I’m victim of a made-up case: Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren

When questioned about a case pertaining to alleged irregularities in the grant of mining lease, Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of vendetta.

“Just like Aryan Khan, who was found to be the victim of a made up case, that’s how I see the Enforcement Directorate case against me. Neither on ED’s site or publicly, have they been able to say what they have found or the progress of the case,” Soren told reporters.

He went on to say: “The ED is investigating the MGNREGA scam in two districts of the state. I don’t understand how the agency officials have have done so without even visiting those places or questioning relevant officials. They don’t want to probe deeper, they just want to use to their ends.”

Jharkhand CM further said that his government hasn’t auctioned either the iron or major minerals since coming to power, claiming that the Union owes the state dues of up to ₹1.36 lakh crores over the last 20 years.

Soren Sunday met Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi to hold deliberations on the Rajya Sabha polls in the state.

After his 75-minute long meeting with Gandhi, Soren spoke to reporters.
