The BJP does drama, oppresses the tribals, see how much oppression has happened to the tribals everywhere, but I built Birsa Munda College, I built the statue of Birsa Munda. I have worked for them."
The Chief Minister also spoke on the issue of religious inclusivity, asserting that Lord Ram belongs to everyone and is not the property of any one group.
