So you agree JMM has fools in their party 😂😂

[@sarikabpd]

Apprehensively she's using her degrees in righteous way..after all what are the degrees for....and I feel she has the gift of gabs🎉🎉❤

[@AakashHansda-jo5ce]

@@sarikabpd 😂😂

[@atutola1]

I have watched the video till the end but I could not get the manifesto of the party and her agenda regarding the upliftment of Adivasis in her state and what her strategies to overcome these shortcomings as she forgot to mention this in her so-called debutant interview rather it was a cynical and simply a self-promotion. And I guess that the whole interview was about why and how she joined the party and in some instants she was running out of vocabulary and therefore English speaking should not be an ability to became CM rather we should count his/her ability of ground work .Hence she is indeed next Rabri Devi in making for me and speaking of which she failed to answer this too

[@tudurusika14]

She is educated lady , She can speaks santali, English, Hindi oriya fluently ❤❤❤.... Absolutely Next cm of jharkhand

[@rajes2324]

She is not fluent in Santhali although it's her mother tounge.

[@TheRanjeet1989]

Should have questioned regarding the money found people related to congress. 325+ crore , 35 crore. Where these money coming from. Also what about there promise of 5lakh job,, they can't even conduct JSSC cgl exam. The corruption level is such that people related to CM have been arrested by ED having hundreds of Admit card of government job aspirant.

[@vegnes79]

BJP statement

[@bishunhembrom143]

It's a BJP statement but 35 crore is a currupt money but 325 which was found in dhiraj shahu's home that was varified money you should know about that, understand.😇😇😇

[@mlkisku4173]

Why did not complete 6th jpsc and Jssc CGL BJP government in their period.
