Hemant Soren accuses BJP of blocking schemes, tarnishing Jharkhand's image in polls
India TodayJharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Wednesday accused the BJP of undermining his government’s development schemes and tarnishing the state’s image through “shadow campaigns” on social media. Claiming that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has issued four instalments to 57 beneficiaries, Soren said the BJP is attempting to block these efforts through legal and political means. “Crores of rupees have been spent by the BJP in the last 30 days on Facebook ads from accounts like 'Jharkhand Chaupal' and 'Ranchi Chaupal' to spread religious tension and create discord,” he said. "They divert the public's attention by raising religious issues and disputes with neighbouring countries.” Soren said his JMM party remains committed to addressing real problems without resorting to divisive tactics, emphasising that “choosing the path of violence is a symbol of cowardice.” Published By: Vadapalli Nithin Kumar Published On: Nov 14, 2024
