Jharkhand is gearing up for a potential new wave of protests as JMM MLA Kalpana Soren announced plans to recover ₹1.36 lakh crore owed by the central government. Soren made the announcement during the JMM’s Jharkhand Day celebrations at Gandhi Maidan in Dumka on Monday. She urged party workers to prepare for this movement.
In her speech, Soren spoke about several issues and connected with the audience. She stressed that the state needs the funds to improve development and welfare programs. Soren believes that Jharkhand’s progress is being slowed down because the central government has not paid its debts.
“Jharkhand will fight for its rights,” Soren said. She criticized the central government for not taking care of Jharkhand’s financial needs. Soren stated that the state will continue to fight until it receives what it is owed.
The announcement of another “Hool” is important because it brings to mind historical rebellions led by tribal communities fighting against injustice. The term “Hool” represents a united uprising against what is seen as exploitation and neglect. This sets the stage for possible political actions to put pressure on the central government to release the funds. These funds are very important for the state’s financial health and for starting new projects.
