PTC News Desk: Champai Soren, former chief minister of Jharkhand and head of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), will join the BJP on August 30 in Ranchi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated.
"Former Chief Minister of Jharkhand and a distinguished Adivasi leader of our country, Champai Soren met Union Home Minister Amit Shah a short while ago. He will officially join the BJP on 30th August in Ranchi," the Assam CM said.
Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma were seen leaving Home Minister Amit Shah's residence following the meeting.
Champai Soren had previously hinted at launching a new party when Soren resorted to social media to express his frustrations, claiming that he had been "insulted" during his stint as Chief Minister and that all options were open ahead of the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections.
In a post on X, he also detailed other instances in which he was denied the right to call a legislative party meeting and was abruptly forced to resign, prompting him "to look for an alternative path."
"I have been trying to get the rights of the tribals, natives, poor, labourers, students and people of backward classes of the state. Whether I held any post or not, I was always available to the public, raising the issues of those people who had dreamt of a better future with the state of Jharkhand," he stated.
