Bharatiya Janata Party’s two-day national convention is in progress in Delhi. Anant Ojha, a member of the Rajmahal legislature, met Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh Mandaviya while in Delhi who is also attending the national convention. In this instance, he presented the subject of a medical college to be opened in Sahebganj district.
The North Santal Pargana region’s isolated Sahibganj district is situated 500 kilometres from the state capital and 160 kilometres from the sub-capital Dumka. The district’s residents are struggling as a result of inadequate medical care. Because of the region’s geographic location, even for general issues, one must rely on other states.
Thus, this is the ideal location for a medical college. As a result, the Sahebganj district’s children will also receive education and medical care. The Central Government designated Sahebgaj as an aspirational district.
Under Prime Minister Modi’s direction, four lanes and the Ganga bridge are currently being built in the Sahebganj district. As part of the Namami Gange scheme, ghats were built. The harbour was constructed. The MLA was given the assurance by the Union Health Minister that steps will soon be taken to establish a medical college.
Today after the day of the expansion of Council of Ministers, Chief Minister Champai Soren met with Rajya Sabha MP and former Chief Minister Shibu Soren. On this occasion, Ministers Mithilesh Kumar Thakur and Basant Soren were in attendance.
The ministers along with the CM met on former CM Shibu Soren on the day after the expansion of the cabinet where a total of 8 ministers took oath in the current state government.
CM Champai Soren had posted on X(Twitter) about his meeting with Shibu Soren and expressed the views and the ideology behind the Jharkhand Movement. On his post he said – ” We have all shared dreams of a better Jharkhand for the state’s tribals, indigenous population, and regular Jharkandis since the beginning of the Jharkhand movement. For us, having power is not a bed of roses but rather a difficult road filled with obligations, where every turn is an attempt to shine a light in a home where there has been darkness for generations. It is necessary to implement positive changes in the lives of all state citizens so that they feel included in the state’s development.”
He also said “Our government will try to bring about a change in the standard of living of as many beneficiaries as possible by expanding the maximum number of public welfare schemes started by Hemant Babu.”
आज मंत्रिमंडल के विस्तार के बाद दिशोम गुरु आदरणीय शिबू सोरेन जी से मिल कर, उनका आशीर्वाद एवं मार्गदर्शन लिया।
झारखंड आंदोलन के समय से, हम सभी ने मिल कर राज्य के आदिवासियों, मूलवासियों एवं आम झारखंडियों के लिए बेहतर झारखंड का सपना देखा था।
Hundreds of people from the district’s rural areas participated in a silent protest at Randhir Verma Chowk, calling for an investigation into land scams and the resolution of land-related issues. The protest was organised by Bhoomi Bachao Sangharsh Morcha, with Ramesh Kumar Rahi serving as its leader.
Put an end to the looting of government and CNT land in Dhokra. Look into cases of dismissals based on false pleas. Look into compensation scams on Ring Road. Finish the investigation into Golakdih compensation scams soon. Look into the land that Deepak Saw took in Ring Road. In exchange, the compensation received was Rs. 1 crore 82 lakh, and no money was received. Dozens of demonstrators with placards bearing slogans inscribed on them sat in silent protest.
The land scam worth Rs. 1000 crore
The silent protest’s leader, Ramesh Kumar Rahi, claimed that Ring Road in Dhanbad is the name of a land scam worth just Rs 200 crore. In addition, there have been numerous other land scams. A scam estimated to be worth Rs 1000 crore will come out if the entire situation is thoroughly investigated.
The ten year long protest
According to Ramesh Rahi, there has been a dispute over the amount of compensation and the investigation of land scams since 2013. Since 2016, ACB has been looking into the land scam. Owners of land do not have rights even in 2024. Although the compensation amount was disclosed, it did not reach Ryot. Hundreds of individuals from all over the district have taken part in the silent protest, according to Ramesh Rahi. These are the same people who are dealing with issues related to their land. They weren’t invited by means of payment. Everybody has arrived independently with their demands.
The local villagers participated in the nonverbal protest.
Golakdih, Dhaiya, Plani, Kanglo, Tila Tand, Gopinathdih, Manai Tand Ring Road, Pichdi, and other rural districts are among the villages that have brought people to the area, according to Ramesh Rahi.
Two-hour silent, symbolic demonstration
This decade-long movement has, according to Ramesh Rahi, regained its intensity. A two-hour silent symbolic protest is taking place today. Next up will be the development of a plan for more violent agitation. The state’s corrupt administration will be awakened by us.

