Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Criticizes Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh criticized Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, calling him the 'most corrupt CM.' Singh accused Soren of undermining democratic practices and urged voters to elect the BJP. He also attacked Rahul Gandhi for tarnishing India's image abroad and criticized the state government for supporting infiltrators.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday launched a sharp critique against Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, labeling him as the 'most corrupt CM.' Singh argued that Soren has undermined India's democratic values and that the time has come to remove him from office, encouraging the electorate to support the BJP in the upcoming Assembly elections.

"Hemant Soren is the most corrupt CM. He has played with India's healthy democratic practices and indulged in corruption. India will never accept any tainted person," Singh emphasized during the flag-off of BJP's 'Parivartan Yatra' in Itkhori.

The Defence Minister also took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of damaging India's reputation on foreign soil and attempting to provoke the Sikh community. "Rahul Gandhi visited the US... He tried to provoke the Sikh community by saying that India is not safe for them. He is tarnishing the national image abroad," Singh remarked.

Addressing the ruling coalition in Jharkhand, Singh described the JMM, Congress, and RJD as three "speed breakers" hindering the state's progress. He further criticized the state government's alleged support for Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, asserting that such actions would not be tolerated as the BJP stands for justice over caste, creed, or religion.
