JMM and Congress have intentions to loot the poor and not serve them: Raghubar

Jamshedpur: Chief Minister Raghubar Das said that since the beginning the intentions of JMM and Congress was not correct as both these parties had no intention of serving the poor but they rather wanted to loot them.

Addressing a public meeting in Patmada on the second day of his Jorhar Jan Aashirwad Yatra in the Kolhan division he said that with the support of the people in 2014 a government was formed which is dedicated to the poor and is working to ensure that benefits of the scheme reach to them.

He said that it was due to the support of the people that article 370 and 35 A was scrapped from Jammu and Kashmir. He said that while on one hand, the people of the country were happy and proud with the decision, on the other hand, the JMM and the Congress were speaking in the language of Pakistan and now the people should decide in the Vidhan Sabha elections.

Mr Das said that the purpose of the Yatra was to interact with the people and make them aware of his works in the last 5 years.

Mr Das said that since vegetables are grown insert abundance in the area, therefore, the farmers should form a farmers committee and operate the cold storage which is being constructed here.

He said that to make the farmers learn about the latest techniques in agriculture and produce more in less water they were sent to Israel and a farmer from Patmada was also sent to that country. He asked the farmers to adopt modern methods of farming and assured that the government will be providing them machinery on 70 percent subsidy.

He said that the farmers are also been provided funds for agriculture works under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and Mukhyamantri Krishi Ashirwad Yojana and asked the farmers to come forward to take the benefit of these schemes.
