Thunderous applause greeted Chief Minister Hemant Soren in Koderma as he tore into the Union Budget for neglecting Jharkhand. At the JMM’s Lokai event, the CM and party president emphasized the state’s exploited mineral bounty sustaining distant metros.
‘Coal from our mines lights up Delhi; iron builds Gujarat—yet we’re left in the dark,’ Soren declared. He envisioned economic chaos sans Jharkhand’s outflows, exposing the irony of budgetary indifference.
Chronicling the statehood saga, Soren honored forgotten heroes who jammed jails resisting British tyranny. Independence brought factories, but profits flowed outward, perpetuating a labor-export model.
Under his helm, Jharkhand rises: international branding, overseas education for the young, transformative welfare. The rally swelled JMM ranks, with Shalini Gupta poised to fortify Koderma operations.
Sonu, the minister, attributed re-election to populist hits like Maiya Samman, heralding local change. Gupta’s speech pulsed with 15 years’ grit, affirming Jharkhand’s indigenous ownership.
A floral plant tribute and guard of honor marked Soren’s chopper touchdown at JJ College. Security chiefs and leaders ensured seamless proceedings. This Koderma showdown underscores Jharkhand’s awakening to claim its rightful share.
