Jharkhand Congress fears losing MLAs to BJP. After witnessing political turmoil in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, now the same tensions are being felt by Jharkhand congressmen. Senior Congress leader and Jharkhand minister Rameshwar Oraon said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to break the Congress MLAs.

Oraon said that many of his MLAs were lured by the BJP and an attempt was made to buy them during the Rajya Sabha elections. He alleged that the BJP is constantly trying to lure the Congress legislators.

According to Mr Oraon, the conspiracy was hatched during the Rajya Sabha elections where the alleged party ( BJP) was offering offering money and posts to MLAs to form the government.

Congress MLA Irfan Ansari also clarified the situation by tweeting and retweeting from his official Twitter account.

Ansari tweeted, “I would have crossed the river with lies and flattery. But the habit of telling the truth drowned me.”

Ansari has also retweeted a tweet that reads, “Your pain is valid Dr. Irfan Ansari. Rahul Gandhi, what has happened in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the evidence of it will come forward in Jharkhand. Is the MBBS degree not sufficient of a man who carries Congress flag day and night and is educated and straight forward. Matriculation failure is a must. This is the problem of Congress. Change with the times.”

However, the BJP denies any such allegations. Jharkhand BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev told IANS, “There is no value of Congress ministers’ words for the government. In this situation, they want to create pressure on Chief Minister Hemant.” Shahdev added that the situation regarding coronavirus in Jharkhand is getting frightening. In such a situation, the Congress is trying to divert the people’s attention by raising such issues.

However, sources say that many Congress leaders are angry with the government and they have raised questions about the government’s decisions.
