Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing an election rally in Jamshedpur today, alleged that the imprisonment of former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren is part of a political conspiracy.

He said Kalpana Soren, the wife of Hemant Soren, is holding the fort and has posed a challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Saying that Hemant Soren is the biggest leader belonging to the tribal community in the country, he said JMM patriarch Shibu Soren had fought hard to make Jharkhand a separate state.

Sameer Mohanti, a sitting MLA from the Baharagoda legislative assembly seat, is contesting from Jamshedpur as Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s candidate. He is pitted against BJP’s Bidyut Baran Mahto.

Jamshedpur will vote in the sixth phase of polling in the country on 25th May.
