Daltonganj, May 19: Rajya Sabha (RS) member Aditya Sahu today lashed out at the Hemant Soren government and said, “Here IAS officers in the state are in the jail where corruption and inefficiency are at the top.”
He said, “This government steals the rice meant for the poor under PM Garib Kalyan Yojna and paves the way to get it sold in the market. This Yojna is up to December 2023 but the state government is doing all to derail it.”
Sahu went on to say, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought in ‘Nal se Jal’ scheme to provide tapped water to each household but here in Jharkhand it is in a very bad condition where laying of the underground water pipe is highly superficial and is being laid only 6 inches down the earth.”
“Extremism is back again. The state government is a total failure to contain it,” charged the RS member.
Sahu counted “quite extensively the spectacular works done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi since 2014 globally and countrywide ranging from giving LPG cylinders, shouchalayas, Ayushman Yojna, PM Kissan Samman Nidhi Yojna, free Covid vaccination to people of India, giving Covid vaccines all free to 40 foreign countries.”
He said, “India now hosts G 20 meet. It’s not a mean achievement. Our PM has made India a force to reckon with internationally.”
However, when asked about the high price rises in India this RS member referred to more such price rises in the European countries whereas in that comparison the price rise in India is less.
He became uncomfortable when a Lagatar24.com correspondent asked him what the PM did when China rechristened the names of more than half a dozen districts of India’s Arunachal Pradesh to which Aditya Sahu began lauding India’s salutary lessons to Pakistan and how India invaded the territory of Pakistan and devastated it.
Prominent BJP leaders namely district president Vijayanand Pathak, Binay Kumar, Vibhakar Narayan Pandey, Kr Bhavani Singh, Durga Johri, Bipin Bihari Singh, Amit Tiwary, Avinash Verma, Citu Gupta, Sheo Kr Mishra, Narender Pandey and others were present in the press conference today.
