Section of BJP with the government: Saryu
MLA Saryu Rai has questioned the role of Minister Banna Gupta and the main opposition party in the Shastri Nagar violence case. He mentioned that some members of the BJP in Jamshedpur are seen supporting the government. The MLA believes that the opposition’s role in both cases is questionable, and when the Sarvajan Hindu Samiti became ready to take action in the Shastri Nagar violence case, the people who boasted of being part of the so-called Hinduist party retreated. MLA Saryu Rai also plans to use the platform of Sarvajan Hindu Samiti to reveal the truth in this matter to the whole state. Additionally, he mentioned that he has made a complaint to the Governor in the Banna Gupta episode and is preparing a charge sheet in the whole matter, which he plans to hand over to the government.
