"She has joined the Mahila Congress in the presence of Jharkhand Mahila Congress president Abha Sinha yesterday, seeking support in the face of problems being created by BJP workers following her claims," PCC General Secretary Sailesh Sinha said here today.
The 41-year old Soni Devi had on August 18 alleged before the media in Dumka that she separated from her former husband in 1994 and married Jha a few years later and had a four-year-old son from him.
Jha, however, denied this yesterday and said he was prepared to undergo a DNA test to prove that he was not the father of her son.
Two courts in Jamtara have directed the police to file FIRs and inquire into the women’s claim.
Soni Devi’s husband, Bhupen Choudhary, and the minister’s son moved separate courts on August 24 for allegedly tarnishing their image.
