Prime Minister Narendra Modi today exhorted people of Jharkhand to rise above caste politics and nepotism and focus on development.

Addressing an election rally in Hazaribagh of Jharkhand, he said,” We have had enough of caste politics and nepotism. It’s time for politics of development. Those who had to loot, have looted to the optimum level. We will do politics of development. We will give you a government committed for development.”