Baidyanath Ram claimed that his name in the cabinet minister list was pre-approved by the state JMM team. Further in the video he pointed out that pressure from congress government resulted his name to be dropped from the Jharkhand Cabinet Minister list.
It is speculated that Ram might take some big decision in recent times. He had already been a part of BJP in the past and speculations surround that Ram might go back to BJP after he felt cheated by the current Champai Soren’s government.

12 members met Gulam Ahmed Mir, AICC Incharge of Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee on 15 Feb 2024. The 12 Congress MLAs collectively demanded the new cabinet minister which was yet to be appointed at that time should not contain old cabinet ministers. Rather new and young faces should be given a chance as cabinet minister in Jharkhand.
Further on 16 Feb 2024, during the oath-taking ceremony of new cabinet-appointed ministers, these 12 congress MLAs were locked themselves in Room No 107 of the circuit house in Ranchi. The action showed their unhappiness towards the formation of new cabinet ministers since their demand was not taken into consideration and the same old faces were appointed as the cabinet minister in Champai Soren’s Government.
Taking the situation under control Gulam Ahmed Mir and Alamgir Alam visited the Room in Circuit House to compromise the matter and make the opposing Congress MLAs join the Oath-taking ceremony in the governor’s house, Ranchi.

Today on 17 Feb 2024, Irfan Ansari released a statement to the media expressing his unhappiness with the appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand.
He said “We came to the Chairman (of PCC, Rajesh Thakur) today. We are 12 MLAs. A report was submitted to the high command that the (sitting) four ministers were not working properly. The (party) workers are not happy with us and until our demands are fulfilled, we will stay together.”
Appointed Cabinet Ministers are inefficient in performing their work
The 12 Congress MLAs who are against the newly appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand claimed that they have been cheated.
4 MLAs who are made the cabinet minister in Champai Soren’s government are not able to perform their work efficiently. During their past tenures, the 12 MLAs have complained to the Congress Committee that these 4 MLAs did not respond to their phone calls and they were not efficient in working for the people of Jharkhand. Shockingly it was also mentioned that PA of cabinet ministers used to block their calls in the past.
MLAs might travel to Bangalore or Jaipur
According to a recent report by Kashish News, the protesting Congress MLAs might travel to Jaipur or Bangalore. Further, the MLAs have stated that if the corrective action is not taken soon then they might not even attend the State Assembly Sessions in order to protest against the newly appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand.
4 congress appointed cabinet ministers
In the recently formed Jharkhand Cabinet, 4 MLAs are from Congress party. 12 protesting congress MLAs have shown their remark over these 4 MLAs in Jharkhand.
The names of the congress MLAs appointed under Jharkhand cabinet ministers are Alamgir Alam, Dr Rameshwar Oraon, Badal Patralekh and Banna Gupta.
Will MLAs revolt in Jharkhand? Will JMM + Congress alliance sustain in Jharkhand?
The Jharkhand political chaos has not even ended recently in Jharkhand and yet another phase of chaos has again started in Jharkhand. After Hemant Soren’s arrest by the ED and Champai Soren becoming the new chief minister of Jharkhand, the political stability seemed to be controlled in Jharkhand.
However, the delay in the formation of Cabinet Ministers again started creating an atmosphere of political tension in Jharkhand. The Lok Sabha election is going to start on 16 April 2024, and the Jharkhand State Election is also nearing which is going to be conducted during the November-Dec month of 2024. The political chaos in Jharkhand has not yet ended.
12 congress MLAs protesting and unhappy against the newly formed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand is raising questions about whether the double engine government that is the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Congress alliance will be able to sustain itself in Jharkhand.
Or will this political instability be a positive sign for the BJP government in the upcoming elections in the state? We are yet to experience.
JMM initiated Nyay Yatra across Jharkhand to protest against the arrest of former chief minister, Hemant Soren. JMM workers have decided to go door to door reaching people and spreading awareness about how the central government is using ED and CBI as a tool to collapse governments across the nation.
Further Jharkhand Mukti Morcha will inform people how Hemant Soren worked for the upliftment of people in Jharkhand and still got arrested due to pressure of Modi government in power.
Mantu Yadav, JMM leader from Bokaro said in his facebook post “People are automatically joining the Nyaya Yatra of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in protest against the release of Jharkhand’s popular leader Hemant Soren and the injustice being done to Jharkhand. People have understood that Hemant Soren said that the central government has done all this to prevent the poor from getting residential accommodation, arranging for poor children to study abroad, benefiting from the scheme to adolescent girls and providing employment to 75 percent of the local people.”
Nyay Yatra in Jamshedpur by JMM
