Ranchi, January 28: The Jharkhand opposition today accused the Shibu Soren government of inconsistency on the Maoist issue even as the chief minister met Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in Delhi and resolved to fight the Naxal menace.
“There is no consistency in the statements of the chief minister. He says one thing in Ranchi, another in Bokaro (where Soren’s residence is)and by the time he reaches Delhi he sings a different tune,” Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantric) Principal General Secretary Pradeep Yadav told a news conference here.
An ally of the Congress, the JVM-P alleged that the state government has no ‘spine’ to take on Naxalites.
“The government does not have spine to deal with the Naxalites,” Yadav said to a query on Jharkhand police chief Niaz Ahmed’s assertion last week that the police would launch a major anti-naxal operation within a couple of days.
