Kiren Rijiju on Hemant Soren: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has made a verbal attack on Hemant Soren, who was arrested in connection with the land scam in Jharkhand. He has described Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren as a “spoiled son” and said that being a tribal does not mean that he has no right to loot public money.
The Union Minister said through a post on the social media platform Anyway, tribals do not have the license to loot public money.
I am a tribal from a more backward area. I find your comment funny. If Shibu Soren ji says this dialogue then I can accept it but this dialogue does not suit a spoiled son. Anyway, tribals do not have the license to loot public money. https://t.co/Eptux567n4
