Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], August 21 (ANI): Former Jharkhand Chief Minister and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader, Champai Soren on Wednesday announced that he will strengthen a new political party and said that a clear picture on his next move would emerge within one week.
“I will not retire from politics. In the new chapter that I have started, I’ll strengthen the new organisation and if I find a good friend in the way, I’ll move ahead with that friendship to serve the people and state,” Soren said leaving open the possibility of future alliances.
On being asked about his decision to form a new party as he has less time, the former CM asked the reporter “Do you have any issue? Aapko kya pareshaani hai. We don’t have any problem in forming the new party. Nayaa bhi bann sakta hai, agar dost hoga toh uske saath bhi badhaa jaa sakta hai. Everything will become clear in a week.”
Earlier on Tuesday night, Champai Soren reached his hometown, Seraikela Kharsawan and was welcomed by supporters.
Soren’s arrival from Delhi has intensified speculation that he may join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
On Sunday, Soren took to social media to voice his grievances, stating that he had been “insulted” during his tenure as Chief Minister and that all options remained open ahead of the forthcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections.
Speaking on his return, Soren remarked, “I went to Delhi for personal reasons, during which I made that post. The whole country saw my thoughts, and I stand by them. There are three choices ahead of me: one is to retire, the second is to form a new party, and the third is to work with a good companion if I find one. I am firm in my decision–my new chapter is about to begin. I considered retiring, but the overwhelming support from my followers has made me rethink. I have had no communication with anyone from the JMM.”
Meanwhile, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren indirectly accused the BJP of attempting to poach MLAs and destabilise the state government. He claimed that the BJP’s tactics were aimed at dividing families and communities in Jharkhand.
As the political climate in Jharkhand intensifies, all eyes are on Champai Soren and his next move, with significant implications for the upcoming state elections. (ANI)
