Hemant Soren to Become Chief Minister of Jharkhand Again

Hemant Soren, the Chief of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), is set to become the Chief Minister of Jharkhand again after Champai Soren resigned from the post. Champai Soren stepped down just five months after taking the oath, paving the way for Hemant Soren’s return.

Hemant Soren, who was recently released from jail, took to social media to thank the Governor and criticize the central government. He wrote, ‘Thank you to his excellency the Governor. The end of the anti-democracy conspiracy hatched by the rivals has begun. Satyamev Jayate.’

Earlier today, Hemant Soren, along with leaders from the INDIA bloc, visited the Raj Bhavan at the invitation of Governor CP Radhakrishnan to form the government in Jharkhand. The Governor invited Hemant Soren to take the oath as the Chief Minister-designate.

Hemant Soren’s wife, Kalpana Soren, also expressed her happiness on social media, stating that democracy has won. She wrote, ‘Democracy ultimately won. The injustice that started on January 31, 2024, has now started getting justice in the true sense. Hail Jharkhand.’

Hemant Soren was released from Birsa Munda Jail on June 28 after nearly five months following bail from 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.
