Recent Campaign Activities
In the lead-up to this roadshow, PM Modi has been actively campaigning across Jharkhand. Just days earlier, he addressed rallies in Chaibasa and Garhwa, emphasizing the BJP’s manifesto which focuses on development and social justice. The manifesto includes promises such as:
- Implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC)
- Returning land occupied by infiltrators to tribal communities

These initiatives are designed to resonate with local voters, particularly tribal communities who have historically faced socio-economic challenges.
Expected Impact on Voter Sentiment
The BJP’s strategy appears focused on addressing local concerns while countering opposition narratives. PM Modi has criticized rival parties like the Congress and JMM for what he describes as “vote-bank politics” that threaten the identity of Jharkhand. He has pledged that a BJP-led government will prioritize the needs of tribal populations and work towards eradicating poverty.
Key Messages from PM Modi
During his rallies, PM Modi has articulated several key messages aimed at swaying public opinion:
- Commitment to Tribal Rights: Assurance that land usurped by infiltrators will be returned.
- Economic Development: Promises of job creation and infrastructure development.
- Cultural Respect: Emphasis on honoring local leaders and historical figures from Jharkhand.
Logistics and Security Measures
Given the scale of this event, extensive logistical arrangements have been made. The traffic police have issued advisories to restrict vehicle entry into Ranchi during the roadshow hours to ensure smooth movement and safety for attendees. Additionally, a no-fly zone has been established around key areas to prevent disruptions.
