Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has completed its preparations for the grand welcome of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is set to arrive in Jamshedpur for a road show and public meeting at Gopal Maidan. BJP State President and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi held a press conference on Saturday to brief the media about the arrangements. He also took the opportunity to criticize the Hemant Soren-led government, accusing it of corruption and mismanagement. Marandi confirmed that PM Modi will arrive at Sonari Airport in the morning and head directly to Tatanagar Station, where he will participate in two key government programs, including an event organized by the Rural Development Department and the Railways. During his visit, the Prime Minister is expected to announce several developmental projects and initiatives for Jharkhand, with a particular focus on Jamshedpur. Following the programs at Tatanagar Station, the Prime Minister will lead a road show from the Voltas House roundabout in Bistupur to Gopal Maidan. Thousands of BJP supporters, social organizations, and local citizens are expected to line the streets, welcoming PM Modi with grand celebrations. The entire route has been decorated to showcase Jharkhands rich cultural heritage, with folk artists from various communities set to perform along the way. Babulal Marandi urged the people of Jamshedpur to attend the public meeting in large numbers. "We are expecting a historic turnout, with lakhs of people coming from different parts of Jamshedpur to witness this momentous occasion," Marandi said. He emphasized that the road show would be a grand display of Jharkhands diverse culture, calling it a miniature India that reflects the unity of different castes, religions, and communities. During the press conference, Marandi also took aim at the states Chief Minister, Hemant Soren. He accused Soren of failing to fulfill his election promises, such as providing financial aid to women, employment to youth, and pension for the elderly. Marandi alleged that most of these promises have either been abandoned or were poorly implemented. Five years have passed, and the Hemant Soren government cannot point to five concrete accomplishments. Their populist schemes are riddled with corruption, benefitting brokers and middlemen rather than the common people, Marandi stated. He criticized the government for mismanagement of public funds and accused them of failing to address the needs of Jharkhands tribals and marginalized communities. Marandi also expressed concerns about the changing demography in Santhal Pargana, alleging that illegal immigrants from Bangladesh are taking over tribal lands and resources with the governments tacit approval. He promised that if the BJP comes to power, they would implement a strict policy, similar to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, to remove illegal immigrants from Jharkhand. He further accused the Hemant government of prioritizing personal gain over the welfare of the state, claiming that Sorens administration has been more focused on retaining power than addressing the real issues facing Jharkhands citizens. Marandi also pointed to the recent deaths of youths during the states constable recruitment process, attributing the loss of lives to the governments lack of preparation and insensitivity. He condemned the hurried recruitment process, stating that insufficient planning led to the death of about two dozen candidates. The police force is being misused by this government for political gain, rather than serving the people. Law and order have deteriorated, and our sisters safety is at risk under this administration, Marandi said, calling for a change in leadership to restore safety and order in the state.
