Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren before his arrest by ED yesterday said, "Most probably ED will arrest me today, but I am not worried as I am Shibu Soren's son. After a full day of questioning, they decided to arrest me in matters which are not related to me. No evidence has been by them found yet. They also tried to spoil my image by conducting raids at my Delhi residence. We have to fight a new fight now against those who commit atrocities against the poor, Adivasis, Dalit and the innocent."

Will conduct countrywide caste census after coming to power: Rahul
