BJP also attacked

The BJP unit of the state has also surrounded the government.

It is a straightforward dictatorship and reflects the oppressive mentality.”

Dispute on farmers’ land

Soren announced on Saturday (August 23) that he would go to Nagdi on August 24 and fight to save the fertile land of farmers. He had said that there is no opposition to the hospital, but a smart city or other barren land may be used for RIMS-2.

He alleged that the pattern of the government is clear-efforts are being made to suppress those who raise the voice of the tribal society through fake cases or encounters.
