PM Modi Launches Rs 83,000 Cr Tribal Development Schemes In Hazaribagh On Gandhi Jayanti

Addressing the Parivartan Maharally in Hazaribagh, he termed the BJP's Parivartan Yatra not as a mere political campaign, but as a movement to safeguard the state's future, and promised security for Jharkhand's daughters, land, and livelihoods under a BJP-led government.

“The BJP guarantees that the safety of these three will be ensured if the government is formed here. A new dawn will descend in Jharkhand with today's Parivartan Sabha," he said.

PM Modi criticised the current Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government, accusing it of hindering the state's development. 

He blamed the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance for rampant corruption and mismanagement, claiming it has betrayed the very people who voted for them in the name of protecting the state's natural resources.

“Everyone here knows that the ruling coalition has allowed unchecked loot of water, forest and land. Jharkhand will progress only when this government is thrown out of power. BJP's Parivartan Yatra is not only a political movement, but a Sankalp Yatra to fulfil the dreams of the people,” he said, accusing the Soren government of siphoning off funds intended for tribal welfare programmes.

PM Modi also attacked Jharkhand's Abua Awas Yojana and Maiya Samman Yojana, labelling them corrupt schemes designed to deceive the public ahead of elections. “The people of Jharkhand have to be careful of those who sell lies,” he said.

Taking aim at the Congress, PM Modi accused the party of neglecting tribal communities while favouring a single family for decades.

“Congress did not give importance to the tribal society which made big contributions in the freedom struggle. All the schemes were brought in the name of the members of a single family. Such family-oriented thinking has caused immense harm to the country. Today I am proud that our government has given full respect to the tribal heroes. We all lovingly call Lord Birsa Munda Dharti Aaba. Today, in his name, our government has started 'Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan'," he said.

PM Modi also raised concerns about the state government's failure to deliver on promises, such as providing jobs and allowances for youth and women. He alleged that paper leak scandals have severely impacted the state's youth, with exam papers being sold under the protection of the government, enriching a select few while ruining countless young lives.

He urged the people to reject the current government and embrace the BJP's vision for a prosperous, corruption-free future.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe into the tragedy that left Capt Paramjit Singh and Capt GK Pillai, besides an aircraft maintenance engineer Pritamchand Bharadwaj, dead this morning in the chopper crash near Bavdhan.

According to officials the chopper, an Agusta 109-VT-EW, had taken off from the Oxford Golf Club in Pune for a flight to Juhu Airport in Mumbai, at around 7.15 am without passengers on board.

En route, barely 20 kms away and some four to five minutes after the take-off, the chopper suddenly crashed at around 7.20 am near the HEMRL-DRDO factory, said a police officer speaking from the site of the tragedy near Bavdhan.

Videos of the incident shot by some locals showed the helicopter apparently losing control and plunging almost abruptly, headlong into a forested hilly region before going up in smoke.

Despite repeated attempts by IANS, officials of Heritage Aviation remained tight-lipped about the tragedy and stonewalled all questions on the victims and the possible causes of the tragedy.

Bharatiya Janata Party’s Minister Chandrakant Patil said that as per preliminary information, Wednesday's crash may have occurred owing to some technical snag and suspected poor visibility, which will be probed.

As per certain local reports, the ruling Nationalist Congress Party state President Sunil Tatkare, was scheduled to fly by the same ill-fated chopper.

The helicopter was flying to Mumbai to pick up Tatkare for a flight later today after it had completed certain other flights in Beed on Tuesday.

An official said that the police control was informed of the tragedy by a caller and immediately, a team was set up including the local fire brigade, which rushed to the crash spot with the help of villagers, in a difficult hilly terrain of the western ghats.

The police also informed the local aviation authorities and a team of experts from Heritage Aviation was dispatched from New Delhi and Mumbai for a probe into the tragedy.

The Hinjewadi Police Station together with aviation officials are coordinating to assess the situation and other details and the bodies of the victims were shifted for autopsy at a Pune hospital.

This is the second incident of its kind in the Pune hills after a private helicopter on a Mumbai-Hyderabad flight had crashed in the region on August 24, injuring four, and prior to that, on May 3, a helicopter flying to pick up Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare had crashed near a helipad in Raigad.
