Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP of aiming to “plunder” Jharkhand’s coal and mineral resources, rather than focusing on the welfare of the people. Speaking at a rally in Mandu, Kharge criticized Prime Minister Modi as the “head of liars” for failing to deliver on promises of jobs and for favoring the rich. He asserted that Hemant Soren would remain Jharkhand’s CM.
