The Statesman Siliguri

May 17, 2025

With breathtaking beauty above and vast coal reserves below, Jharkhand's Hazaribagh district plays a pivotal role in meeting India's energy demands.

Its deep-rooted history, diverse geography, and vibrant cultural fabric make it truly distinctive. Yet, the region also grapples with periodic communal tensions, adding another layer of complexity to its challenges. A two-time MLA, Manish Jaiswal has now stepped into his role as a first-time Member of Parliament from Hazaribagh. In an exclusive conversation with Shashi Singh of The Statesman, he talks about his constituency's most pressing challenges, potential solutions, Jharkhand's political landscape, and national affairs.

Q: How do you view your journey from being an MLA to MP? What differences do you feel in your role and responsibilities?

A: As a BJP worker, my commitment to the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas" remains unwavering. As an MLA, my responsibilities were largely confined to addressing local issues. However, as an MP, my scope has expanded to the national level. Now, I am not only responsible for my parliamentary constituency but also for contributing to policy decisions and overall development.

Our focus is on infrastructure, sports, culture, tradition, and job creation. Ensuring more opportunities for the youth is our priority. Government policies play a crucial role in this, but as public representatives, it is our duty to effectively raise people's concerns and ensure solutions. My role has changed, my responsibilities have increased, but my dedication to service and the trust of the people remain my guiding principles.

Q: The BJP often talks about double-engine government, but Jharkhand currently has a 'single-engine' government. Do you think this is affecting the state's development?

A: Absolutely, a double-engine government means that the central and state governments work together on a development agenda, enabling good governance and rapid progress. This is evident in BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh and Assam, where strong leadership has brought significant improvements.
