"They (BJP) Want Power": Jharkhand Chief Minister After Cash Haul Row
NDTV
On why he thinks the BJP is coming after him, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren told NDTV, "Maybe because we are in the government."
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has minced no word in attacking the BJP for allegedly working in the shadows to destabilise his government, which is in an alliance with the Congress.
Mr Soren's Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, or JMM, has been attacking the BJP ever since three Jharkhand Congress MLAs were arrested with Rs 48 lakh in cash in West Bengal's Howrah last month, which the Congress alleged was money paid to the MLAs to topple the Jharkhand government. The BJP has denied these allegations, while the MLAs have said the money was for sari shopping.
"Our alliance partner has indicated that something is going on. We have taken note of their concern and we are analysing it. Their (Congress MLAs) behaviour seems to have changed in the last three days in the assembly. There is every indication to distract the government," Mr Soren told NDTV in an interview.
On whether he would have ever imagined some MLAs of the alliance partner would work to break the government, Mr Soren said, "The situation is such as it's not about breaking the government, but buying the government. Who will become MLAs, who will become Chief Minister, these are decided by the people. But it seems our leaders have lost faith in governance and only believe in wealth."
According to sources, Mr Soren will meet Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar today to stake claim to form the government.
