Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a significant shift in the state’s political landscape. This announcement was made on August 30 during a press event in Ranchi, attended by key political figures including Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Soren’s move to the BJP is expected to influence the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections.
As the state prepares for elections by the end of the year, political activities are ramping up, especially in the Kolhan region, known for its tribal population. On September 10, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will join Soren in addressing a rally to launch the BJP’s campaign. The Kolhan region, which includes East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Saraikela-Kharsawan, consists of 14 Assembly seats and is a critical area for parties vying for control.
In the previous elections in 2019, the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) secured 11 seats, emphasizing the importance of this election cycle for all political parties involved. With Soren’s prominent role in the BJP, the dynamics of the election are sure to change, creating a fierce competition for influence in Jharkhand.
