Jamshedpur: Members and supporters of BJP Yuva Morcha Mango Mandal burnt an effigy of Chief Minister Hemant Soren at Mango roundabout against the attempt to keep schools of Jamtara closed on Friday instead of Sunday.

During this, BJP workers raised slogans against the state government and the Chief Minister and expressed their anger by burning the effigy of the Chief Minister.

BJP Yuva Morcha leaders said that at the behest of the MLA of Jamtara, more than 100 schools are being observing holidays in schools on Friday instead of Sunday showing government’s proclivity towards appeasement, which the BJP opposes.

BJYM leaders said that if the government issues such orders officially, the BJP will strongly oppose it and give a bandh call against it.

Earlier, BJP leader Babulal Marandi had tweeted the news published in a newspaper saying – “First news of stopping the practice of prayer with folded hands in Garhwa. Now with forced closure of schools on Friday instead of Sunday in Jamtara district. Getting Urdu School board displayed even in general schools. Chief Minister Hemant Soren ji, which direction are you taking Jharkhand in?

Now BJP is preparing to raise this issue vigorously.
