In a latest development, former Jharkhand Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Champai Soren on Wednesday accused the Hemant Soren government in the state of putting his life at risk by withdrawing all security vehicles assigned to him. He alleged that withdrawing his security vehicles was a political conspiracy.
"The Jharkhand government withdrew all security vehicles assigned to me, putting my life at risk, under a political conspiracy. I am not afraid of this move. The people of Jharkhand would provide security to me," Champai Soren told PTI.
He asserted that he never compromised with his values and people will give a befitting reply to the JMM-led coalition in the assembly polls due later this year.
Asked about Chief Minister Hemant Soren's remarks that the BJP “bought” political leaders in Jharkhand, Champai Soren said, "No one can dare buy me. I have made crystal clear the circumstances behind leaving JMM."
Champai Soren joined the BJP claiming that he was "humiliated" and "disrespected" by the JMM.
