Ranchi, March 16: Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantric) today expressed surprise over Chief Minister Shibu Soren’s reported claim that the Centre had not informed the state about the stepped up anti-Maoist operation on the borders with West Bengal.
“We are surprised about the CM’s statement to the media that the state has not been informed when Soren himself had given consent to the Centre during his visit to Delhi,” JVMP-P Principal General Secretary Pradip Yadav told reporters.
Yadav said he reminded Soren of his statement on Maoists on March 8 in the floor of Assembly. “I myself raised the query in the assembly and the Chief Minister said operations will continue against the Maoists,” he said.
