May 19, 2024
Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], May 19 Referring to PM Modi's remarks alleging that Adani and Ambani were involved in distributing black money to Congress, party leader Supriya Shrinate accused the Prime Minister of adopting "double standards as far as corruption is concerned as PM is aware of who is distributing black money and also he is not taking any "action" through government agencies against them.
"PM Modi talking about corruption is just double standards. He made a big revelation about corruption and said that Adani and Ambani were distributing sacks full of black money. His (PM Modi) ED, CBI, and Income Tax are not going to Adani and Ambani," Shrinate told ANI.
Earlier today, PM Modi said that a state like Jharkhand is so rich in mineral wealth, yet there is so much poverty here.
"It is unfortunate. The common man remains poor while Congress and JMM have amassed black money in their homes. Parties like Congress, JMM, and RJD have looted our Jharkhand at every opportunity. Congress has been the mother of corruption. Congress has set records of loot in scams like 2G and coal. Look at RJD. They invented scams like land for jobs. JMM has learned these traits from Congress and RJD. JMM has done land scams in Jharkhand. And whose lands did they grab? They grabbed the lands of our poor tribals! They even tried to grab army land. The mountains of cash are being recovered from their homes. Whose money is that? It is your money. It is the money of innocent tribals, which these people have looted," he said.
He further said that the parties like Congress, JMM, and RJD have looted our Jharkhand at every opportunity.

PM Modi urged the people to reject corrupt parties and support BJP's vision.
"The whole world knows that industries are necessary for the progress of the country. The name of Jamshedpur itself is after Jamsetji Tata. However, the Congress party considers entrepreneurs as enemies of the country. Their leaders say we attack businessmen who do not give us money. This means parties like Congress and JMM have no interest in the country's industries. They are only interested in their corruption and extortion," he said.
Jharkhand, a tribal-dominated state, comprises 14 parliamentary constituencies. Elections in Jharkhand are being held in four phases: May 13, 20, 25, and June 1.
In 2019, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 12 seats in Jharkhand, with the BJP securing 11. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress each secured one seat.
Four phases of Lok Sabha polls have been held and the voting in all seven phases will conclude on June 1. The results will be declared on June 4.
