Congress Jharkhand incharge shunts down all speculations of revolt within the party

Pakur (Jharkhand) [India], February 3 (ANI): Congress Jharkhand Incharge Ghulam Ahmad Mir has played down all the speculations of revolt within the party after MLA Irfan Ansari remarked that "If a few ministers are repeated, there can be revolt in the party".
Amid the Jharkhand turmoil, Congress MLA Irfan Ansari said that If a few ministers are repeated, there can be revolt within the party and the leadership must think.
"Every MLA has some desire. He is a second-time MLA. But when we had a legislature party meeting before the oath ceremony yesterday, it was stated there that it was a unanimous decision. Finally, that issue has ended," Ghulam Ahmad Mir told ANI.
He further said that given the conspiracy against the people of Jharkhand, it was decided that our MLAs would move to a protected place.
"Had the Floor Test been done, this situation would not have come, but it was scheduled for 5-6 February. So, given the conspiracy hatched against Jharkhand and its people, it was decided that our MLAs would be at a protected place unless the Floor Test happens on 5th February. They will be free after they come and participate in the Floor Test on 5th February," he added.
His sentiments were echoed by the Congress State Unit president Rajesh Thakur who said, "When 'chaukidaar' becomes a 'chor', one has to be cautious of its own people. So, there is not an issue with that. We have had such a big victory after a lot of struggle. When MLAs want to be together and face the Vote of Confidence together, what is the issue with it?...You have seen that governments with a majority have been tweeted...So, we are doing this as per strategy. We have benefitted from this strategy and we will benefit in future too...When a CM can betray his own MLAs - in Bihar - all of these should be taken care of..."
The Jharkhand Legislative Assembly Session will be held on February 5 and February 6.
