Ranchi, Dec 2 (IANS) Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Shibu Soren said the death of Maoist leader Kishenji was “not good for the country”, inviting sharp reaction from political leaders.
“Kishenji was a big leader. His death is not good for his party and not for the country,” Soren, chairman of the ruling JMM-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance steering committee, told reporters in Jamshedpur.
Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji was killed in a shootout with security forces in West Bengal last week.
Soren’s statement has invited sharp reaction in the political circle.

Marxist Coordination Committee’s (MCC) lone legislator Arup Chatterji said: “Soren is a big leader and he should not come out with such statements.”
