ranchi, Dec 25 A man adorned with heavy gold ornaments captured everyone's attention during the event held at the jharkhand bjp office in ranchi on Wednesday, commemorating the 100th birth anniversary of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His name is Thakur Manoj Singh, and he has recently gained fame as the 'Gold Man'.

From being a laborer to owning a transport company and becoming a bjp leader, this individual has truly come a long way. Manoj, who relocated to mumbai three decades ago as a worker, is now recognized as one of the largest entrepreneurs in Maharashtra. He has provided employment to around 500 individuals in his transport business.

Thakur Manoj Singh is originally from Kutlu, a small village situated in the Chauparan block of Hazaribagh district in Jharkhand. Due to the poor financial situation of his family, Manoj moved to mumbai at the age of 18. After several days of searching for work in mumbai without success, he began his journey as a laborer. He often carried goods on his back and sometimes using a cart. Eventually, he secured a position in a transport company.

As he gained skills and knowledge, he launched his own small transportation business in 2010, initially focusing on shipping goods from mumbai to Rajkot. Over the years, the company flourished, and today it operates over 100 trucks. Manoj is well-liked among the approximately 15 lakh residents of jharkhand living in mumbai and its surrounding areas.

Manoj is also engaged in politics; in 2014, he became a member of the bharatiya janata party (BJP). He had the opportunity to collaborate with then education Minister and mumbai bjp President ashish Shelar. During this collaboration, he advocated for the establishment of the bharatiya janata party 'Jharkhand Cell' in maharashtra, which was ultimately approved by the party, leading to the formation of the 'Jharkhand Cell' on january 7, 2021, with Thakur Manoj Singh appointed as its president.

Thakur Manoj Singh mentions that approximately 15 lakh individuals from jharkhand reside in mumbai and nearby regions, and he is dedicated to fostering their unity. He states that while jharkhand is his birthplace, maharashtra represents his 'karmabhoomi'. Every year, he organizes an event in mumbai under the banner of the BJP's 'Jharkhand Cell', featuring participation from senior leaders of the jharkhand BJP.

Regarding his fondness for gold jewelry, Thakur Manoj Singh expresses, "I experienced significant poverty during my childhood and always aspired to achieve financial success through hard work. god has graciously bestowed success upon me, allowing me to enjoy a carefree lifestyle. My love for gold jewelry is immense."
