As Koderma and Giridih have sizeable population of backwards and extremely backward castes, the Prime Minister also raised the issue of constitution of OBC commission which will address the issue of backward castes in country.

The Prime Minister, on the occasion, also highlighted the slew of schemes such as opening up of Central School in Koderma, setting up medical and engi- neering colleges in Koderma, Model College in Giridih and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Deoghar. Urging the people to reject Congress and its ‘Mahamilawatis’ gang, Modi said that these parties which promotes dynas- tic politics focused on self interest and gains. Cautioning the people he said, “If the Congress and Mahagathbandhan parties comes to power it will lead to political instability in the country.” The Narendra Modi rally in Jamua was also show of strength of NDA in State as apart from PM Modi, Chief Minister Raghubar Das, State BJP in-charge Mangal Pandey the BJP candidates from Koderma (Annapurna Devi) and Giridih (Chandra Prakash Chaudhary) were also present at the rally.
