Jharkhand's Chief Minister to-be Hemant Soren on Friday requested people to give him books which are full of knowledge instead of bouquets of flowers. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief tweeted a photo of a bunch of bouquets given to him saying he feels bad when he can't take care of the flowers people give him.
In another tweet in Hindi, Hemant Soren added that the people giving him flowers should write their names in the books because when a library will be made to keep the books given as gifts full of love, they will enlighten everyone forever.
