Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), on Friday, expressed happiness over former Chief Minister, Hemant Soren’s release from jail after 148 days. The party said that it has been a big relief when the Jharkhand High Court has granted bail.

JMM's General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya said in a press conference that the party was saying this from the beginning and Hemant Soren had also put this point on the floor of the Assembly. “He had said that if even one-fourth of the 8-acre land is in my name, then I will retire from politics. Hemant Soren's vows were full of honesty and truth, this bail order has confirmed it. The allegations that were made could not be proved from anywhere,” he added.

Bhattacharya said that bail is not an easy word, it is a bail of the trust of 4 crore people of Jharkhand. “Before the Lok Sabha elections, under a well-planned conspiracy, the opponents wanted to silence the voice of a prominent leader. A conspiracy was hatched to put shackles on the feet of the prominent leader of the India Alliance. Handcuffs were put on hands and shackles on feet to influence the elections. The Enforcement Directorate was a puppet of BJP, which was working on its orders, so that NDA gets an edge in the elections,” he added.

The party General Secretary said that the tribals have shown that not a single seat of tribals in Jharkhand went to BJP's account. “If Hemant Soren had been out during the elections, the political situation of the whole Country would have been different today. Rahul Gandhi would have been the Prime Minister, not the Leader of Opposition. India alliance would have got 9 more seats in Jharkhand and at least 30 seats in the whole Country. The conspiracy is over, our Hemant is out. This is today's slogan. Even if the Lok Sabha elections happen tomorrow, we will stop the BJP in single digit, we will form the Government of Jharkhandis on our strength,” he added.

Bhattacharya said that the allegations made regarding Bhuinhari land are also of 8 acres. “The area of the whole of Jharkhand is 79, 710 sqaure kilometers. That entire area belongs to Hemant Soren. BJP's threats cannot scare us. June 30 is Hul Diwas. Jharkhand is the land of revolutionaries and struggle is in our DNA. We cannot abandon the voice of the tribals, Dalits and minorities of the country. We cannot play with the hopes of the youth,” he added. He expressed his gratitude to the Jharkhand High Court as well as many people.
