NEW DELHI: BJP National spokesperson Tuhin Sinha on Wednesday accused the Hemant Soren-led government in Jharkhand of being involved in a massive Rs 2, 000 crore scam related to the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) Trust.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Sinha highlighted the trust’s establishment under the Mineral Amendment Act of March 2015, which mandates that mining districts allocate a portion of their royalty revenue - ranging from 10 to 30 per cent - towards community development in affected areas.
According to Sinha, the scam, which came to light in Bokaro, is only the "tip of the iceberg" and may have wider implications for the state.
