Tribal Displacement Sparks Uproar in Jharkhand Assembly

Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi accused the Jharkhand government of displacing tribals for industrial projects, alleging corruption and ignoring farmers' distress. He called for an assembly committee to investigate fertile land acquisitions. Chief Minister Hemant Soren countered, stating the matter was sub judice, with procurement issues also flagged.

In a heated session of the Jharkhand assembly, Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi launched strong criticisms against the state's current administration.

Marandi alleged that under the JMM-led government, tribal communities were facing displacement as their lands were seized for industrial and mining projects.

He further accused the government of corruption and neglect towards farmers, citing inadequate paddy procurement and controversial land acquisitions.
