Hemant Soren, the chief minister of Jharkhand, made a subtle jab at the BJP on Thursday in response to news that the Election Commission of India (ECI) had written to Ramesh Bais, the state governor, requesting that the latter be disqualified from the assembly. The ECI action followed Bais’ request for its opinion regarding a complaint from the state opposition BJP that Soren is allegedly holding an office-of-profit by obtaining a mining lease for stone chips in his name.
After the state cabinet approved a proposal to authorise compensatory leaves for them, Hemant Soren Zindabad, several Jharkhand Police officers thanked him in a video that he posted on Twitter.
According to Soren, one can purchase constitutional institutions but not public support. “My strength is the love and support of hundreds of our dedicated police officers in Jharkhand. We’re prepared! His tweet’s translation from Hindi stated, “Hail Jharkhand.
70,000 police officers thanked the chief minister for the cabinet decision, according to some images supplied by Soren’s office.
To refute the accusations made against the chief minister, Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party convened a press conference earlier in the day. JMM MP Vijay Kumar Hansdak stated during a news conference that a “conspiracy is ongoing to destabilise the government of Jharkhand.”
He continued by saying that some “forces” could not stand the job being done in the state under Soren’s administration. “We’ll keep helping the residents of the state. Every plot of theirs will be revealed. JMM will keep advancing Jharkhand’s growth, according to Hansdak.
The ECI decision comes shortly after CBI raids in the Bihar land-for-job case and those in the Delhi excise policy scandal, both of which were conducted in areas with non-BJP-controlled governments.
However, Soren’s office said in a statement that they had not heard from the governor or the ECI.
“The ECI report, which otherwise has a sealed cover, appears to have been written by BJP politicians, including a BJP MP and his puppet journalists. This flagrant abuse of constitutional rights and the entire seizure of the BJP headquarters on Deendayal Upadhyay Margin by the party is unprecedented in Indian democracy, the statement claimed.
