RANCHI: The ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Wednesday alleged that 11 years of BJP rule at the Centre have only amplified the struggles and unanswered questions of the people of Jharkhand.

"To mark 11 years of the Modi-led BJP government, the BJP has sent former Union Minister Smriti Irani to Jharkhand to highlight so-called 'achievements.' But the ground reality here does not reflect celebrations," the JMM alleged.

On Tuesday, Irani had listed several achievements of the central government, claiming that 25 crore people had been lifted out of poverty during the period.

"The Jharkhand Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution demanding the recognition of the Sarna Religious Code. Yet, the central government has taken no meaningful action. This is not just an administrative lapse but a deliberate denial of the identity and dignity of tribal communities," JMM spokesperson and central committee member Dr. Tanuj Khatri alleged.
