  • Chidambaram appeared in court on behalf of Hemant Soren

    Jharkhand High Court:- During the hearing in Jharkhand High Court on Wednesday on the petition of Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren challenging the powers of ED, senior advocate P. Chidambaram said that there is no criminal case against Soren nor any investigation against him. Agency ED has registered an FIR, hence sending summons to them is not right. He said it is not clear whether the agency is calling Soren as a witness or an accused. He urged the High Court to put a stay on the summons being sent by the ED.

    Chidambaram was involved in hybrid mode during the hearing held in the bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Kumar Mishra and Justice Anand Sen. Apart from this, Piyush Chitresh also contributed in the debate. On the other hand, the senior advocate appearing for ED said that this is a case of predicate offence. He said that Sections 50 and 63 of PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) were challenged on behalf of Soren, which has already been decided by the Supreme Court in the case of Vijay Madanlal Chaudhary.

    The court has fixed October 13 for the next hearing. Assistant Solicitor General of India SV Raju is presenting the case on behalf of ED. Arguments will be held on his behalf on October 13. Let us tell you that ED issued summons to Hemant Soren five times to interrogate him regarding the land scam in Jharkhand and details of his property, but Soren did not appear even once. By filing a petition in the High Court on September 23, he has questioned the validity of Sections 50 and 63 of PMLA. It says that the investigating agency has the right to record the statement under Section 50 or arrest someone during the interrogation itself. This is not right. (IANS)

  • Chhattisgarh’s election results will impact Jharkhand’s politics

    Jharkhand Politics :- The wind of Chhattisgarh election results will also affect the politics of Jharkhand. After victory in three states of Hindi belt, BJP has got a new dose of enthusiasm in Jharkhand. On the other hand, the ruling alliance of JMM-Congress-RJD in the state also realizes that it is going to face a strong challenge from the BJP. BJP members of Jharkhand are most excited by the election results of Chhattisgarh.

    Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are neighboring states and there is a lot of similarity in the circumstances of both the states. There is a significant population of tribals in both the states. While the tribal population in Chhattisgarh is 33 percent, in Jharkhand it is 26-27 percent. Both the states were formed simultaneously 23 years ago. The problem of Naxalism is more or less the same in both the states. With the victory of Chhattisgarh, BJP has got the mantra to attract tribal voters. In the last assembly elections, BJP was out of power after losing 26 out of 28 tribal seats in Jharkhand. This time the party’s focus is on tribal seats. Work on a special strategy for this has also started.

Babulal was made the star campaigner of BJP in the elections held in Chhattisgarh. He held election meetings in ten assembly constituencies in the state, out of which BJP won in eight. BJP had deployed 47 Jharkhand BJP leaders in Chhattisgarh. The experiences of these leaders from Chhattisgarh will be tried in Jharkhand also.

    Especially in case of mining scam, allotment of mining lease to oneself and people close to the family, their problems may also increase. ED has issued summons to Chief Minister Hemant Soren five times so far. The election results of four states will also affect the internal equations of the ruling JMM, Congress and RJD alliance. Till the election results, Congress was presenting its claim as a “big partner” in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, now Congress will not be in a position to put much pressure on JMM within the alliance in seat sharing. The election results have also alerted Congress and JMM that they will have to do more strategically for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections and strengthen the party at the booth level with a better understanding of the issues.
