On Wednesday, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren accused the BJP of being a 'showroom of lies and hatred.' The CM alleges that the party is expending significant funds to disseminate hatred and falsehoods against him.
Soren shared a report on X highlighting alleged 'shadow political advertisement,' underscoring his accusation against the BJP. He reiterated that the BJP's efforts focus on spreading social animosity and misinformation.
