Potential Economic Blockade Threatened Over Jharkhand Mineral Regulation Bill

The BCPM has warned that a failure to pull back the amendment could lead to an organized economic shutdown. The party says that blocking the movement of minerals would cripple the state’s economy, which heavily depends on mining revenue for welfare programmes. It also pledged solidarity with ongoing student protests over JPSC and CGL issues, accusing the central government of using the student movement for political gain.
