‘Champai Soren Was Put Under Surveillance For 6 Months…’: Himanta Sarma’s Big Claim

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accused former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren of being under surveillance by his own government for six months. Sarma, also the BJP co-in charge for Jharkhand elections, made the claim at a program where Soren joined the BJP after leaving the JMM. Sarma warned Chief Minister Hemant Soren of a “befitting reply” in two months. He criticized the “corrupt Hemant Soren government” for targeting Champai Soren. Elections for the 81-member Jharkhand assembly are expected later this year, with Sarma suggesting they will be announced in September.
