Hazaribagh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the ‘Pradhan Mantri Tribal Unnat Gram Abhiyan’ (PMJUGA) on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand on 2nd October. Under this scheme, work will be done for the overall development of more than 63,000 tribal villages of the country. The objective of this scheme is to empower the tribal communities by bringing them into the mainstream.
PM started his address at the Parivartan Rally with Jai Johar. PM said that the alliance of Congress, JMM and RJD is the biggest obstacle in the development of Jharkhand. The state will develop only when they are removed from power.
There is a fight to save bread, daughter and soil
The PM said that the fight for Jharkhand is not about getting power. This is a fight to save bread, daughter and soil. JMM and Congress are playing with the security of Jharkhand as well as the country.
Congress erased the identity of tribals to give identity to one family. All the schemes, all the roads are in the name of one family. Such thinking caused great harm to the country. BJP is the party which saw the dream of Jharkhand and also fulfilled it.

New scheme launched for the fourth time in Hazaribagh
This visit to Hazaribagh holds special significance for Modi as this is the fourth time he has launched a major national scheme from here. Earlier, he had also inaugurated Ayushman Bharat Yojana (2018), Kisan Maandhan Yojana (2019), and Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra (2023) from Jharkhand. This visit of Prime Minister Modi is also important from the political point of view before the upcoming assembly elections. Considering the large number of tribal population in Jharkhand, this campaign can further strengthen BJP’s position in the state.
