Jharkhand Congress fears losing MLAs to BJP

Ranchi : After facing political storms in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the fear of losing MLAs is now haunting Congress leaders in Jharkhand. Senior Congress leader and Jharkhand minister Rameshwar Oraon said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to break the Congress MLAs. The BJP, however, denies such allegations, calling it a strategy of the Congress to pressurize the Chief Minister.
Oraon said that many of his MLAs were lured by the BJP and an attempt was made to buy them during the Rajya Sabha elections. He alleged that the BJP is constantly trying to lure the Congress legislators.
However, expressing confidence in his MLAs, he said that they are loyal Congressmen and will not go to any other party.
Oraon alleged that during the Rajya Sabha elections, a conspiracy was hatched to form the government by offering money and posts to MLAs.
Congress MLA Irfan Ansari also clarified the situation by tweeting and retweeting from his official Twitter account.
Ansari tweeted, “I would have crossed the river with lies and flattery. But the habit of telling the truth drowned me.”
