New Delhi: BJP president J P Nadda has slammed the JMM-Congress government in Jharkhand, saying the state has become a byword for "lawlessness" under its rule, with Naxalism rife and corruption becoming an "industry".
Addressing the state BJP leaders and workers at a digital event to inaugurate party offices in eight districts, he asked them to work democratically to remove the coalition government, which had come to power in December last, " lock, stock and barrel".
"When I read news of Jharkhand now, reports of Naxalism, daylight kidnapping and murder, and robbery are rife. Jharkhand has become a byword for lawlessness. The menace of Naxalism, which was almost over, has become rampant," Nadda said.
Corruption has become an industry with rates fixed for transfers, he alleged.
Good governance has ended in the state because the government is weak and careless, he charged.
