Hemant Soren cracks ‘sarcastic remark’ on PM’s call to him
Friday, 7th May 2021
PM Narendra Modi Ji made a call to Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Hemant Soren to discuss the covid-19 situation and this call has been described by Soren as ‘Mann Ki Baat’ of Modi Ji instead of just business talks. This reaction came from Soren after the PM conversed with the CMs of the states of Telangana, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh this Thursday in order to discuss the status of the Covid pandemic in the state.
"Today the respected Prime Minister called. He only spoke his "Mann Ki Baat". It would have been better if he would have talked business and heard the issues," tweeted Hemant Soren.
As per official sources Mr. Hemant Soren was not very pleased with the conversation as the PM was not very enthusiastic about listening to the present issues related to the state of Jharkhand. Instead, Soren was just a listener in this context while it was the PM who did all the talking regarding the present covid situation.
