Ranchi: Jharkhand BJP president Babu Lal Marandi has alleged a conspiracy was hatched during the state assembly polls last year by a senior police officer to frame Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma even as the latter claimed that attempts were made to honey trap him during the period.
Sarma was BJP’s in charge of the Jharkhand assembly election, held last year.
Marandi wrote on X, “During the Jharkhand Assembly elections, which senior police officer from Jharkhand paid someone twice to send them to Delhi and Guwahati (Assam) in an attempt to frame Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Ji in a conspiracy? This will soon be revealed with evidence. Chief Minister Hemant Soren Ji, were all these despicable acts happening with your knowledge or without it?"
By the way, let me tell you that at one time, these same people had taken on the “task” of compiling a detailed account of your activities, complete with documents, and sending or arranging to send over a hundred signed and anonymous complaint letters against you to various places, using both right and left hands.
“You should come forward and clarify this. Hemant ji, don’t you think that an officer who, driven by greed for position and money, dares to commit such a vile act and conspiracy against someone holding a prestigious high office in the country, could, in bad times, do something equally despicable and dirty against you for their own benefit?,” he claimed.
On the other hand, Sarma told the media, “While election was underway, two women had come to my office. They tried to talk to me in some other way. I suspected something and sent them back in the manner they should be sent back."
“This morning former chief minister Babulal Marandi stated in X there was a move to frame me. I will talk to Marandi in this regard. I do not have personal rivalry with anyone. However, there might be some political rivalry,” Assam CM commented.
