Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024 | Jharkhand Set for ‘Double Engine Government’ Post-November 23: Chirag Paswan

Dhanbad, November 18, 2024: Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President and Union Minister Chirag Paswan asserted on Monday that Jharkhand is poised to witness the formation of a ‘double engine government’ after November 23. Addressing election rallies in support of BJP candidates for the Jharia and Dhanbad Assembly seats, Chirag Paswan emphasized that the outcome is inevitable and reflects the growing public trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

Rising Public Sentiment for Modi’s Leadership

Chirag Paswan’s speech highlighted the enthusiastic response from the electorate across various constituencies where he has campaigned. “Everywhere I have visited, I have seen the deep faith and confidence people have in Prime Minister Modi’s leadership. This sentiment will translate into electoral victory,” he stated.

The term ‘double engine government’ refers to the alignment of governance between the state and central governments, which, Paswan argued, ensures more efficient development and smoother implementation of policies.

Criticism of Current Jharkhand Government

Chirag Paswan didn’t hold back in his criticism of the current Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance government, which includes Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). He accused the coalition of rampant corruption, claiming, “The leaders of this alliance have set new records for corruption. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the state has witnessed severe setbacks, including corruption scandals that have tarnished Jharkhand’s image.”

Chirag Paswan specifically pointed out that Hemant Soren’s tenure included instances of alleged involvement in corruption cases, which, according to him, have eroded public trust. “Hemant Soren’s stint has not only been marked by allegations but has brought embarrassment to the entire state,” he added.

Support for BJP’s Developmental Agenda

The Union Minister reiterated his support for BJP’s vision, aligning it with Modi’s initiatives aimed at building a ‘Developed India.’ “The Prime Minister’s commitment to a developed nation is evident in the policies and projects undertaken. The formation of a double engine government in Jharkhand will expedite the realization of this vision,” Paswan noted.

He also stressed that the state has immense potential that remains untapped under the current administration. “With a double engine government, the synergy between state and central policies will ensure that development reaches every corner of Jharkhand,” he argued.

Strong Push for BJP’s Candidates

During his campaign stops in Jharia and Dhanbad, Chirag Paswan urged voters to support BJP candidates, portraying them as the key to unlocking growth and stability for Jharkhand. “The support for BJP candidates will be a step towards ensuring that Jharkhand is not left behind in India’s growth trajectory,” he said.

Chirag Paswan’s speeches were met with enthusiastic crowds, signaling the party’s strong foothold in the region. Local voters expressed optimism, resonating with the idea that a cohesive central-state government could better address their challenges and promote holistic growth.

Promises of Swift Policy Implementation

The Lok Janshakti Party leader underscored that the double engine government model would facilitate faster policy implementation and benefit sectors ranging from infrastructure to social welfare. “With the BJP at the helm both in the center and the state, Jharkhand will experience policy initiatives that directly impact the people’s welfare,” Paswan stated.

He closed his address by emphasizing the need for strong voter participation to ensure that the state’s future aligns with the broader developmental goals championed by the central government.

Chirag Paswan’s campaign tour has amplified the BJP’s efforts in Jharkhand, intensifying the party’s momentum as the November 23 elections approach. The narrative set forth by Paswan has not only resonated with party supporters but has also put the current coalition government under the spotlight, compelling voters to reconsider their stance ahead of the elections.
