Jharkhand Politics Heats Up as BJP Demands CM Hemant Soren's Resignation

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation has now begun to have an impact on Jharkhand politics. Terming Dharmendra Pradhan's move as a "big example," the Jharkhand Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has upped the ante against Chief Minister Hemant Soren and demanded that he step down immediately. Jharkhand BJP chief spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo launched a scathing attack, saying that now Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren should also resign on moral grounds. He said, "Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has written a very emotional letter resigning from his post. He does not want the youth power of the country to fall into the wrong hands, so he has taken this big step. CM Hemant Soren should also emulate this example set by Dharmendra Pradhan." The BJP has directly put the Hemant government in the dock over the recent competitive examinations held in the state. The party alleges that the future of the youth of the state is being played with. The BJP chief has cited the mess in the examinations, arguing that Pratul Shah has a huge responsibility in these examinations.
