BJP state spokesperson Pratul Shahdev retorted to the press conference of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and said that Hemant Soren has only been granted bail by a single bench of the High Court. But Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is celebrating in such a way as if he has been acquitted of all the charges.

Pratul said that bail is a part of the court process and there is no need to be so proud about it. Today, a single bench of the High Court has definitely granted bail to Hemant Soren. But the trial of the entire case is still pending. Therefore, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is already contempting the court by considering Hemant Soren as innocent.

Pratul Shah Dev said that the double bench of the High Court had prima facie found the allegations against Hemant Soren in the land scam to be correct. When Hemant Soren challenged his arrest in the High Court, in case number WP(Cr) 68/2024 dated May 3, 2024, the bench of Acting Chief Justice and Justice Navneet Kumar in its judgment prima facie found the allegations against Hemant Soren to be correct. The double bench of the High Court had also justified the initial action of the ED.

On the allegations of harassment by Hemant Soren due to being a tribal, the High Court had said that it seems to be the last attempt of a losing client to escape. The High Court had also considered the argument of keeping the money for the treatment of parents in the reply given by Hemant Soren regarding the Rs 36 lakh recovered from his Delhi residence as untenable. Pratul said that the High Court had rejected the petition challenging the arrest of Hemant Soren. Pratul said that as per the politics of convenience, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is only showing the judgment of the single judge of the High Court given on the limited issue of bail, but is ignoring the comments of the double bench. Pratul said that truth always wins and those who have committed corruption cannot be spared in Modi ji's New India.

Pratul said that a lot of serious allegations have been made against the Hemant Soren government, such as the Ranchi land scam, Sahibganj stone mining scam, illegal mining scam, transfer posting scam, question paper leak scam, etc. There are allegations of a scam of Rs 70,000 crore during the tenure of this government. Institutions like Lokayukta and Information Commission, established for corruption and transparency, have been crippled. It is clearly visible that this government does not want to let the cases of corruption come to the fore.
