"The former Jharkhand CM is presently incarcerated due to corruption charges, and I am determined to eradicate this menace. In the coming five years, legal repercussions await all those who have engaged in corrupt practices," Modi declared during a campaign rally in Gumla's Sisai, advocating for BJP candidate Samir Oraon from the Lohardaga Lok Sabha constituency.

Modi further accused the leaders of the INDIA bloc of having very high stakes in corruption, referring to the way they openly went on record with rallies for corrupt leaders in towns like Delhi and Ranchi.

Modi accused the Congress of having failed to develop tribal areas in the past due to the party's failure to extract food grains out of cold storage houses during the UPA regime between 2004 to 2014, which left the tribal children starving to death.

"I assure you, no obstacle will impede the distribution of free rations to the impoverished. This is my solemn pledge," affirmed the Prime Minister. He underscored that the NDA government has democratized internet access, which was previously limited to the affluent during Congress rule.
