Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Wednesday accused the BJP of maligning his and the state’s image through “shadow campaigns”.

He alleged that the saffron camp has been “spending crores of money on various social media platforms” and “created 95,000 Whatsapp groups” to campaign against the JMM-led coalition in the state.

Hitting out at the saffron party, Soren claimed that “dictators may possess billions of rupees” but he believed it was “better to stick to principles rather than securing a win through unfair means”.
