National

Rajesh Thakur, head of state party in Jharkhand, asserted that there is a plot to topple the government after three Congress MLAs from that state were apprehended on Saturday with a sizable sum of cash in West Bengal’s Howrah.

Shiv Sena MLAs who rebelled against the party leader and remained in Guwahati, Assam, during the Maharashtra political crisis were the ones who brought down the Uddhav Thackeray cabinet last month. Irfan Ansari, an MLA from Jamtara, Rajesh Kachhap, an MLA from Khijri, and Naman Bixal, an MLA from Kolebira, were among the three lawmakers who were arrested earlier on Saturday. The enormous sum of money was found in their automobiles in Howarah on Saturday night.

In a statement, Thakur said, “Everyone witnessed how Assam became into the main point for overthrowing governments; drama ensued for 15 days before the Maharashtra government was overthrown; this suggests that there is a plot to overthrow the Jharkhand government. The future will bring more clarity.”

The occurrence, according to the Congress state chairman, is regrettable, and the state committee will report on it to the party’s top command.

He further stated “It won’t be appropriate to discuss it until the investigation is complete, but given the state of the nation, detained MLAs can provide a more thorough explanation. The event is heartbreaking, though. We’ll provide our high leadership a report. Everyone implicated must pay.”

Jharkhand Congress working President Bandhu Tirkey informed, “BJP will always attempt to topple any administration that is not their own. The government of Chief Minister Hemant Soren has been targeted in a similar manner. They were just given money (by the BJP) in order to bring down the administration.”

After the event, the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attacked the Congress, claiming that since the state’s administration was formed, corruption has been out of control.

Aditya Sahu, Jharkhand BJP state general secretary remarked, “Corruption has increased since their administration took office. Large sums of money have also previously been discovered in officials’ houses in Jharkhand. They spend the hard-earned money of the people on other things. When the police captured them, it became public.”
