November 2016 marked a tumultuous period in Jharkhand. The Raghubar Das-led BJP government had passed amendments to two centuries-old land laws — the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) and Santhal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) Acts — that would have ensured easy transfer of land for industrial use. As the amendments led to massive protests by tribal communities across the state and with close to 200 delegations calling on then Governor Droupadi Murmu, eight months later, in June 2017, she returned the laws asking the government to clarify how the amendments would benefit tribals.
A key Raj Bhavan staffer who was privy to the events around that time says Murmu mulled over at the laws at a close-door meeting, at the end of which she made up her mind to send them back, saying, “Mere kalam se koi injustice nahi hoga (I will not let any injustice happen).”
