BJP State President and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi today targeted JMM leadership.
Welcoming the decision of Delhi High Court regarding the investigation of movable and immovable property of Chief Minister family by Lokpal, Marandi said that Lokpal has been formed to root out corruption and loot. Corruption is a threat to democracy. He said that in the year 2020, MP Nishikant Dubey had filed an application in the Lokpal to investigate the illegal movable and immovable property acquired by former Chief Minister by misusing his power and position.
He said that Congress, JMM and RJD have an old relationship with corruption. They also indulge in corruption and use various tricks to avoid punishment. They blame BJP but run away from investigation. He said that on one hand the Shibu Soren family and Chief Minister talk about not doing corruption. They say that they have not done any wrong. Then why do they run away from the investigating agencies, why do they run to the High Court, Supreme Court to stop the investigation?
He said that the Shibu Soren family says that the Lokpal case is old. He said in a questioning tone that if a thief is caught after five-ten years, will a case not be filed against him?
He said that this is a matter of Lokpal. There will be a CBI investigation. Be it earning money through SAIL company or the business relationship of Soren family with Amit Aggarwal, all will be exposed.
He said that the decision of Delhi High Court may have come with some delay but it is a good decision.
Marandi said that they want to start a new tradition. On their part, they try to stall the case and divert it. But they will have to suffer the consequences.
On the day of ED's interrogation of Chief Minister Hemant Soren at his residence, raising questions on the case filed against a CRPF officer in the case of violation of Section 144K within 500 meters of the CM's residence, BJP State President Marandi said that the biggest culprit in this case is So is Chief Minister Hemant Soren who was addressing the crowd while standing on a vehicle under Section 144. First of all, a case should be registered against them.
He said that CRPF officers were doing their duty. The way hired ponies with bows and arrows and weapons were standing outside the Chief Minister's residence during the interrogation of the CM, the security of the ED officials was really doubtful. After all, why were so many people called on the day of interrogation? Some officers made tools to spoil the atmosphere. The Chief Minister should tell how many cases were registered against people.
He said that Hemant Soren cannot escape no matter how many tricks he uses. The place for such corrupt people is in Hotwar jail. He said that if corrupt robbers continue to capture power like this, the public will lose faith in democracy.
Said that those who have looted the public's hard-earned money should be punished at all costs. Said that BJP's fight against corruption will continue. BJP will not rest until the corrupt are punished. One day the corrupt will have to go to Hotwar.
State media in-charge Shivpujan Pathak, co-media-in-charge Ashok Badaik, state spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo were present in the press conference.
