Ajoy Kumar slams Saryu Roy for failing on promises, neglecting local development.
Key Points:
– Ajoy Kumar criticizes Saryu Roy’s five-year performance.
– Claims Roy ignored water and road issues, neglecting citizens.
– Allegations of corporate favoritism and abandoning the poor.
JAMSHEDPUR – Former MP and Congress leader Dr. Ajoy Kumar accused Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Roy of failing to deliver on crucial promises over the last five years, leaving citizens without basic services and favoring corporate interests.
Kumar criticized Roy for neglecting essential development projects in Jamshedpur East.
He pointed out that, despite repeated assurances, no improvement has been made in the Moharda Water Supply Scheme.
Residents in areas like Birsanagar and Bagunhatu continue to receive contaminated and foul-smelling water.
In addition, Roy has failed to fix the road between Jemco Chowk and the South Gate, a vital route for heavy vehicles.
The road remains in poor condition, leading to frequent accidents.
“For five years, this road’s repair has been pending, and many have lost their lives due to this neglect,” Dr. Kumar stated.
Delays in Promises
Kumar further noted that property rights for Jamshedpur East residents, a long-standing issue, have also been left unresolved.
After 25 years of promises from previous BJP administrations, Roy has only further delayed action on this matter.
Meanwhile, residents in slums like Kalyan Nagar and Indranagar continue to live in dire conditions.
Despite his promises during the election, Roy has not improved these areas.
Kumar alleged, “Saryu Roy forgets about the poor after winning elections.
He focuses on benefiting corporate houses instead.”
Kumar also highlighted that Roy had promised to bring new jobs to the youth and prevent Jamshedpur from becoming a “graveyard for companies.”
However, during his tenure, no new companies have opened, and Roy failed to stop the relocation of a company from Tata Motors to Kharagpur.
According to Kumar, Roy has only helped his family members and ignored the needs of the wider community.
Rising Crime and Absenteeism
Dr. Kumar pointed to the increasing crime rate in Jamshedpur, with thefts and murders on the rise.
He accused Roy of not taking action to curb these issues, especially in areas like Birsanagar, where land mafias operate with impunity.
“Several of these mafias are under Roy’s protection,” Kumar alleged.
Kumar also criticized Roy for being absent when it mattered most.
He referred to an incident involving the district administration dismantling a warehouse at Lalbaba Foundry.
While Roy had previously assured the public that he would intervene, he was missing when the authorities arrived.
“Saryu Roy is an expert in disappearing when his constituents need him the most,” said Kumar.
As a closing statement, Kumar remarked, “The people of Jamshedpur will not forget Saryu Roy’s broken promises and will hold him accountable.”
Saryu Ro’s Key Failures as Alleged by Ajoy Kumar:
-
Water Supply: No improvements in Moharda Water Supply Scheme.
-
Road Condition: Jemco Chowk to South Gate road left unrepaired for five years.
-
Property Rights: No resolution on ownership issues for Jamshedpur East residents.
-
Job Creation: No new companies opened, and many employees lost their jobs.
According to sources, Saryu Roy is known for his smart political moves and finesse. His reply to the charges leveled by Dr. Ajoy against him is being keenly awaited by the political observers.
One thing is certain: the political tussle between Saryu Roy and Dr. Ajoy Kumar in the run up to the assembly elections is likely to get more and more interesting.
