Ranchi: Jharkhand voted in its maiden majority-led government during 2014 and Chief Minister Raghubar Das has oft stated that politics for him is a medium to bring about change and put smiles back on the faces of more than 3 crore Jharkhandis who suffered to a considerable extent for about a decade owing to political instability, scams and other forms of graft. The vision of the Chief Minister and his team, to make the state rank among India’s prosperous ones, concretised with the Momentum Jharkhand Investors Summit 2017 and Mahendra Singh Dhoni was brand ambassador for the event that was nothing short of a platform to showcase the potential of a sleeping giant.
