Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024: Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Sankalp Patra (manifesto) in Ranchi on Sunday. Key Figures such as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Sanjay Seth, and BJP Jharkhand president Babulal Marandi were present in the event.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier mentioned that the manifesto would outline 150 resolutions. During the launch, Babulal Marandi said much of the development work was done when BJP was in power. “The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has not done anything for the state. They have only focused on their interests and looted Jharkhand for 5 years,” he added.
