Lobin Hembrom and Champai Soren Join BJP in Jharkhand
In Ranchi, Jharkhand, expelled Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Lobin Hembrom joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday. The event was attended by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, BJP State unit chief Babulal Marandi, and former Chief Minister Champai Soren, who had joined the BJP a day earlier.
Lobin Hembrom’s Decision
Lobin Hembrom, who was expelled from JMM for six years earlier this year, explained his decision to join the BJP. He expressed disappointment with the current state of JMM under Chief Minister Hemant Soren, contrasting it with the party’s past under former CM Shibu Soren. Hembrom said, “I am feeling extremely good. You all know I have been in JMM since childhood till 2024. I have worked for the betterment of the party.”
Upcoming Elections
This development comes as Jharkhand prepares for an election to its 81-member legislative assembly later this year. The Election Commission of India has yet to announce the dates.
Champai Soren’s Commitment
Assam CM Sarma met Champai Soren on Saturday and invited him to visit Assam. Champai Soren, who joined the BJP on Friday, promised to work towards the development of Jharkhand and to stop infiltration from Bangladesh. He said, “Tribal villages are vanishing due to Bangladeshi infiltration. Tribal existence is endangering in Jharkhand. To save tribals, we have to remain with BJP.”
Champai Soren resigned from all positions and the primary membership of JMM on August 28. He briefly served as the chief minister of Jharkhand in February before Hemant Soren returned to the position following his bail in an alleged money laundering case.
