BJP hits back on JMM claims, says no one wants to ride a sinking board

Ranchi: After the JMM claimed that more than 7 MLAs of the BJP are in touch with them the BJP has hit back stating that it is a mockery of claims being made and it was for the JMM to first look after its house.

Party spokesperson Praveen Prabhakar said that JMM should tell why it is so scared and if Hemant Soren has so much trust on his MLAs than why he was forced to parade them before the media.

He said that after news surfaced that six MLAs of the BJP want to shift to JMM there was restlessness in the JMM and central General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya is involved in crisis management but despite the hurried press conference two of the MLAs did not turn up.

Mr Prabhakar said that it is clear that all was not right in the JMM as the MLAs have understood that Hemant Soren will not be accepted as the leader of Mahagathbandhan than how can the people accept him as their leader. He said that the same thing the party used to say about Rahul Gandhi which was not liked by the Congress but later he himself accepted the fact.

He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Raghubar Das the people are with the development in the state. The crisis was on in all the parties of the Mahagathbandhan and even the newly appointed JPCC chief was comparing his allies with thieves.
