The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the ruling party in Jharkhand, has decided to confront the Modi government at the center by adopting a 50-point resolution.

This resolution was passed unanimously during the JMM’s 46th foundation day celebrations at Gandhi Maidan, Dumka, on 2 February, reported The Hindu. 

A key highlight of the resolution was the outright rejection of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Uniform Civil Code (UCC), and National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state.

"The Citizenship Amendment Act, Uniform Civil Code, and National Register of Citizens should be completely rejected in Jharkhand," the party resolution declared, quoted as saying by The Hindu. 

The JMM also demanded strict enforcement of the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act and the Santal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) Act, which are crucial for safeguarding tribal land rights. 

Additionally, the party urged the central government to clear "Rs 1.36 lakh crore dues" owed to Jharkhand. 

Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Hemant Soren strongly criticized the Union Budget 2025, alleging that Jharkhand was neglected. He accused the central government of "cheating" the people of the state and claimed that "some people with the feudal mindset" do not want the residents of tribal-dominated Jharkhand to stand on their feet."
