The ruling alliance in Jharkhand released the ‘7 guarantees', that include social justice by enhancing reservations for STs to 28 per cent, SCs to 12 per cent and OBCs to 27 per cent from 26 per cent, 10 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively, PTI reported.

“Whenever we talk about any guarantees, Prime Minister Narendra Modi immediately criticises it... PM Modi came here and during his speech, he mentioned my name and said that there is no reliability of Congress's guarantees... Congress fulfills all its guarantees but Modi's guarantees never get fulfilled,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said.

The INDIA bloc promised to increase the free monthly ration for the poor to 7 kg from 5 kg and make available gas cylinders at 450 in Jharkhand.

Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren said, "After this election, the coming government will move forward with the guarantees that we have launched today."
