Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has publicly expressed his discontent with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party, citing humiliation and lack of respect from the party leadership. Soren revealed that on July 3, all his government programs were cancelled without notification, and he was barred from attending official functions. This incident left him feeling deeply insulted, prompting him to explore alternative political paths.Champai Soren has stated that he now has three options: retiring from politics, forming his own organization, or joining another party – widely speculated to be the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He has removed the JMM name from his social media profiles and the party flag from his ancestral home, fueling rumors of his potential shift to the BJP.Meanwhile, current Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has accused the BJP of ‘poaching’ MLAs and ‘dividing society’. Hemant Soren alleged that the BJP brings people from other states to ‘spread poison’ among tribals, Dalits, and minorities, and to break families and parties. He also claimed that the Election Commission has been ‘occupied by BJP people’ and is no longer a constitutional institution.The political tension in Jharkhand has intensified with these developments. Champai Soren’s potential move to the BJP could significantly impact the state’s political landscape, especially with the upcoming assembly elections. The BJP is reportedly keen to win over Champai Soren, seeing it as a major coup that could help them secure the tribal vote bank in Jharkhand.As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on Champai Soren’s next move. While he maintains that he is currently ‘where he is’ and claims to be in Delhi for personal reasons, the political circles in Jharkhand are abuzz with speculation about his future political alignment and its potential ramifications for the state’s political dynamics.
