Amit Shah Accuses Congress of Corruption in Jharkhand Ahead of Elections

Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed Rs 350 crore meant for Jharkhand's welfare was misappropriated by Congress leaders. He accused the state government of corruption and failing to fulfill promises. Shah promised financial aid for the unemployed and pledged to reclaim lands for tribal people.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has alleged that a sum of Rs 350 crore, intended for the development of Jharkhand's daughters and youth, was discovered during Enforcement Directorate raids at the residence of a Congress MP. Shah made these explosive claims while addressing a campaign rally.

He lambasted the ruling coalition, accusing the incumbent government of rampant corruption, alleging that funds allocated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Jharkhand were embezzled by the governing JMM-Congress-RJD alliance. Looming as a warning, Shah assured that those responsible for any financial improprieties will face justice.

Addressing youth unemployment, Shah criticized Jharkhand's Chief Minister Hemant Soren for failing to deliver on electoral promises and vowed the BJP's commitment to providing unemployment allowances and transparent recruitment. He further criticized the state's economic stagnation, pledging industrial development and land reforms to protect tribal communities.
