The assurance was held out to Chief Minister Raghubar Das when he met Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar here and discussed various environmental issues concering the state.
Later, Javadekar told PTI that despite being rich in natural recources, development of Jharkhand had not take place the way it should have been due to politcal instablity for the last 12 years.
"Jharkhand despite being a state having huge natural recources, due to political instablity, for the last 12 years, it has not developed the way it should have been. To bring it back to right path, the Chief Minister is committed.
"We have assured all help to him. More than 45 projects which have been cleared by the Centre in the last seven months in Jharkhand, I have given that list to him (Das). If he works on that, then a new way will open for the development of the state. I am confident that this will happen soon," he said.
Das was here to take part in a BJP rally organized to kick start party's assembly poll campaign in Delhi.
