Speaking at a rally in Singhbhum, Sai alleged that corruption within the JMM-Congress coalition government was the reason for Jharkhand's stagnation.

Campaigning for BJP candidate Geeta Kora, Sai stressed the need to defeat the Congress and JMM in the elections. "Congress and JMM needed to be given a befitting reply in this election," he said.
He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for initiatives benefiting the poor, such as housing, LPG access, toilets, and banking.
Sai outlined Modi's economic goals, aiming for India to become the world's third-largest economy by 2029 and a developed nation by 2047.
"The objective is to make the country the third economic power in the world by 2029 and a developed nation by 2047," he said.
Singhbhum will go to polls on May 13 along with Khunti, Lohardaga and Palamu.
