Political Firestorm in Jharkhand: BJP Accuses JMM Over Lathi Charge

The BJP intensified its protest against the alleged ‘inhumane action’ by authorities by calling for a ‘Kolhan Bandh’ in West Singhbhum. Party leaders vehemently criticized the government’s handling of the situation, terming it an ‘inhumane action’. In response, the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has accused former Chief Ministers Champai Soren and Madhu Koda of inciting the public. The JMM argues that the decision to implement ‘no entry’ regulations on national highways falls under the purview of the central government, absolving the district administration and state government of direct responsibility. This political standoff highlights the deep divisions surrounding the incident.
