On the other hand, BJP has raised slogans against the attack on a former MLA in several districts of the state today, accusing Jharkhand of jungle raj.

According to the report, Gurucharan Nayak had gone to attend a football competition as chief guest at Jhilruwan village in the Goilkera police station area.
