Earlier, Soren said in the four by-elections in Jharkhand, the BJP could not win a single one. He asked the party workers in Jharkhand to ensure rooting out the BJP in the forthcoming parliamentary and assembly elections. He said after branding that the party has a feudal mindset and those associated with it are businessmen, who do not know about giving anything to anyone like the people of Jharkhand.
