New Delhi [India], August 25 : Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MP Deepak Prakash on Friday accused Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren of misusing government machinery and power against state BJP leaders.
Speaking to ANI Deepak Prakash said, "Hemant Soren's government in Jharkhand is scared and is involved in corruption, so any person gives a statement against the government or the CM, an FIR is being registered against them. He is misusing government machinery and power against state BJP leaders. Similar FIRs have been lodged against 546 BJP workers in the entire Jharkhand state."
Referring to Jharkhand BJP chief Babulal Marandi booked for allegedly making derogatory and defamatory remarks against the Soren family, the BJP MP said that the entire party workers are ready to fight against the state government.
"Babulal Marandi is not afraid and his struggle will continue against the anti-people Hemant Soren government. The entire party workers are ready to fight against the state government along with Babulal Marandi," MP Prakash added.
He further alleged that the state government does not "believe in democracy" calling it an "unfortunate situation."
"It is a very unfortunate situation that the Hemant Soren government does not believe in democracy or democratic systems and is working to curb freedom of expression in the state. That's why they are registering FIR against BJP leaders. Babulal Marandi did not use any such language due to which FIR should be lodged against him but it is also a fact that each and every worker of BJP is against the government. The government is scared and so CM Soren is resorting to killing democracy but the time has come to bid farewell to this government in the state," MP Prakash said.
An FIR has been registered under sections 500, 504, 505 (2) IPC against Jharkhand BJP state president Babulal Marandi at Kanke police station in Ranchi for allegedly making derogatory and defamatory remarks against Soren family including Shibu Soren and CM Hemant Soren.
The FIR was registered on August 23, on the complaint of a person named Sonu Tirkey.
In his complaint, Tirkey stated that in a speech published on a Facebook page on August 16, Babulal Marandi used derogatory remarks against the Soren family for his political benefits hurting his as well as the tribals' sentiments.
