Jharkhand’s Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, recently made a strong statement regarding the state’s finances. Soren warned the central government that he might stop the supply of coal from Jharkhand if the state does not receive ₹1.36 lakh crore (1.36 trillion rupees). This could potentially cause a widespread power outage across the country.
Soren made this announcement during an event celebrating the foundation day of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party. His words emphasize the ongoing financial disagreements between Jharkhand and the central government. The Chief Minister feels strongly that the state is owed a large sum of money.
According to Soren, the state is prepared to take significant action to get what it believes it deserves. He threatened to stop coal supply, which is a critical resource for making electricity. This move is intended to increase pressure on the central government to address Jharkhand’s financial issues.
“If we don’t get ₹1.36 lakh crore, we will plunge the country into darkness,” Soren stated. This statement shows how serious the situation is and how determined the Jharkhand government is to fight for its financial rights. The dispute mainly involves how revenue is shared and how the state is compensated for the natural resources taken from its land.
This development is happening at a time when ensuring a reliable energy supply is a big concern around the world. Any break in the coal supply could greatly affect India’s power sector and its overall economy. It remains to be seen how the central government will respond to Soren’s warning. Hopefully, they can reach an agreement to prevent a possible energy crisis. The outcome of this conflict could impact businesses and homes throughout the nation, making it an important issue to follow.
