BJP's national vice president and former chief minister Raghubar Das on Saturday termed the leaders of JMM-Congress government as ‘chotta (a petty thief)’ ruling the state.

Das was in Bokaro for a campaign for Yogeshwar Mahato in the Bermo Assembly by-election.

He was addressing a Mahila Chaupal organised at the Tiro Mor of Jainamod. He also stated that the Hemant Soren government is “Nikkami (useless)” and that it's every lie is coming out.

Co-working president of Jharkhand Congress, Rajesh Thakur said BJP has now started using abusive words against them as they are fearing defeat.

"The kind of language being used by the former Chief Minister is not at all tolerable. Today, the way Raghubar Das has used abusive words among women about the government is disgraceful. Before saying such wrong words Das should first realise that many cases are still pending against them in the Anti-Corruption Bureau.”
