Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday asserted that the opposition INDIA bloc will wipe out BJP from across the country. Declaring rebellion against feudal forces, Soren said BJP leaders are conspiring against him again after his release from jail.
Soren was addressing a rally in Bhognadih on the occasion of 'Hul Diwas', a day marking the 1855 Santhal rebellion against the British.
"I have stepped out of my home for the first time post my release to address you on Hul Diwas'. It is a day of inspiration for all of us. Like the Santhal uprising against the British, we declare 'Hul rebellion' to drive out feudal forces not only from Jharkhand but across the country," he said.
“I was implicated in false cases...The Centre unleashes its probe agencies to harass those who raise their voice against it. It is only two days that I am out of jail, but the BJP is jittery. Top party leaders are frequenting Jharkhand and conspiring against me again," he said.
Soren also said that Jharkhand is a land of revolutionaries and we are not afraid of jail or execution.
He also alleged that the BJP is making plans to prepone the Jharkhand assembly elections. "It has come to my knowledge that they (BJP) are making plans to prepone assembly elections (in Jharkhand)... I dare them to conduct the elections any day they wish to... We are prepared. They will face a crushing defeat," said Soren.
Soren claimed that he was sent behind bars when he started demanding the rights of tribals, including Rs 1.36 lakh crore from the Centre in lieu of coal resources.
The former CM assured people that he would complete the task he started and, that the war he waged would not stop.
NEET exam paper leaks issue and soaring prices of essential commodities were also mentioned in Soren's speech.
The former CM was released on Friday from the Birsa Munda Jail after the Jharkhand High Court granted bail to him in a money laundering case. In connection with the case linked to an alleged land scam, he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 31
Along with him, Soren’s wife and JMM legislator Kalpana Soren and brother Basant Soren, who is also a minister attended the rally.
