In a recent twist of events, the political landscape in Jharkhand has been set ablaze. Hemant Soren, who had previously stepped down as Chief Minister, is poised to reclaim the coveted position. His return comes after the alliance of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Congress, and the RJD elected him as their leader, paving the way for his comeback.
Here’s what you need to know:
Hemant Soren’s Resignation: Earlier this year, Hemant Soren resigned as Chief Minister before being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case. Despite the charges, he was granted bail last week.
Champai Soren’s Interim Stint: In Hemant Soren’s absence, Champai Soren took over as Chief Minister. However, recent developments have left him feeling “insulted.” Sources suggest that he may be named JMM’s executive president.
The Decision to Replace Champai Soren: The ruling coalition reached a consensus on Hemant Soren’s return during a meeting at Champai Soren’s residence. Elections in Jharkhand are on the horizon, and the JMM aims to fight with Hemant Soren as its face.
Opposition’s Ammunition: While Hemant Soren’s return strengthens the ruling coalition, replacing Champai Soren provides the Opposition BJP with ammunition. The BJP has already declared that the “Champai Soren era is over.”
Challenges Ahead: As Hemant Soren prepares to take charge once again, the political drama continues. The JMM must navigate internal dynamics and external pressures while gearing up for the upcoming polls.
