Defence Minister Rajnath Singh accuses JMM-led alliance of corruption, promises justice and prosperity under BJP rule in Jharkhand
Alleging that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led (JMM) alliance in Jharkhand is “involved in neck-deep corruption” and exploiting people, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on May 10 said the ruling coalition will be punished for atrocities on residents of the State.
He also claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked tirelessly to make India a prosperous country and done “miraculous work to bring 25 crore people out of poverty”, while “earlier Prime Ministers like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi made hollow promises to alleviate poverty”.
"Corrupt JMM-led alliance is sucking the blood of innocent people. It is betraying them. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) believes in the politics of 'Insaf and Insaniyat (justice and humanity). The JMM-led coalition will be punished for atrocities on people", Singh said addressing a rally in Jharkhand's Dumka.
"During the Manmohan Singh regime at the Centre, India remained at the 11th position globally in economic prosperity, while the country secured the fifth place under the BJP-led rule, Singh said.
"After the US and China, India would be the third prosperous country in times to come," the Union Minister said.
Urging people to vote in favour of BJP candidate Sita Soren, Singh said that no one would be allowed to snatch reservations from people.
Former Chief Minister Hemant Soren has put "Jharkhand's esteem at stake", he said, while appealing to people to "take revenge by giving votes to 'lotus', the symbol of the BJP.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
