There is a turmoil in Jharkhand politics at this time. The reason is the official announcement of former Chief Minister Champai Soren joining BJP. Late on Monday night, Champai Soren met Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah. After this, Assam Chief Minister and Jharkhand BJP’s assembly election co-in-charge Himanta Biswa Sarma officially announced Champai’s joining BJP on August 30 on social media platform X. After the rebellion, JMM’s first reaction has come to the fore. The party has said that he will not get the attention in BJP that he got from JMM. JMM leader Manoj Pandey said that as long as Champai Soren is in JMM, he is being given importance, as soon as he leaves the party, the public will also leave him. Along with this, he also responded to the allegations made by Champai Soren on JMM.
He said, it is sad but now the situation is clear. He is joining another party. Only time will tell what effect it will have but history is witness that those who have left JMM and joined another party have not been given that respect. The existence of BJP depends on our leaders. First they took Sita Soren and now Champai Soren ji. They do not have any face of their own. As long as Champai Soren is in our party, he has his own stature and importance. As soon as he leaves our party, I think people will also leave him.
At the same time, he did not deny the allegations made by Champai Soren against JMM but said that if there was any such thing then he should have talked to the party president. He said, he has his own grief and he is a very big leader, so I will not deny his allegations but if there was any such thing then why did he not talk to the party president.
What was Champai Soren’s allegation?
Recently Champai Soren had written a long post on Instagram accusing JMM of insulting him. Along with this, he had announced that he would soon decide about his next political move.
Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote on ‘X’, “Former Chief Minister of Jharkhand and veteran tribal leader of our country Champai Soren ji met the Honorable Union Home Minister Amit Shah ji some time ago. He will officially join the BJP in Ranchi on August 30.”
