        Two hoardings among ubiquitous billboards put up side by side in poll-bound Jharkhand’s capital, Ranchi, define the key electoral issues, which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hopes will help it retain power and the Opposition Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance to wrest it.The BJP’s hoarding focuses on the “double engine” growth that the party’s governments at the Centre and in Jharkhand have ensured.

"Whatever the Modi government has done in the past five years was to support the rich people and the corporate sector. Congress, on the other hand, has a record of a series of programmes like MGNREGA for the poor and marginalized sections of the society," he said. Confident that a Congress-led government will come to power this time, he added that no poll promise was fulfilled by the government and things have become tough for people under BJP rule across the country. "Before the last Lok Sabha election, BJP had promised to provide two crore job annually for the youths. Five years on, people want to know how many jobs the Modi-led government has provided so far.
