The JMM leader also accused the BJP of using the tribal community as a vote bank and called for greater political assertion by Adivasi groups in the state.
At another meeting in Sonari, Soren said development should translate into opportunities for youth, dignity for workers and rights for tribal and local communities.
He appealed to voters to support JMM candidates in the Assembly election. Party leaders and supporters were also present at the campaign events.
