Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), on Monday, these days Babulal Marandi has emerged as the patron of the corrupt in Jharkhand. The party took a dig at Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Himanta Biswa Sarma and said that BJP has handed over the command of Jharkhand assembly elections to people associated with Vyapam scam and Saradha Chitfund scam.

Addressing a press meet JMM Spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said that NEET scam has happened on the lines of Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh. “The future of lakhs of students of the Country has gone into darkness due to NEET scam. The future of 9 lakh students has gone into darkness due to the irregularities in UGC NET. Vyapam scams happened in Madhya Pradesh for 10 to 12 years. The former CM of this State has been made in-charge of Jharkhand assembly elections,” he added.

Bhattacharya took a dig at BJP and said that it is not wrong for the party to dream of forming the Government here but a leader has been sent here whose deeds the whole Country has seen. He said that the Central Enforcement Directorate comes under the Finance Ministry. He said that the Minister of this Ministry who was there last time is still there.

Taking the name of Nirmala Sitharaman, the party Spokesperson said that the Finance Minister had come to Jharkhand a few days ago. He said that two people had a special meeting with the Finance Minister. “Babulal Marandi had introduced the Finance Minister to these two people. One of them is accused in the Army land scam, he introduced the Finance Minister to him,” he added. He took the name of Vishnu Agarwal here.” The other person is also famous. Now there is a discussion that Rs 1 crore was found from his place. Cartridges were found. The man name is Kamlesh. The Finance Minister was also made to meet him,” he added. He said this meeting happened at a time when he was absconding in the eyes of ED. This means that the minister of the Ministry under which ED is, is talking to the accused of ED. Babulal is with them. It is said from above that BJP is standing against corruption,” he added.

Bhattacharya further said that the JMM had already said, if you people, that is, BJP leaders, want to come to Jharkhand for tourism, then come. “Welcome. But do not come here and do baseless things. Do not dream of forming the Government here,” he added.

The party Spokesperson said that your numbers will not reach double digits. “The number of your MLAs will remain in single digits. You should listen to this carefully. Shivraj Chauhan and Himanta Sarma are the symbols of corruption,” he added.

Bhattacharya said that Babulal has emerged as the patron of the corrupt in recent times. He said that all the ED accused are under his protection. He said that the public will not forgive Babulal and BJP.
