Simdega : Congress party’s Kolebira MLA has made disclosures after a photo with Amit Singh, one of the three accused arrested by the police over the conspiracy to topple the Hemant Soren government of Jharkhand went viral.

MLA Naman Vixal Kongadi said that he was also offered Rs 50 crore and ministerial post to topple the government. The Congress MLA said that the people who came to meet him said that 11 MLAs have roped in and they just needed the 12th MLA. Rejecting this the MLA not only informed Congress in-charge RPN Singh, but also informed Chief Minister Hemant Soren and warned him.

The MLA said that the photo being circulated is very old. He said that the picture is from January, when he was on tour on behalf of the assembly. During the same tour he had stayed at the guest house in Dhanbad. At the same time some workers had reached there and took photographs with them.
