As East Singhbhum SP, he weeded out crime. As Jamshedpur MP, he wants to stem corruption.
After catapulting himself to national politics with his phenomenal by-election victory, Ajay Kumar pledged honesty to the people of his constituency and said he would go the whole hog to ensure holistic development of both urban and rural pockets, leaving no scope for anomalies.
In his new avatar, the 49-year-old former supercop drew up an exhaustive to-do list on roads, ration cards, education and electricity, projects he means to take up “in the right earnest” during his short stint of two and a half years in Parliament.
For a man on the academic zenith with an MBBS degree from JIPMER, Pondicherry, and an MBA degree from Pondicherry University, it is little surprise that education too figured high on his priority list. Ajay Kumar promised to hold dialogues with corporate bigwigs for and persuade private cradles like Symbiosis, Kalinga Institute and Amity University to set up branches in the steel city.
