Has the Jharkhand government failed its students? From 26,001 assistant teacher vacancies to police, LDC, stenographer, TGT and electricity board recruitments, thousands of candidates have spent years waiting for exams, appointments or clarity.

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand | On the announcement regarding the UCC by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey says, "What is the point of making such statements? If you want to implement it, then go ahead and do so; let’s see what happens. If it is in accordance with the Constitution and you are capable of implementing it, why all this rhetoric?… This is merely an attempt to polarise votes."

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On Akhilesh Yadav's proposed visit to Ayodhya, JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey says, “Ayodhya is nobody's personal property. Those who are devotees of Lord Ram will go and seek his blessings, while those opposed to him indulge in stealing donations and offerings... Several senior BJP leaders, including LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Kalraj Mishra, have not visited Ayodhya yet. I am not even sure whether Amit Shah has visited. So, what will be said about them? It is a matter of faith for all Sanatanis, and Akhilesh Yadav is also among them. He will visit Ayodhya. It is nobody's private property...”

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand | Tribal activist Nisha Kumari died by suicide | BJP leader Pratul Shahdeo says, "Nisha Bhagat did not simply commit suicide; this was a murder perpetrated by the callous system of the Hemant Soren government. She named a land broker, Ajay Tirkey, a man who, under government protection, even moves around with a bodyguard, and described how he was slandering her, making vile, baseless claims about her character. She fought for the dignity of the Adivasi community and was one of the most vocal voices in Jharkhand against religious conversion..." He adds, "She had explicitly stated that she had no affiliation with the BJP or the RSS. She was a lone warrior, a social activist fighting her own battle—yet now you label her a 'BJP agent.' This is the absolute height of shamelessness... This entire case must be investigated by the CBI. If the Hemant Soren government does not order a CBI inquiry immediately, we will shake the very foundations of his administration..."

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On Jharkhand Minister Irfan Ansari's controversial remarks, Amar Kumar Bauri, General Secretary, Jharkhand BJP, says, "...the time has come for parties like Congress to have their political recognition cancelled and to be treated like extremist organisations such as SIMI..." "What Congress desires, the conspiracy it is running from within, in collusion with foreign forces, involving regime change and violent conflict, appears to have been revealed through the words of Irfan Ansari, a senior Congress leader and Health Minister in Jharkhand. I believe this should not be taken lightly and must be treated very seriously. If Hemant Soren ji, believes in constitutional values, constitutional institutions and democracy, he should immediately dismiss this minister from his position. The political recognition of the Congress party should be withdrawn because Congress has now become an organisation that wants to create anarchy and bring about regime change in this country, with Bangladesh and Nepal serving as its models. The time has come for parties like Congress to have their political recognition cancelled and to be treated like extremist organisations such as SIMI..."

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On Jharkhand Minister Irfan Ansari's remarks, BJP leader Pratul Shahdeo says, "Minister Irfan Ansari should be immediately dismissed from the Jharkhand cabinet. Hemant Soren must take the initiative; otherwise, if no action is taken following such an anti-national statement, it will appear that Hemant Soren himself shares the same mindset... The Congress party has become synonymous with anarchy. These are not merely Irfan Ansari’s words; they are the words of Rahul Gandhi, which Irfan Ansari is simply echoing. In our view, he should be dismissed. In the current context, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party have become the greatest threat to this nation’s democracy."

#WATCH# | Ranchi, Jharkhand: JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey says, "... Parliament is indeed a place for discussion and debate, but that debate must be allowed. In recent days, we have seen the Prime Minister and the Home Minister absent when answers were expected. Whenever discussions become heated, the Leader of the Opposition’s mic is switched off, members are not allowed to speak, and some are suspended... This is not the way democracy should function. If healthy debate is not allowed in Parliament, it will take place on the streets."
