On the eve of Jharkhand assembly monsoon session starting from August 1, 2025, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president and Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi on Thursday targeted the Hemant Soren government accusing that Hindu community leaders are being sent to jail in false cases.
Mr. Marandi alleged that the State Government has been trying to send its opponents, especially those associated with the Hindu community, to jail by implicating them in fake cases as part of a conspiracy.
He alleged that in the last five and a half years, many such examples have come to the public domain where innocent people have been made victims of conspiracy motivated by political vengeance.
'The State Government is once again preparing to implicate Ranchi youth Bhairav Singh in a new fake case. The facts related to Bhairav Singh that are coming to light, seems suspicious,' Mr. Marandi told the press in Ranchi.
Mr. Singh is local BJP leader of Ranchi and has been active in taking Hindutva agenda at large scale in the State capital. Mr. Singh had made the headlines after he had disturbed the CM's convoy following which FIR was lodged against him few years back.
Mr. Marandi further alleged the police officers conspiring at the behest of the government to implicate the common people in false cases. He asserted that it was easy to implicate but hard to prove in the court.
'It would be better to refrain from implicating people before they have to face legal consequences. The Chief Minister is requested to leave aside the prejudice and ensure an impartial investigation of this entire matter and save the future of the youth of the state from being ruined,' Mr. Marandi said.
Asked about issues which would be raised by the opposition in the assembly, Mr. Marandi said that it would be decided in the BJP legislature party meeting.
Assembly speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato also convened the all-party meeting in which Mr. Soren and Mr. Marandi was present. The five-day monsoon session will end on August 7, 2025.
During the meeting, it was decided that there will be a special debate on excess rainfall which has caused damage to the farmer's crops.
While coming out from the Speaker's chamber, Mr. Soren said that amid heavy rains, the monsoon session of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly has been convened and the session is going to be very important, because all the members have witnessed the heavy rainfall and damage done to crops.
Asked about opposition to create ruckus during the Assembly session, Mr. Soren said that opposition leaders will not gain anything out of chaos and the government is very sensitive towards the people of Jharkhand eight of urban or rural areas.
During the monsoon session, the government will present the first supplementary budget of the current financial year as well as several bills including the University Bill-2025 in the House.
