Congress leader Pramod Tiwari has accused BJP of attempting to destabilise the Jharkhand government, claiming that the actions involving former state chief minister Champai Soren are part of this effort.
“The Soren family is the one fighting for the welfare of the tribals and he (Hemant Soren) is the CM. The BJP sent him to jail. The High Court, while making a strong comment, granted him the bail. Because their eyes are on Jharkhand and they want to destabilise the government. That is why the elections of Jharkhand or Maharashtra have not been announced. They wanted to create disturbance there and by creating disturbance, they wanted to destabilise the government. Champai Soren is one step in that chain,” Tiwari, MP, told ANI.
Champai Soren has chosen to join the BJP and has voiced his confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Tiwari also criticised the BJP regarding the ‘Bengal Bandh’ call, stating that the party’s intentions seemed “something else.” Soren mentioned that the CBI is investigating the tragic rape and murder case involving the Kolkata doctor and emphasised that the perpetrators should receive the maximum punishment.
“The way the BJP party workers occupied the railway track, the way they beat people and the police being attacked, this seems that the intention of the BJP is something else. So much violence is being done by the BJP people. The investigation is also being done by the CBI. So if there is any shortcoming, it is the CBI which is not able to do anything right now,” he said.
“The state government had investigated and handed over the accused. Now tell us what action is being taken, CBI should tell. The way BJP workers are disturbing the peace in the name of bandh is being shown in the channels. I condemn it,” he added.
BJP organized a ’12-hour Bengal Bandh’ in response to Kolkata police using lathi-charge, water cannons, and tear gas against protesters during the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ rally. The murder and alleged sexual assault of a female trainee doctor on August 9 at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital sparked national outrage, leading to rallies across various states in the country.
