Senior BJP MP Sanjay Seth unleashed a blistering attack on Jharkhand’s ruling dispensation, claiming the state’s entire bureaucratic and political apparatus is dedicated to safeguarding corrupt officials and politicians. In a fiery address delivered amid rising public discontent, Seth exposed what he described as systemic rot permeating every level of governance.
‘Jharkhand’s complete administrative setup is immersed in patronizing the corrupt,’ Seth declared to an audience packed with party workers and locals in the capital. He delved into specifics, referencing stalled probes into massive scams in coal block allocations and infrastructure projects, where influential figures within the government are said to have pulled strings to evade justice.
Seth lambasted the state leadership for prioritizing power retention over public welfare, alleging that tenders are rigged and contracts awarded to cronies. ‘This is not governance; it’s a protection racket for thieves,’ he asserted, backed by data from recent CAG reports highlighting irregularities worth thousands of crores.
As Jharkhand navigates pre-election fervor, Seth’s critique amplifies the opposition’s narrative of a corrupt regime. He outlined a vision for reform under BJP stewardship, including fast-track courts for corruption cases and digital transparency in all dealings. ‘We will dismantle this corrupt empire brick by brick,’ he pledged.
The speech resonated deeply in a state plagued by unemployment and developmental delays, often linked to graft. Rival parties dismissed Seth’s claims as election rhetoric, but with whistleblowers coming forward, pressure is mounting. Seth’s bold stance positions him as a frontrunner in the anti-corruption discourse, potentially reshaping alliances and voter alignments ahead of polls.
In the broader context, this confrontation highlights Jharkhand’s governance challenges, where resource wealth contrasts sharply with administrative failures. Seth’s call to action may just ignite the spark for meaningful change.
