Chief Minister Champai Soren on February 5 moved confidence motion in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly. Addressing the Assembly, the CM praised his predecessor Hemant Soren and attacked BJP.
"I proudly say that I am part-2 of Hemant Soren. [Hemant Soren worked] in areas like education, farming in the state...He sensed the situation and started a pension scheme," said the CM.
Champai Soren said that BJP tried to destabilise democratically elected government. He added that the saffron party is using central agencies to frame Hemant Soren in false cases.
Former CM Hemant Soren also showed up for the trust vote. He was last week arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged land scam.
