The 56-year-old MP tells TOI’s B Sridhar that JMM’s Champai Soren is no match for him as his connect to the electorate and PM Narendra Modi government’s people-oriented schemes are all this is wanted for his win. Excerpts:
Q: What do you imagine as your achievements in the closing five years?

A: The basis laying of the formidable Dhalbhumgarh airport is one of the achievements of my tenure. It took time and effort but with the make stronger and cooperation of leader minister Raghubar Das and minister of state for civil aviation, Jayant Sinha, the challenge got off. If all is going well, the airport will develop into operational through the end of 2020. Besides resolving long-standing problems in local air connectivity, it'll also boost funding possible in the house. Moreover, opening of closed mines in the Ghatshila sub-division is any other important success. Jadugora and Narwa uranium mines were closed for almost 4 years while Chapri and Rakha mines (each copper mines) were closed for 14 years and 19 years. Kendadih copper mine was closed for 11 years. Together, they provide employment to 20,000 humans. When humans move to vote, some of these will weigh heavy in their minds. Voters have realised the will for a strong PM to keep the momentum of India’s enlargement story and nationwide security.

Q: What about MP LAD funds?

A: People elect MPs for doing development works and it should no longer wonder you that I've spent 90% of MP LAD funds on infrastructure development works such as street, drains, culverts in the rural areas.

Q: The opposition claims that beneath the NDA regime, jobs have shriveled. Your comments?

A: Government information suggests another way. In my very own house, the SMEs in Adityapur commercial belt by myself generated over 4 lakh jobs in the closing five years. EPFO numbers also indicates an encouraging choice of jobs which can be created around the nation in the closing five years.

Q: The merger of presidency number one colleges in the state is a matter the opposition is exploiting on this election. How do you intend to counter it?

A: The CM has already assured that there shall no longer be the merger of the schools. Soon directions might be issued on this regard. The whole idea was to offer high quality education to students, and no longer simply have colleges without students.

Q: What might be your immediate plans if re-elected for a 2d term?


A: Our city is in a selection mode and in the coming years, reputed institutes of engineering, clinical and other skilled classes will open right here. I’m prepared to increase the constituency as an education hub to cater to the desires of the local industries that might also see a enlargement. I need to point out that the first ever all-women university of the state has made its debut right here.


Q: Any regrets?


A: Yes, I would have heaved a sigh of aid if the Ranchi-Tata NH-33 street widening challenge had completed on time. It is one of the lifelines of the state. Nevertheless, each the Centre and the state governments are pursuing it with utmost precedence.
