“Hemant Soren Returns as Jharkhand CM: A New Chapter Begins!”

Ranchi : Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren tendered his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan in Ranchi on Wednesday to pave the way for Jharkhand Mukti Morcha executive president Hemant Soren to take over the role again. Following Champai Soren’s resignation, Hemant Soren staked his claim to form the government.

After submitting his resignation to the Governor, Champai Soren stated that the ruling alliance had chosen Hemant Soren as the leader. “A few days ago, I was made the Chief Minister and I got the responsibility of the state. After Hemant Soren returned, our alliance decided to choose him as our leader. Now, I have resigned from the post of Chief Minister,” Champai Soren told reporters. Hemant Soren was released from Birsa Munda Jail on June 28 after nearly five months, following bail granted by the Jharkhand High Court in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam. He had resigned as Chief Minister before his arrest on January 31.

After being released on bail, Hemant Soren said on Saturday that the state is a land of courageous people and there is no need to be scared of anyone. Earlier in the day, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey criticized the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha over the leadership change in the state. “The Champai Soren era is over in Jharkhand. In the family-oriented party, people outside the family have no political future. I wish the Chief Minister drew inspiration from Bhagwan Birsa Munda and stood up against the corrupt Hemant Soren” he posted on X.
