RAIPUR: Jharakhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Thursday slammed the Centre over the issues like inflation and unemployment and claimed that the welfare of poor, tribals and Dalits was missing from the Union government’s thought process.
Soren also said that the Naxal menace in various states had come down due to efforts made by governments there.

He was speaking to reporters at the Swami Vivekananda Airport in the Chhattisgarh’s capital city, where he arrived to attend the inaugural day ceremony of the five-day-long ‘National Tribal Dance Festival’ and ‘Rajyotsava’ 2021 (statehood celebration) as chief guest.
छत्तीसगढ़ सरकार के पदाधिकारियों को अनेक-अनेक शुभकामनाएं और जोहार। इस महोत्सव में प्रतिभाग करने वाले देश-विदेश के विभिन्न कलाकारों को भी मेरी शुभकामनाएं और जोहार। मुझे विश्वास है इस अभूतपूर्व कार्यक्रम से आदिवासी समाज की समृद्ध सभ्यता और संस्कृति को एक नयी ऊर्जा मिलेगी। pic.twitter.com/Vwq8560Iux

Asked about the Union government’s functioning, Soren said, “The Centre’s decisions not only affect politicians, but also you (common citizens). Be it inflation, employment or the country’s economy, what is the status now? I think the middle class people, poor, tribals, Dalits, backwards and minorities have no place in their (central government’s) thoughts.”
On the Naxal menace, Soren said Naxalism is not only the problem of Jharkhand, but of the country.
आज छत्तीसगढ़ के रायपुर में आदिवासी नृत्य महोत्सव में शामिल होने का सौभाग्य मिला। यह सिर्फ एक नृत्य महोत्सव नहीं बल्कि उस समाज के प्रति सम्मान है जो सदियों से शोषित होते हुए शैक्षणिक, सामाजिक और आर्थिक रूप से पिछड़ा रहा है। महोत्सव के आयोजन हेतु मुख्यमंत्री @bhupeshbaghel जी तथा pic.twitter.com/1WVvjq1yxf

“If you look at the statistics, it shows a steady decline (in Naxal incidents) in Jharkhand. Naxalism has been brought under control (in Naxal-hit states) due to the efforts of various state governments. We will do even better work in future in this regard,” he said.

Noting that Jharkhand shares a border with Chhattisgarh, Soren said both the states are working together to deal with the problem of Naxalism.
Commenting on the opposition BJP in Chhattisgarh, which is ruled by the Congress, he said the opposition should play a meaningful role.
There should not be an attempt to create obstruction in the working of the government or to conspire against it, he said.
“If there is a positive opposition, then development takes place at a faster pace,” he added.
