Baharagora: District Congress leaders staged a dharna before the Baharagora block office on Tuesday to protest the land acquisition law of Jharkhand. Leading the protestors, state Congress president and former MP of Jamshedpur Dr Ajoy Kumar said the state government had passed the land acquisition bill with the sole objective of benefitting capitalists.
The said law threatens to end the very existence of all Adivasis and Moolvasis of the state, he said.
Kumar alleged that corruption had taken over every department of the state government. Only the grand alliance of Opposition parties can save the country and the state, said Kumar.
Among those present on the occasion included Arun Yadav, Renu Bala Mahato, Sanat Kumar Bhol and Tapas Mahapatra.
