Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally for the Jharkhand Assembly polls in Bokaro on Sunday, November 10th, and promised the addresses that the BJP would ensure corruption-free government in the state.
ED, which is looking into a land scam in Jharkhand that led to the arrest and eventual release of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has reportedly discovered that the mafia took possession of 1,800 acres of unsaleable tribal land by creating forged documents to alter the property's status.
Champai Soren wrote a long post on Twitter to mention chronological events that unfolded around his ouster which he has described as a ‘humiliating experience’ and a blow to his self-respect, forcing him to explore his future options.
The recent political crises was triggered after Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, hours after he resigned from the post of Chief Minister of the state. However, despite being in the agency’s custody, the court had allowed him to attend the trust vote
Earlier, the ED said it had recovered cash worth in excess of Rs 36 lakh from the possession of the JMM chief along with documents linked to the ongoing investigation into the alleged acquisition of land by 'fraudulent means'.
