Himanta Biswa Sarma Responds to Allegations of Conspiracy During Jharkhand Polls
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed serious allegations from former Jharkhand Chief Minister and BJP tribal leader Babulal Marandi on Saturday. Marandi accused Sarma of being the target of a conspiracy aimed at implicating him during the recent Jharkhand Assembly elections.
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Marandi claimed that a senior police officer sought to frame Sarma by organizing the transfer of money to an individual tasked with carrying out the alleged plot in both Delhi and Guwahati. In a post written in Hindi, Marandi questioned which police officer in Jharkhand was responsible for this attempt to undermine Sarma, promising that evidence would soon emerge.
He further urged Hemant Soren, the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, to clarify whether he was aware of these allegations, suggesting that the actions of this police officer, motivated by greed for position and wealth, could also pose a threat to Soren himself. Marandi mentioned that the same individuals had previously compiled numerous complaints against Soren, indicating a potentially deep-rooted issue of conspiratorial behavior within the police force.
In light of these claims, Marandi advised Soren to initiate a thorough investigation using his own agencies and offered to provide details directly if needed, stating that it was crucial to identify the “snakes hidden in your own sleeves.”
In response, Sarma recounted an incident from the Jharkhand Assembly elections, explaining that two women had been sent to his office with dubious intentions, leading him to be cautious and alert. He remarked that the claims made by Marandi earlier in the day were noteworthy, and he planned to discuss these matters directly with Marandi. Sarma expressed skepticism that the situation stemmed from personal issues, suggesting it might be part of a larger political scheme targeting the BJP.
