JMM workers took out protest rallies in Dumka, Giridih and Bokaro. In Giridih the agitation was led by MLAs Sudivya Kumar and Sarfaraj Ahmed.
Differences within the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in Jharkhand came to the fore on November 5 when its partners Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Congress took to the streets in Ranchi against the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons to Chief Minister Hemant Soren but Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) stayed away.
RJD, which has only one member in the State Assembly, said it had not received any official communication on the protest.
“We have not been communicated anything about the protest by our alliance partners. JMM takes its own decisions and executes them with the Congress. Nothing is discussed with us. So, we decided to stay away from the protest,” RJD State president Sanjay Singh Yadav told PTI.
The ED had summoned Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for questioning on November 3 in a money-laundering case linked to alleged illegal mining in the State. Mr. Soren, however, skipped summons and went to Chhattisgarh on Thursday to attend a pre-scheduled programme and is stated to have sought three weeks' time to appear before the Central probe agency.
