Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has declared a 'rebellion' against what he described as 'feudal forces,' in a fiery speech aiming to oust the BJP on a national level.

Speaking at a rally marking 'Hul Diwas,' a day commemorating the 1855 Santhal rebellion against the British, Soren accused the saffron party of turning 'jittery' following his release from jail on Friday. He claimed that BJP leaders are 'conspiring' against him to impede his mission for tribal rights and social justice.

'I stepped out of my home for the first time since my release to address you on Hul Diwas,' Soren told the crowd. 'The BJP is planning to prepone assembly elections in Jharkhand, but I dare them. We are prepared for any challenge,' he added, urging the people to be ready for 'testing times ahead.'
