Political Activities Intensify in Jharkhand as State Government Faces Criticism

25

BI News, Ranchi: With the commencement of election fervor in Jharkhand, Chief Minister Hemant Soren, upon assuming office, initiated actions outlined in his action plan. Meanwhile, the BJP has heightened its activities, keeping the Hemant government on its toes. Post-Durga Puja, political activities across the state have intensified, attributed to the BJP’s increased vigor since the formation of the JMM-Congress-RJD coalition government. The government faces continuous pressure on various issues.

Two years have passed, and mental stress has been palpable in the functioning of Hemant Soren’s government. ED investigations have kept ministers, including Chief Minister Hemant Soren, on edge. The IAS officer in ED custody has put his entire career at stake. Instead of implementing development projects at the grassroots level, the focus seems to be on paperwork and the application of schemes in theory rather than practice.

The consequence is evident—none of the schemes has been successfully implemented. While the state government claims to have organized job fairs to provide employment to the youth, the actual success stories seem scarce. The fortunate few who find employment reveal various issues slowly coming to light. More revelations are expected in the coming days, and denial seems improbable.

Unfortunately for the state, since its inception, every government has launched numerous schemes, but most have only existed on paper. This discrepancy has led to ED interventions, uncovering irregularities wherever they probed. The fundamental question remains: how can the development of the state’s people be achieved in such circumstances?
