As CM won the majority vote, BJP walked out of the assembly before votes. They had earlier protested against the one-day special session the entire day.
Hemant Soren, accused Chief Minister, after commencing the trust vote, allegedly alleged BJP of creating a “civil war-like situation” by sparking riots to win elections. Soren also alleged that his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma is also implicated in “buying Jharkhand MLAs” to bring down the Government.
“The opposition has destroyed democracy. The BJP has been indulging in horse-trading of legislators… We will show our strength in the house,” said the CM against the slogans shouting BJP MLAs.
“We have heard of people buying clothes, ration, grocery. But only the BJP is into buying legislators…After installing the country’s first tribal President, they are trying to dislodge a tribal Chief Minister,” he further alleged.
On asking why he exercised a trust vote, Mr Soren said to reporters, “Who will take a trust vote? The opposition?”
Further added, “The opposition has spread a web of conspiracies to bring me down. They will be trapped in the web of their own making.”
