Hemant Soren Says 'Rat-Like RSS Invaded Jharkhand,' BJP Hits Back With Bangladeshi Infiltrators Charge

Ranchi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday asserted that the RSS is not ‘rats’ as stated by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren but ‘Hindu lions’, and accused him of patronising Bangladeshi infiltrators for political gains.

Soren, also the executive president of the ruling JMM, on Wednesday compared the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh with "rats" and accused both the BJP and the RSS of attempting to undermine communal harmony in the state for the sake of garnering votes.

"Hemant Soren compared RSS with rats. This is an insult to the 'Hindu lions' who are working to restore the glory of Sanatan dharma. Soren is working in the pattern of George Soros. For petty political gains, he (Soren) is patronising Bangladeshi infiltrators," Amar Kumar Bauri, Leader of the Opposition in Jharkhand Assembly, told PTI.
