"I admired their talent, diligence, honesty and leadership. This is the reason that there are a lot of Adivasi ministers in the BJP government... We should not forget how Congress treated President Droupadi Murmu. They tried their best to not let her win... Congress cannot see tribals at successful positions... What happened with Champai Soren is an example of it," he said.

Attacking the Hemant Soren government in Jharkhand, the PM said, "JMM-Congress kept Jharkhand backwards... BJP made Jharkhand the centre of big schemes. Earlier, schemes were started from Delhi, now many schemes have been started from Jharkhand."

He said that the BJP government is going to spend Rs 80,000 crores on 60,000 villages in the country.

Earlier in the day, the prime minister was in Bokaro where he told an an election rally in Jharkhand 'ek rahoge toh safe rahoge' (be united to be safe).

He claimed that till there was no unity between OBCs, tribals and Dalits, the Congress kept forming governments at the Centre. 

"Beware of Congress-JMM's evil designs and conspiracies. They can go to any extent to grab power. Congress has been an opponent of SC, ST, and OBC unity since Independence. Till there was no unity, Congress kept forming governments at the Centre and looted the nation," he said.

"More than 125 sub-castes are considered OBCs in the Chotanagpur region. Congress-JMM wants to break the OBC unity by pitting sub-castes against each other like Yadav versus Kurmi and Sonar versus Lohar. I warn you, 'ek rahoge toh safe rahoge'," he added.
