On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a road show in Ranchi and two rallies in Bokaro and Gumla, where he slammed Congress and its allies for "attempting to create a divide between SCs, STs, and OBCs."
Attacking Congress, he said that its allies "can't see Adivasis on top," and have kept Jharkhand backward.
PM Modi, also launched a scathing attack on JMM and Congress alliance, during his rally in Bokaro and said, "BJP-led government is needed in Jharkhand to drive out infiltrators,"
