Working BJP president JP Nadda on Sunday said that the Assembly polls in Jharkhand are not about the election of an MLA or Chief Minister but for the future of Jharkhand.

"I salute the land of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. This is not an election about making somebody MLA or CM but about the future of Jharkhand," he said while asserting that the BJP gave a "stable and corruption-free government" in Jharkhand.

The BJP leader counted some important legislations brought by the Central government including the abrogation of Article 370 and Triple Talaq and credited a "strong leadership" for doing this.

Nadda said that the Triple Talaq was abolished in several Islamic countries as well. Taking a dig at the Congress-JMM alliance, Nadda said this alliance is only for the "chair" and that it has nothing to do with development and people of Jharkhand.

The BJP leader also referred to the money allocated to Jharkhand under the 14th Finance Commission and said that the amount was much higher than given to the state under 13th Finance Commission.

Talking about the defence preparedness, the working BJP president said, "Not a single gun was bought during UPA tenure. The demand of 'One Rank, One Pension'&nbsp;was pending since 1971. When we came to power, we gave OROP to 22 lakh faujis. 36 Rafales are being inducted into our fleet. 1.83 lakhs bullet-proof jackets have been provided to the military. Not just that, we are even exporting that to the world," he said.

Referring to the various welfare schemes launched by the Central and state government for farmers, Nadda said, "When we talk of double engine government..we don't that just for speeches."

He also talked in detail about the various other welfare schemes launched by the government and how they have benefited the people.

In particular, Nadda mentioned about the Aayushman Bharat scheme and recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the scheme in Jharkhand.

He also expressed happiness over "Naxalism being uprooted."Praising the Prime Minister, the working BJP president said, "Modijee ki sirf ek jati hai -- gareeb. Gareeb ki seva krna -- yahi unki jati hai."&nbsp;

A Delhi court on Saturday allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to quiz Christian Michel, alleged `middleman` in AgustaWestland case, as a witness in a separate defence deal case.

Special CBI judge Arvind Kumar has allowed the CBI to examine Michel as a witness in the case on December 5 and 6 inside the Tihar Jail where he is lodged for his alleged involvement in AgustaWestland defence deal case.

The probe agency had sought the court`s permission to probe Michel in a corruption case against Brigadier VS Saini, the then officer-in-charge of the trial team of the proposed procurement of 197 Reconnaissance and Surveillance (R&amp;S) helicopters for the Indian Armed Forces Army Aviation and Air Force in 2008.

According to CBI, Saini allegedly abused his official position and allowed AgustaWestland, which was one of the three bidders, to participate in the evaluation trials of helicopters.

He allegedly wrote a letter to Weapon and Equipment Directorate in favour of the company.

The CBI said that questioning of Michel will help to unearth facts related to demand of US dollar 5 million by Saini for releasing the Field Technical Report in favour of AgustaWestland.

The agency also cited an unsigned memorandum that was recovered during the searches in 2010 by Swiss authorities.&nbsp;
