PALAMAU: Addressing a large gathering here at Palamau, the Prime Minister congratulated Chief Minister Raghubar Das for completing his five-year term, for the first in Jharkhand since it accomplished statehood in 2000.
Accusing last week's Naxal violence in the poll-bound state, the PM also paid tribute to the four policemen who were killed in the attack. “The BJP govt has given good governance in Jharkhand over the past five years. That is why, for the first time in the state's history, a chief minister completed his five-year term,” he said.
Modi maintained that the Jharkhand government had worked day and night to end corruption over the last five years. “The BJP governments at the Centre and the state will continue to protect Jharkhand's 'Jal', Jungle and 'Zameen' (water, forest and land), no matter what the opposition says. The state has made efforts to restrain naxalism in the state and will continue to fight against the menace,” the PM said.
On this occasion, all leaders of the Palamau commissionery and CM Raghubar Das was himself present, who later apeal the voters to cast votes in their favour.
