Bangladeshi and Rohingya intruders. Political benefit is their top priority," he added.

Mentioning the recent controversy surrounding former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, he said, "Today, poor tribal people in Jharkhand are questioning if Champai Soren wasn't a tribal or if he didn't come from a poor family. The insult to him has deeply hurt every tribal person in Jharkhand."

PM Modi, highlighting the historical significance of the state, said that, "This is the land of revolution and sacrifices. This is the land of penance, sacrifice and blessings of 'Bhagwan' Birsa Munda, who gave a push to the dreams of Independent India through entrepreneurs like Jamshedji Tata. I bow to this great land of Jharkhand."

PM Modi also recalled the  support he received during the Lok Sabha elections, thanking the people of Jharkhand for standing by him in the face of the opposition. 

"And the world saw, on one hand, the whole Opposition was desperate to defeat Modi, by spreading fake narratives and rumours, and on the other hand your blessings, which weighed heavy on all of their tactics. And I thank you for your love and blessings," he said.

He assured people that if the the BJP is elected in the state, it will leave no stone unturned for Jharkhand's development.
