Hemant Soren, who has ignored multiple ED summons, is being questioned at his Ranchi home. Hemant Soren, the chief minister of Jharkhand, had his security stepped up on Wednesday as ED agents began to show up to question him regarding a land scam case. The MLAs assembled at the CM’s house on Kanke Road as part of a show of strength organized by the JMM ahead of the scheduled 1pm questioning. In the vicinity of CM’s home, section 144 was enforced to prevent any disruption of law and order in the event that Hemant Soren is taken into custody later in the day.
ED questioning Hemant Soren: What comes next?
1.In light of CM Hemant Soren’s ED questioning, the Jharkhand government has formed a three-person team led by the secretary of the finance department to maintain law and order in the state.
- According to reports, the ED requested security for today’s questioning because Hemant Soren’s January 20 sparked a large-scale protest. That day, he was questioned for about seven hours but the interrogation did not end there.
- In the event that Hemant Soren is taken into custody today, the party is ready for everything.
- Kalpana Soren, the spouse of Hemant Siren, is reportedly the front-runner to succeed him as chief minister. Sarfaraz Ahmed, a JMM MLA, left his position earlier this month, most likely to make room for Kalpana.
- Hemant Soren met his father Shibu Soren on Wednesday morning before the interrogation.
- After the ED officials arrived at Hemant Soren’s Delhi home on Monday and failed to locate him there, the Jharkhand political crisis took an intriguing turn. Hemant Soren was declared a fugitive by the BJP after the chief minister was cut off from communication for about thirty hours. Hemant Soren traveled to Ranchi by car on Tuesday while he traveled to Delhi via chartered aircraft.
- Hemant Soren convened two meetings of the alliance and JMM leaders on Tuesday evening. There are rumors that the chief minister’s wife, Kalpana Soren, will take over in the event of his arrest, so the MLAs reportedly signed a letter of support without naming themselves.
- JMM MP Mahua Maji stated that no such circumstance will occur in response to the rumors surrounding Kalpana Soren. It is evident that the Central Government and the BJP hatched a plot to overthrow and destabilize the government in states where the BJP is not in power and install their own administration. Thus, the party is ready to confront and dismantle any conspiracy. However, since every MLA in the alliance is unified, no such circumstance will occur. The CM will be Hemant Soren. The media is reporting it, Maji stated.
- From his Delhi home, the ED confiscated two BMW vehicles bearing Haryana license plates and Rs 36 lakh on Monday. JMM leaders stated that recovering Rs 36 lakh from a party chief’s home is not a significant sum of money.
- BJP MP Nishant Dubey claimed that Hemant Soren was attempting to coerce and threaten the Jharkhand High Court judges in order to prevent them from questioning the ED.
