Jharkhand Chief Minister Mr Hemant Soren said that if the opposition BJP supports him, he can stop functioning of Coal India Limited, which owes INR 1.5 lakh crore to the Jharkhand government. Chief Minister said "When we raise the issue, some central minister comes and the CIL pays INR 50 crore or INR 100 crore. So far, only INR300 crore has been received. He does not want to make such a decision that will affect the Central government and leave other states without power. Centre is not giving the state its due but is deducting thousands of crores of rupees from its account.”In July, Mr Soren had asked the CIL to immediately pay INR 56,000 crore outstanding dues in lieu of government land allotted to it for mining.
