Whoever tries to uproot this government will himself be uprooted: Hemant
Ranchi: Chief Minister Hemant Soren said after ED’s inquiry that this state should never be allowed to fall into the hands of conspirators. The opposition is unhappy with the way our government is working. Shri Soren said that this government is not a carrot and radish which someone can uproot and throw away. It is a government elected by the people. Whoever tries to uproot it will itself be uprooted. The Chief Minister said: There is a conspiracy to topple our government since the beginning. When the opposition people could not do anything directly, then they are playing behind the scenes by putting the IDI in front. But he will not succeed.
For the first time, a tribal youth has formed a government on his own. Don’t let it fall into their hands. CM said that the government was formed with great difficulty. But conspiracies started as soon as the government was formed. We have bitten these conspirators. Now we will also hammer the last nail on their coffin. I thank all the workers for their enthusiasm. Go from village to village and tell people what kind of conspiracy is going on. Preparations are underway to plunder our water forest. After meeting the workers, the Chief Minister went to the old CM House. Also met the MLAs and ministers already sitting there.
