Supriyo Bhattacharya had said- increasing anger among the public
It would be relevant to mention here that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya, angry with the summons being repeatedly sent by ED to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, had said in a press conference that public anger against ED is increasing. Lest it take a gruesome form. Supriyo Bhattacharya had asked that when ED information is not in the public domain, then how does the media get information about it. He said that there is anger among the people of the state due to the biased action of ED. Therefore, ED should maintain its transparency and credibility. After this statement of Supriyo Bhattacharya, ED and the main opposition party BJP had expressed the fear of deteriorating law and order. When journalists asked Governor CP Radhakrishnan questions related to deterioration in law and order, he said that this cannot happen. No one is above the law in the country. ED is doing its work.
