Northeast EC sends opinion to Jharkhand Governor in Hemant Soren mining lease case, CM denies reports

Ranchi, 25/7:  Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Thursday alleged blatant misuse of constitutional authorities and public agencies after reports claimed that the Election Commission recommended his disqualification as an MLA in the mining lease case.

 

No communication in this regard has been received by the Chief Minister’s Office from either the Election Commission or Governor Ramshe Bains, his secretariat said.

 

“It apparently seems that BJP leaders including a BJP MP and his puppet journalists have themselves drafted the ECI report, which is otherwise a sealed cover report,” Soren said in a statement issued by his secretariat.
