Sita Soren Responds to Irfan Ansari’s Controversial Comment
The first phase of voting for the assembly elections will be held in Jharkhand in the next two weeks. Earlier, there was an uproar in the state over a statement by the Congress candidate. Congress leader and Jharkhand government minister Irfan Ansari has been accused of making controversial statements against his rival and BJP leader Sita Soren. Meanwhile, Sita Soren is deeply hurt by the derogatory comments made against her. While talking about this, the BJP leader could not control her emotions and cried.
BJP leader Sita Soren is pitted against two-time Congress MP Irfan Ansari from Jamtara seat. Regarding Ansari’s objectionable comment, he said it is an insult to the women of the tribal community. The tribal community will never forgive them. The BJP leader said, “Ever since my candidature was announced, Ansari has been targeting me.” The Congress and the BJP are attacking each other over this issue.
‘My husband is not alive, so…’
Siti Soren filed her nomination papers from Jamtara seat on Sunday. At the same time, he reacted to this a day earlier while speaking to reporters. He said: ‘Ever since my candidature was announced, Ansari has been targeting me. But the derogatory comments he made to the women of the Tiyah tribal community after filing the nomination are not acceptable. It’s an insult. The tribal community will never forgive them.
Crying, she said that her husband is not alive, that is why the Congress leader has made such derogatory comments. When Sita Soren started crying, BJP MP from Nawada Vivek Thakur, who was present with her, tried to handle the situation. Criticizing the Congress leader’s comments, Thakur said the BJP will oppose it not only in Jamtara but across the state.
Sita Soren is the wife of Durga Soren, eldest son of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Shibu Soren. At the same time, Shibu Soren’s younger son Hemant Soren is the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. Sita Soren joined the BJP earlier this year after Hemant Soren was jailed in a money laundering case. At the same time, the BJP has given entry to Sita Soren in the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections.
What did Irfan Ansari say?
Congress candidate Irfan Ansari made derogatory comments about Sita Soren after filing nomination papers for the Jamtara seat on Thursday. When reporters asked him if he was facing a tough challenge from Sita Soren in the Jamtara seat? Responding to this question, Ansari said: “He is a Boro player.” The BJP kidnaps such people and turns them into candidates who are rejected.

The BJP attacks the state’s ruling coalition in this regard. On the other hand, the Congress says the BJP is distorting Ansari’s statement and spreading rumours. Complaints have been made to the Electoral Commission on behalf of both parties. On the other hand, the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) took cognizance of Ansari’s statements on Saturday. A notice has been sent to the Jharkhand government and a report has been sought within three days.
