Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren and Son to Join BJP on August 30
New Delhi [India], August 27: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren announced that he and his son Babu Lal Soren will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on August 30. Soren, who initially considered retirement, decided to stay active in politics due to public enthusiasm.
“Today I had started a new chapter. Initially, I thought of taking retirement, but later witnessing the enthusiasm of workers and the public, I thought of being actively involved in politics. Later, I also thought of forming a new organization, but due to time constraints and the unique dynamics in Jharkhand, I decided to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after much contemplation,” said Champai Soren.
He expressed faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. “I have full faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, I decided to join the BJP. I will join the BJP on the 30th. Me and my son Babulal Soren will join the BJP in Ranchi. We will go to Jharkhand tomorrow,” he added.
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi welcomed Soren’s decision, saying, “Champai Soren was the CM of Jharkhand and was doing good work. It is correct that he was made the CM but instead of asking him to resign all his work was cancelled and a new leader was chosen. He was insulted, after which Champai Soren has chosen an alternative. He has done the right thing.”
However, JMM Leader Manoj Pandey criticized the BJP, stating, “It pains but now the situation is clear. He will be joining another party. What impact it will have that time will tell. History has proven that those who have left JMM and joined some other party, have not been given that respect…BJP’s existence is dependent on our leaders…They (BJP) have no face of theirs.”
