Narendra Modi held a rally today in Jharkhand's capital, Ranchi, where the BJP's prime ministerial candidate wondered why, despite its enormous mineral resources, the state faces poverty.

Highlights of Mr Modi's speech:

People of Jharkhand want to decide their own future

They want to use their capabilities to improve conditions of their people

But the center govt didn't listen to them, ignored them Atal (Bihari Vajpayee) ji understood the feelings, needs and ambitions of the people of Jharkhand

The dreams, vision that Atal ji had for Jharkhand need to be fulfilled

Chhattisgarh developed and progressed while Jharkhand lagged behind
