Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Dec 25 (PTI) Purnima Sahu, a first-time BJP MLA and daughter-in-law of former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das, claimed that the women of the state felt unsafe because of "boosted morale of criminals under the Hemant Soren government".

Sahu was elected to the state assembly in this year's elections after defeating AICC executive committee member Ajoy Kumar by over 42,000 votes in Jamshedpur East assembly segment, which Das had held five times in a trot since 1995.
