The alliance government's recent decisions will affect their (BJP) base in tribal areas," Jharkhand Congress working president Bandhu Tirkey told ANI. Meanwhile this morning Soren tweeted that he hailed from the tribal community and was unaffected by the ongoing slugfest. "This is a tribal son. Never have our ways ever been stopped by their tactics nor have we ever...

Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday alleged that the BJP is “roaming around with moneybags to buy legislators” and trying to use the ED and income tax department to topple the JMM-Congress government in Jharkhand. Baghel said: “The fear of Jharkhand MLAs is that BJP is roaming around with bags of money to poach legislators." State education minister Jagarnath Mahto on Thursday expressed faith in the chief minister’s abilities to sail through the political crisis prevalent in Jharkhand and said that he is confident that their government will remain intact and complete its full tenure. “Hemant Soren is a polished leader and an able navigator who knows how to tide over a crisis,” Mahto said. “The governor assured them of appropriate action in the matter shortly,” Raj Bhavan said. The suspense over the CM’s continuance as an MLA and the government’s possible response to it has been building since word spread last week about the EC recommending his disqualification for allegedly holding a mining lease while in office. The Jharkhand government decided on Thursday that it would pay Rs 2 crore for chartered plan services for a month, an official said. “The cabinet gave its approval to hire a chartered plane for the movement of VIPs and VVIPs of the state.

After the meeting, which was chaired by JMM supremo and Rajya Sabha MP Shibu Soren, JMM central general secretary and member of the committee Vinod Pandey interacted with the media and blamed the BJP for obstructing the implementation of decisions taken by the state government either with the help of “Raj Bhavan” or “the high court”. “The state government either through its cabinet or the Assembly has taken decisions in accordance with public sentiments for the benefit of the masses. But the BJP, sometimes with the help of the high court and sometimes with the help of the Raj Bhavan, hinders the implementation of these decisions,” Pandey said. “We will suggest to the chief minister that the important bills that were passed by the state Assembly and returned by the governor — especially the ones defining local residents, reservation in recruitment policy, OBC reservation and prevention of mob lynching — should be sent back to the governor after necessary corrections,” Pandey added. The tribals argue that the implementation of a separate Sarna religious code in census surveys would allow them to be identified as the followers of the Sarna faith. Tribal organisations have claimed that with the Centre dropping the “Others” option from the religion column for the next census, Sarna adherents would be forced to either skip the column or declare themselves members of one of the six specified religions — Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

In a joint statement on August 28, UPA constituents had accused Bais of encouraging political horse-trading by "deliberately delaying" announcing the decision.
